Third Meeting of the Counterterrorism Law Enforcement Forum [ https://www.state.gov/third-meeting-of-the-counterterrorism-law-enforcement-forum/ ] 07/12/2024 01:28 PM EDT
Office of the Spokesperson
The U.S. Departments of State and Justice convened the third meeting of the Counterterrorism Law Enforcement Forum (CTLEF) in The Hague, the Netherlands on July 10-11.  The CTLEF, which focuses on countering the global threat of racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism (REMVE), brought together law enforcement, prosecutors, other criminal justice practitioners, financial regulators, and policymakers from Europe, North and South America, and the Indo-Pacific; alongside specialists from, Europol, INTERPOL, the International Institute for Justice and the Rule of Law, other multilateral organizations, and outside experts.
At the CTLEF meeting, participants shared information about the transnational REMVE threat, including how REMVE actors and networks are communicating and traveling across borders to advance their efforts.  Government officials also provided overviews of recent actions they have taken to disrupt REMVE activity, such as criminal prosecutions and financial measures, and compared notes on the most effective strategies and approaches to address this growing threat.  Participants also highlighted the damaging role that Russia is playing in this area, particularly with its propaganda attempting to justify its war against Ukraine as “de-Nazification.”
Officials from the U.S. Departments of State, Justice, the Treasury, Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and National Counterterrorism Center participated in this meeting.  The CTLEF will convene again in the second half of 2025.
