About Book

The International Conference on Terrorist Rehabilitation (ICTR) brought together global experts, policymakers, religious scholars, psychologists, and law enforcement professionals to discuss comprehensive strategies for the rehabilitation and reintegration of former terrorists and extremists. Organized jointly by the International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research (ICPVTR) and the Religious Rehabilitation Group (RRG), the conference emphasized the significance of religious counseling, psychological support, and community reintegration in combating violent extremism. Deliberations focused on practical frameworks for de-radicalization, education-based counter-narratives, and faith-led disengagement programs. Participants examined successful models from Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and Pakistan, and addressed challenges such as recidivism prevention, post-release monitoring, and public perception management. The report synthesizes case studies, key findings, and policy recommendations that advocate a multi-agency, holistic approach—integrating security, rehabilitation, and community trust-building—as a sustainable counterterrorism strategy. This report is highly relevant to the Minhaj Global Rehabilitation & Community Engagement (GRACE) Repository, as it provides international best practices and practical insights into terrorist rehabilitation and faith-based reintegration initiatives. It supports GRACE’s thematic pillars of peacebuilding, counter-extremism, tolerance, and global collaboration through research-driven rehabilitation programs.The ICTR proceedings serve as a cornerstone document for understanding how cross-sectoral partnerships and religious rehabilitation models can effectively counter violent extremism. It is an important reference for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers working in the fields of rehabilitation, interfaith dialogue, and deradicalization.
