  • Supporting Victims Of Terrorism | Report Of The Invictm Symposium In Stockholm 2018

    In May 19, 2018, INVICTM - International Network Supporting Victims of Terrorism and Mass Violence - held its second international symposium on Supporting Victims of Terrorism in Stockholm, Sweden. This report reflects the discussions held during the symposium. Given the complexities of supporting victims of terrorism, experts recommend a flexible approach to responding to each unique terrorist attack. Years of experience and expertise, however, allow us to identify some common predictable challenges and the practical solutions that can address them. Participants from around the world identified local challenges and practical solutions for supporting victims of terrorism during the symposium.

  • Remembering Victims of Terrorism: A Guidance Document

    Over the past 10 years, Europe has been the target of numerous terrorist threats and attacks, which have not only affected victims and their families, but have also affected society as a whole. In the days after an attack, governments, communities and organisations are involved with the immediate needs of those affected. Spontaneous memorials, usually in the form of flowers and messages, often take place as people feel the need to come together in solidarity and recognition of the victims. However, plans to organise formal commemoration of the attack and its victims will soon be developed: involving different stakeholders with converging needs. This document looks to provide guidelines to support the organisation of remembrance events for victims and thus anticipate challenges that may arise for the organisers.
