Poachers as Gamekeepers: Can Terror Incubators Counter Terror?

The Raisina Podcast

The struggle against terrorism has dual frontlines: both weak or militarised states, and platforms and online communities that have been weaponised by recruiters and purveyors of radicalisation. What tools does the global community have to punish behaviour from states that have traditionally viewed “non-state actors” as a tool rather than a threat – or in which significant and entrenched interests have sympathy for officially disavowed terror organisations’ goals? And can a global response to terror ignore the online spaces that serve as incubators of terror? The panel called for global condemnation of nation-states providing safe haven to terror groups.
