1. 防止和打击暴力极端主义已成为当代全球反恐政策和实践的核心和决定性问题。最近一次全面审查防止和打击暴力极端主义政策和做法对促进和保护人权的影响是在 2015 年进行的。1 促使编写本报告的原因是，旨在全球防止和打击暴力极端主义的方案编制工作正在加速、深化和扩大，并在国家、区域和全球各级对人权保护、执行和促进此类方案编制工作产生了可观的影响。在互联网上搜索“防止和打击暴力极端主义”会得到 820 万个结果。防止和打击暴力极端主义的日益标准化的政策和方案在全球得到推广，对于现任任务负责人来说，这在她针对具体国家的实质性工作中已变得显而易见。2 鉴于新出现的做法和趋势，以及国际组织和区域组织在这些政策和方案的构思、制定和执行中发挥的集中作用，本报告是及时和必要的。
1. Preventing and countering violent extremism has become a central and defining dimension of contemporary global counter-terrorism policy and practice. The most recent comprehensive examination of the human rights impact of preventing and countering violent extremism policies and practices on the promotion and protection of human rights was conducted in 2015.1 The present report is prompted by the acceleration, deepening and scale of programming aimed at preventing and countering violent extremism globally and the measurable effects on human rights protection, enforcement and the promotion of such programming at the national, regional and global levels. An Internet search for “preventing and countering violent extremism” provides 8.2 million results. The global expansion and breadth of increasingly standardized policies and programmes aimed at preventing and countering violent extremism2 has become evident to the current mandate holder in her substantive and country-specific work. The present report is timely and necessary, in the light of new and emerging practices and trends, as well as of the centralizing role of international and regional organizations in the conceptualization, creation and delivery of such policies and programmes.
