This VII International Congress of Victims of Terrorism will take place on September 15, 16 and 17 of 2011, in Paris.
We have got one year to prepare it and make it an event as exceptional as the previous editions which took place in Madrid (2004), in Bogota (2005), in Valencia (2006), once again in Madrid (2008), in Medellin (2009) and in Salamanca (2010)
More than 2500 victims of terrorism from different countries took part at these conferences : Algeria, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, France, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Peru, Russia, Rwanda, Spain, United-Kingdom, United States and Uruguay
On this occasion we wish to welcome in Paris victims of terrorism from all over the world and increase the representativeness of the victims from the Middle-East, the Maghreb, Africa and Asia, who are at the present time the most affected by the terrorism areas.
Among the different topics which we would like to tackle in this Congress, there are :
• The impact of a terror attack on the familial environment of the victims, in a short, middle or long term;
• The link between the victims and the society, through the Spanish positive example.
• The fight against terror organizations through the French-Spanish example against ETA.
• Information & vigilance, communication during the hostage-taking, the support of the families during and after and the ex-hostages ;
• The enlistment of young people to justify or to take part in acts of terrorism ;
• The responsibility of the international organizations when their employees become victims of terrorism through the example of the UNO, aimed in Baghdad and Algiers.
