A/HRC/62/56 documented accounts explicitly discussing TikTok as a recruitment tool capable of reaching many more people than established far-right platforms.11 The aforementioned Europol report raised serious concerns about the involvement of children and youth in digital communities that promote violence, and that the number of minors and youth engaged in terrorist or violent extremist activities continued to rise across the European Union in 2024.12 39. An example of violent extremist youth network operating at a global scale is a network known as “764,” reportedly established in 2020 and expanded through online platforms. Information suggests that this network specifically targets minors through encrypted applications, employing violent imagery, Nazi symbolism and psychological coercion to incite self-harm and acts of violence. Similarly, the Special Rapporteur has received information regarding the group “No Lives Matter” (NLM), which has reportedly evolved from an online extremist forum, which involves children and young people, into an entity promoting real-world violence. The group is said to disseminate instructional materials related to the execution of violent acts, including terrorist attacks and the construction of explosive devices, while encouraging attacks against racialised groups and migrants. According to available information, violence within these spaces is frequently detached from coherent political objectives and instead becomes performative, competitive and identityforming. Practices such as livestreaming acts of violence, imitation of perpetrators and the gamification of suffering reportedly play a central role in these environments. Authorities have reportedly classified the group as posing a significant terrorist threat. The promotion of accelerationist ideologies 40. Neo-Nazi and other extremist organizations, such as “The Base,” “Atomwaffen Division” and “Feuerkrieg Division”13, reportedly adhere to and promote accelerationist ideologies that frame violence as both inevitable and desirable. The Special Rapporteur notes, however, that in many such networks ideology appears increasingly to function less as a coherent political programme and more as a mechanism for legitimizing violence, glorifying perpetrators and normalizing social conflict. 41. The ideology and activities of these groups reportedly draw substantial ideological inspiration from the historical Nazi Party and explicitly presents itself as a continuation of that tradition. Available information indicates that groups, such as “The Base”, employ symbolism and rhetoric associated with neo-Nazi ideology, including imagery derived from runic iconography historically appropriated by Nazi movements. These groups promote an extremist worldview centered on notions of racial replacement and demographic threat, including narratives portraying immigration, interracial relationships and declining birthrates as existential dangers to the so-called “white race.” 42. Groups adhering to and promoting accelerationist strategies have called for guerrilla violence, acts of sabotage and the incitement of racial conflict intended to generate widespread instability and social breakdown. Such ideologies and tactics pose serious risks to public safety, democratic institutions and the human rights of targeted communities. For example, between 2019 and 2021, law enforcement and security services in the United States, Canada and several European countries reportedly disrupted multiple plots linked to “The Base,” leading to arrests of individuals allegedly involved in plans to carry out assassinations, attacks on infrastructure and acts of violence targeting minority communities. In certain cases, investigations uncovered clandestine training activities involving weapons handling, combat tactics and survival training.
