In the wake of the flagship event at #UNGA74 in which the Minister of the Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands called for ‘Accountability for atrocity crimes committed by Daesh’, read some of the research by ICCT and our fellows on the aftermath of IS:
In case you missed it, ICCT's very own Senior Project Leader, @tanya_mehra1, and Research Fellow, @bibivanginkel, offer critical opinions in @nrc on the proposal of The Netherlands at #UNGA regarding the trial of IS fighters: nrc.nl/nieuws/2019/09…
"Those who have been rendered stateless will have few alternatives but to identify themselves as citizens of ISIS." ICCT Associate Fellow, Colin Clarke (@ColinPClarke) highlights in @FPRI that the international community must remain active in fighting IS: fpri.org/article/2019/0…
How should we go about the repatriation of foreign fighters and their families? Read the solutions offered in the ICCT Policy Brief by @tanya_mehra1 and Research Fellow, @chpaulussen: icct.nl/publication/th…
Jihadist #loneactor attacks remain a threat. How can practitioners in CT undermine extremist messaging in jihadist magazines and respond post-incident? Read the Europol paper by ICCT Associate Fellow @haroro_ingram & Research Fellow, @reed_alastair: icct.nl/wp-content/upl…
To greater understand IS's present reality, read ICCT Research Paper by Asaad Almohammed (@Asaadh84) which offers an empirical approach for assessing the current state and future directions of the Salafi-Jihadi Movement’s (SJM) member organisations: icct.nl/publication/se…
Finally, how can studying the internal structure of IS shed light on why it was able to gain as much control as it did? Find out at ICCT's "ISIS Files" event that will feature a panel on the 15,000 pages of #ISIS documents gathered in Iraq. To register: icct.nl/event/the-isis…

With the influx of public interest on the #ProudBoys and other #RightWingExtremist groups, we at ICCT wanted to highlight some crucial analysis done by past contributors on political violence and the far-right (1/6 of a thread on #RWEX research)
Samantha Kutner (@ashkenaz89) wrote an in-depth analysis of the Proud Boys, to provide insight on how broader themes of self-categorization, precarity, and deliberate provocation in crypto-fascist extremist organisations manifest themselves (2/6) icct.nl/publication/sw…
Jacob Ware's (@Jacob_A_Ware) detailed and comparative analysis of terrorist manifestoes used by the violent Far-Right highlights common themes and key implications for counterterrorism scholars and practitioners (3/6) icct.nl/publication/te…
1/5 What does it mean to mainstream gender across counter-#terrorism research and practice? (note that gender is not synonymous with women) A thread on ICCT's recent publications on male supremacism and the need for gender-sensitive analysis.
2/5 Our perspective on the Hanau terror attack explores the links between male supremacism and #FarRight violence, and notes how these links should not be trivialised by labelling attackers as incels: icct.nl/publication/ma…
3/5 More generally, how has male supremacism contributed to terrorist attacks? @alexdibranco argues that it is a distinct form of right-wing extremist ideology that has only recently entered public awareness: icct.nl/publication/ma…
[Thread] Looking for webinar resources in these socially distant times? We've compiled a list of webinar recordings from the past week featuring ICCT fellows sharing their expertise on counter-#terrorism! (1/4)
And we're live! Click the link to join our Live Briefing on al-Qaeda and the Islamic State in West Africa with @TheSoufanCenter's @ColinPClarke and our own @Julie_Coleman. Cooperation or competition? Looking forward to an engaging Q&A to follow! zoom.us/j/106685184
To kick us off, @ColinPClarke drives home the point that these groups are not monolithic entities—regardless of what’s happening in the Sahel, something entirely different could be happening in other local contexts, like Southeast Asia. Join in here: zoom.us/j/106685184
.@ColinPClarke: In recent years, AQ has done a good job of staying under the radar—where it likes to be. ISIS has borne the brunt of the West: this has allowed AQ to effectively ingratiate itself in local communities in this region.
In recent years—as IS’ regional affiliate, Islamic State in Greater Sahara has risen—the Western Sahel has experienced an unprecedented rise in terrorist violence, with more than 4,000 deaths reported in 2019. But, al-Qaeda’s presence remains strong...
Now—with both groups vying for resources, support, and territory in West Africa—will al-Qaeda and the Islamic State compete or cooperate? Register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
