A/HRC/6/17 page 21 65. In the context of the Strategy, Member States agreed to undertake, inter alia, the following measures to address conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism: • Timely and full realization of the development goals and objectives agreed at the major United Nations conferences and summits, including the Millennium Development Goals; • Eradication of poverty and promotion of sustained economic growth, sustainable development and global prosperity for all; • The pursuance and reinforcement of development and social inclusion agendas at every level as goals in themselves, recognizing that success in that area, especially on youth unemployment, could reduce marginalization and the subsequent sense of victimization that propels extremism and the recruitment of terrorists; • Encouragement of the United Nations system as a whole to scale up cooperation and assistance in the fields of rule of law, human rights and good governance to support sustained economic and social development. 66. The Special Rapporteur welcomes these and other concrete measures and once again underlines their close relationship with the protection and promotion of economic, social and cultural rights. 67. States and international organizations have an important role in promoting the realization of economic, social and cultural rights through their development programmes, and thereby contributing to addressing the conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism. In its development cooperation, for instance, Germany has included a specific component of addressing conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism.42 In 2002, the Government of Germany implemented, as part of its anti-terror package, 34 regional and 5 supra-regional special measures for crisis prevention and peacebuilding as a contribution to structural terrorism prevention worldwide. The Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit GmbH was the executive agency, contracted by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.43 As a strategic framework, the package will need to address both the symptoms and the causes of terrorism, and will involve various policy areas. At the operational level, development cooperation is mandated to implement primarily structural terrorism prevention measures, which include civilian conflict transformation measures, as well as specific development cooperation measures designed to help eliminate the structural causes of and frameworks conducive to terrorism. Traditional development cooperation programmes are often highly capable of integrating crisis prevention and peacebuilding into their existing work by incorporating new approaches. 42 See also Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark report, “Countering radicalisation through development assistance: a country assessment tool”, March 2007, available from www.um.dk. 43 Thania Paffenholz and Dunja Brede, “Lessons learnt from the German Anti-Terrorism Package”, available at www.gtz.de/de/dokumente/en-atp.pdf.
