Peace starts with trust and inclusion, and begins in communities. 

Pleased to see faith-based leaders across Asia at the regional dialogue on preventing violent extremism, working together with @EUinThailand @UNODC to advance collective action for peaceful & resilient societies.

[UNDP Thailand @UNDPThailand]

On International Day for Countering Hate Speech, we're reminded that preventing hate speech requires action from all of society.

In Thailand, with @UNDPEU, we empower faith-based leaders as agents of change, promoting digital & AI literacy to strengthen social cohesion.#NoToHate

[UNDP in Asia and the Pacific @UNDPasiapac]

The EU-funded UNODC–UNDP regional programme on “Supporting Asian countries’ resilience to violent extremism in the digital space” is strengthening digital literacy, countering online radicalisation, and promoting rights-based prevention across Asia.

In Thailand, this includes training 60+ journalists and a digital campaign ahead of the 2026 elections that has reached 200,000 people so far.

Preventing violent extremism online requires collaboration, awareness, and sustained engagement.

“The European Union remains a steadfast partner in #PreventingViolentExtremism in the #DigitalSpace in Asia,” says Andreas Roettger of @EUinThailand at the launch of a new project by @UNODC and @UNDP, funded by the EU.

[UNDP in Asia and the Pacific @UNDPasiapac]

Violent extremism poses a significant security & dvt. challenge across Asia and beyond. Influenced by ideology, inequality, misinformation & hate speech, it undermines stability & progress.

@UNDP & @UNODC, with EU 🇪🇺 support, launched a 3-year initiative to build digital resilience against violent extremism-especially among, by, and for youth.

Deeply concerned by reports of death threats & online attacks against Angkhana Neelapaijit, Senator, former NHRC Commissioner & WHRD in #Thailand. Defending truth, justice & dignity is not a crime. She must be protected, not vilified. #WHRD #HumanRightsDefenders @ThaimissionGVA
