This report documents the proceedings of the 1st Strategic Workshop on Rehabilitation and De-Radicalization of Militants and Extremists, held in Singapore in May 2010. Organized by the FATA Secretariat Capacity Building Project, the workshop brought together policymakers, academics, security practitioners, and rehabilitation experts to discuss frameworks and practical strategies for countering radicalization and reintegrating former militants into society. The content highlights comparative international experiences in de-radicalization, with a focus on Southeast Asia and South Asia. It addresses psychological, social, and political dimensions of rehabilitation, including community engagement, religious re-education, vocational training, and the role of families in preventing re-radicalization. The report also emphasizes capacity-building in institutions tasked with rehabilitation, alongside lessons learned from global case studies.This workshop report provides practical, policy-oriented insights into rehabilitation and de-radicalization strategies. It is highly relevant for research repositories and institutions engaged in counter-extremism and peacebuilding. Its documentation of early regional initiatives makes it historically valuable for understanding the evolution of de-radicalization programs.
