Position of Media and Law Enforcement Institutions in the Fight Against Violent Extremism and Terrorism – The Case of North Macedonia

Abstract

The organized system for the prevention of violent extremism and terrorism constitutes a necessary step in the framework of the detection and effective prevention of criminal activities related to these two acts.

National strategies and action plans, as important state documents, as well as the National Committee for the Suppression of Violent Extremism and the Fight against Terrorism need unquestionable support from the media as well as law enforcement institutions, in the form of a Task Force which would function on the basic principles and strategic goals of this prevention system.

A very important role in this preventive system would have the media, which would promote this war, in a form acceptable to the public, while also maintaining not only its principles but also social balances.

Keywords: extremism, terrorism, strategy, security, justice, media
