The global initiative combats terrorist and violent extremist content on the Internet. 58 states, including Germany, as well as technology companies and civil society organizations have already signed the 2019 agreement.

Ardern launched the initiative together with French President Emmanuel Macron shortly after the bloody attacks in Christchurch. On March 15, 2019, a right-wing extremist shot and killed 51 Muslims in two mosques. The perpetrator put the carefully planned massacre on the internet using a helmet camera. Before that, he had sent a ‘manifesto’ with racist and right-wing extremist slogans by e-mail and put it online.

In the newly created role, Ardern will work closely with France on a voluntary basis, it said. The “Christchurch Call” is a foreign policy priority for the administration, and Ardern is a better fit for the position of special envoy, Hipkins said. Ardern surprisingly announced her retirement in January, saying she didn’t have the strength to continue as prime minister. When she took office in 2017, she was the youngest head of government at the time.
