Founded in 1988 in the Basque Country to fight ETA’s terrorism through words, the Victims of Terrorism Collective, COVITE, is an organization dedicated to the fight against terrorism and the prevention of violent radicalization. Among Spanish victims associations, only COVITE has the “special consultative status” at United Nations (UN). The Collective carries out its work in Spain and outside Spanish borders and focuses on three key areas: activism, dialogue and research.
