Overview
One aspect of an effective counter-terrorism strategy involves military intervention and threat monitoring by the intelligence services. ICCT aims to identify key successes and best practices with regards to military interventions. This is done with a focus on how to transform a broad military intervention to a long-term counter-terrorism policy that focuses on alleviating the threat from terrorist groups, reinforcing host nation capacity and addressing some of the causes of radicalisation and violent extremism. The intelligence service plays a large role in monitoring and assessing the threat; ICCT tries to examine how intelligence services can improve counter-terrorism effectiveness.
