European Union's Counter-Terrorism Strategy

The European Union's Counter-Terrorism Strategy aims to prevent terrorist threats, protect citizens, and respond effectively if attacks occur. It focuses on four key areas: preventing radicalization and recruitment, detecting and investigating threats, safeguarding critical infrastructure and public spaces, and coordinating emergency responses. The strategy emphasizes cooperation among member states, intelligence sharing, legal measures, and addressing underlying causes like social exclusion. Overall, it seeks a comprehensive approach to reduce the risk of terrorism, ensuring security while upholding fundamental rights and freedoms.
