37. 特别报告员感到讶异的是，各国政府公开不力，民间社会不太信任防止和打击暴力极端主义的措施，从政策方案到筹资、影响、科学基础和基准，甚至基础研究，皆是如此。在资金来自外部捐助者的情况下，民间社会受援方往往不愿披露资金来源，因为这可能会影响这些受援方的独立性或其行动的真实意图，或导致目标群体遭受污名或疏远。防止和打击暴力极端主义的方案常常标榜或重新包装为与安全要务无关的方案，给参与支持或资助蓄意欺瞒受援方的方案的联合国实体带来尤为棘手的问题。82 缺乏透明度也会给人一种印象，即防止和打击暴力极端主义是政府安全机关中的另一个工具，而且在社会服务的背后暗藏着情报和警察机构。
37. The Special Rapporteur is struck by the lack of openness of Governments and the lack of civil society trust in measures to prevent and counter violent extremism, from the policies and programmes to their funding, impact, scientific underpinning and benchmarks – and even the underlying research. When funding comes from external donors, civil society recipients are often not keen to disclose the origins of the funds, given that it could have an impact on their independence or the genuineness of their action or stigmatize or alienate targeted populations. Programming on preventing and countering violent extremism is often branded or repackaged programming that is unconnected to security imperatives, raising particularly thorny issues for United Nations entities engaged in supporting or funding programming which is deliberately dishonest to its recipients.82 The lack of transparency can in turn give the impression that preventing and countering violent extremism is yet another tool in a Government’s security arsenal and that behind social services lie intelligence and police agencies.
