CONFERENCE RESULTS
The participants of the Fourth International Conference on the Spread of Extremist Ideology in the course of their speeches:
WERE UNITED in the need to preserve peace and stability, to develop relations between countries on the basis of equality, good neighborliness, humanism and justice, to create an environment of intolerance to attempts to destroy traditional social interethnic, interreligious, economic and other ties.
EXPRESSED concern about the growing spread in various regions of the world of such dangerous types of extremism as radical beliefs, racial discrimination, xenophobia and Nazi ideology, which, against the background of the general aggravation of the international situation, especially the expansion of the zones and geography of armed conflicts, inter-religious and inter-ethnic clashes, can lead to catastrophic consequences.
CONSTATED the facts of mass application by extremists of modern information and communication technologies and social engineering methods to introduce their ideas into the mass consciousness of people, the seizure (transfer) by terrorists and criminals of advanced military equipment and means of communication, and their tacit or even open involvement by individual states in the solution of their special and military tasks.
NOTED the inadmissibility of distorting human history, especially in terms of justifying Nazism and falsifying the outcome of the Second World War.
RECOGNIZED the existence in the world of regions where armed conflicts and confrontations have been going on for years, including those provoked from outside in order to preserve the military, ideological and economic influence of a number of states and military-political blocs, as dangerous for world stability.
EMPHASIZED the unacceptability of the revival of the Nazi ideology and the glorification of its followers.

RECOGNIZED the importance of urgently adopting comprehensive international measures to address the causes and conditions conducive to the emergence and spread of extremism, including through concerted information campaigns exposing specific apologists and sponsors of extremism, their subversive aims and methods of activity, to provide the necessary legal, human, material and technical basis for this work, including through the establishment of specialized international organizations and NGOs.
EXPECTED to expand cooperation in countering multi-component extremist cyber threats and to increase the intensity and quality of the exchange of operationally relevant information.
GAVE SPECIAL IMPORTANCE to coordinating the positions of law enforcement, other state bodies, public and religious organizations of the countries interested in preserving the world order and protecting traditional values.
