CEP Condemns Attacks Across Paris

Group Calls on G20 Leaders to Create Unified Plan of Action

Following is a statement from CEP CEO Ambassador Mark D. Wallace and President Frances F. Townsend

"The attacks in Paris should serve as a wake-up call for the entire international community to rethink their strategy to defeat ISIS, which remains a threat to all of the free world.

"As world leaders gather this week in Turkey for the G20 summit, their top priority must be a unified plan of action that will wipe these violent extremists off the face of the Earth to ensure the horror of Paris does not become the new normal. They should not leave until they have one"
