Policy Framework:
National Action Plan

In Finland, violent radicalisation and extremism have been a growing phenomenon. Violent radicalisation and extremism are a threat to security, the sense of security, people’s wellbeing and the sense of participation, democracy as well as human and fundamental rights. The prevention of violent radicalisation and extremism is a shared task for the whole of society, and different authorities and civil society are jointly responsible for it. This is the only way to combat the related complex and changing threat and maintain in Finland an open society in which diverse groups of people can live peacefully side by side.
