The Paris Action Plan, presented during the September 8th, 2015 at International Conference on the Victims of Ethnic and Religious Violence in the Middle East, is intended to address the dramatic situation of persons belonging to communities targeted and threatened for ethnic or religious reasons by Daesh and other terrorist organisations. Beyond the solidarity that must benefit all victims of conflict and violence, there is a pressing necessity to protect and preserve those communities and cultures whose very existence is threatened in Iraq and Syria. Faced with this challenge, the Paris Action Plan will serve as a roadmap for the international community´s response. Participants are encouraged to draw on it to carry out concrete measures, ahead of the follow-up conference, announced for 2016 by the Spanish government. Source : Elysee
