SUMMARY:Cartoon Exhibition: Just Speak!
DESCRIPTION:Justice for all can only be reached if we have the freedom to express ourselves in fair and peaceful communities that leave no one behind. A focus on justice is necessary in solving all conflicts. Images have the power to carry a message in a clever\, funny and informing way\, which is exactly what this exposition is about. Ideas about peace and justice from the youngest generation turned into professional cartoons\, created by human rights cartoonists from around the world. \n\n\n\nFrom Monday the 2nd of May until Thursday the 19th of May\, the Atrium in the City Hall hosts the exposition ‘Just speak!’ by The Next Movement. In its essence lies the voice of youth across the world. By means of a competition\, students across both The Hague and the world were asked about their ideas on how to achieve justice in a conflict in their part of the world. What are their thoughts on how to prevent or peacefully resolve this issue? Using their creativity to shape these ideas in the form of a cartoon\, their drawings were shared with the professional cartoonist network from The Next Movement. They chose the best\, most inspiring ideas and turned them into editorial cartoons. \n\n\n\nHague Justice Week \n\n\n\n This exposition is part of the Hague Justice Week 2022\, which takes place from the 30th of May until the 3rd of June. Global peace and justice require global collaboration. During The Hague Justice Week\, actors of all levels come together\, interact and try to find answers to global challenges through the scope of justice. \n\n\n\nVisit the ‘Just speak!’ exposition to see the voice of youth across the world!

SUMMARY:Europe in the world: The emergence of Collective Power Europe?
DESCRIPTION:The seventh Annual T.M.C. Asser Lecture will be held by  Emerita Professor Brigid Laffan\, an internationally recognised expert on the European Union. The title of her lecture is: ‘Europe in the world: The emergence of Collective Power Europe?’. During the 7th Annual T.M.C. Asser Lecture\, Brigid Laffan will analyse the challenges facing Europe in a world of geopolitical shift and shock: \n\n\n\nOn the 24th of February 2022\, the post-war international order ended\, as did the 1989 peace dividend. A major nuclear power Russia\, invaded its neighbour Ukraine\, targeting civilians\, reducing urban centres to a rubble and triggering a major displacement of people in Europe. For the European Union (EU) and the wider community of democracies\, this is a critical juncture with implications for the security and political economy architecture of Europe and the wider world for decades to come. The Russian invasion takes place against the return of hard geopolitics\, Great Power competition and the weakening of multilateral institutions. Over the last decade\, the EU\, a polity but not a state\, has been grappling with its response to new dynamics in global politics. Europe’s search for a role has focused on ill-defined concepts such as strategic autonomy and European sovereignty. The collective EU wants to be a player\, not a plaything but is challenged by the imbalance between its economic power\, diverging preferences of the member states and an inchoate approach to security which relies on NATO and the Transatlantic Alliance. The focus of this lecture is threefold. First\, it explores the response of the EU and the community of democracies to Putin’s war. Second\, it analyses the impact on global politics and Great Power competition and three\, assesses the consequences of the war for the dynamic of European integration and the nature of the EU. \n\n\n\nThis year’s T.M.C. Asser Annual Lecture will take place in the Academy Hall of the Peace Palace\, The Hague\, the Netherlands on Tuesday\, 10 May 20‌22 from 16‌.00 – 17‌.30 hrs CET\, followed by a reception. Registration opens at 15‌.15 hrs CET. \n\n\n\nSeats for the live event will be assigned on a first-come\, first-served basis\, so we kindly ask you to secure your seat in the Peace Palace now. \n\n\n\nIf you wish to watch the Lecture online\, please register here to receive a hyperlink prior to the event.

SUMMARY:(Online) Sustainable Procurement: Key to Greening Humanitarian Responses
DESCRIPTION:A healthy environment is inherently linked to the safety\, security and well-being of refugees\, internally displaced persons\, host communities and societies. In the last decade\, UN agencies\, INGOs and NGOs have started to mainstream environmental sustainability into their strategies\, projects and programs\, and operations; all in line with the environment-related commitments of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \n\n\n\nMost refugees and internally displaced persons (IDP) camps have no access to the electricity grid or energy sources other than biomass. In order to meet the energy needs of the camp population\, humanitarian agencies have been supplying off-grid products such as solar lanterns\, solar street lights and solar home systems. Whilst development objectives aim to be considered in humanitarian response (to support the humanitarian-development-peace nexus approach)\, often\, the humanitarian funding cycle is shorter than the life-cycle of procured products\, and once devices such as solar products have been distributed\, they are often left to the end user to dispose of. Given that many products aren’t designed to be repaired\, this can create a risk to human health(e.g. leaking batteries) and the environment (e.g. contamination of groundwater\, soil and air with carcinogenic compounds) (ESDS\, 2021; PACE &E-waste Coalition\, 2019; UNICEF\, 2020)\, thereby negatively impacting long-term development goals. The unregulated discard of e-waste is among thefastest-growing waste streams in camps and camp-like settings. \n\n\n\nBackground of partnership\n\n\n\nInnovation Norway and IOM are committed to supporting the clean energy transition within humanitarian settings\, to enable greening humanitarian responses (SDG7 & SDG12). The humanitarian sector’s vision of the clean energy transition is articulated through the sector-wide initiative\, the Global Plan of Action for Sustainable Energy in Displacement Settings.  Further\, at the 2016 World Humanitarian Summit IOM committed to the United Nations New Ways of Working and Grand Bargain\, both of which focus on enhanced engagement between humanitarian and development actors. Developing initiatives to green our humanitarian response to deliver on these commitments is crucial moving forward. \n\n\n\nInnovation Norway\, the International Organization for Migration(IOM) and Solvoz have partnered in 2021 to open up the expertise and technical capacity of various stakeholders within the humanitarian sector (private\, academia\, international organizations\, NGOs\, global associations) to address the growing e-waste streams from humanitarian operations through sustainable procurement. \n\n\n\nSustainable procurement\n\n\n\nSustainable procurement will take into account selecting the right products\, and also service aspects (e.g. repair\, recycling) to minimise waste\, extend the lifecycle of products\, and to reduce any final downstream effects of waste disposal from any product to be procured. In summary\, the partnership recognises that greening humanitarian responses start at both technical selections of items as well as procurement decisions including service contracts. \n\n\n\nIn addition\, we are providing detailed technical guidance on products and services\, enabling local service providers to more easily engage with the wider humanitarian sector\, green their procurement\, as well as strengthen the localization of humanitarian procurement.  \n\n\n\nOur approach to sustainable procurement for solar products will be presented during the session\, which is envisaged to be extended beyond solar products in future\, to encompass the energy sector and other electronic devices.  \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\nClaire Barnhoorn – CEO of SolvozYumiko Abe-Soulier – Circularity and Waste Management expert Solvoz and InterActaGemma Arthurson – Global WASH Support Team of International Office of Migration\, IOM GenevaTherese Marie Uppstrøm Pankratov – Senior advisor\, The Humanitarian Innovation Programme\, Innovation Norway

SUMMARY:HagueTalks event: What about the future of warfare?
DESCRIPTION:The wars of today are often seen as different to those half a century ago. Large battles have given to insurgiences\, and technology has allowed operations to be executed at the push of a button. \n\n\n\nFor civilians\, however\, much remains the same. Caught in the middle\, it is often these innocents who suffer the most. At the same time\, we may be seeing ways in which civilians themselves are reshaping the battlefield\, whether it be to resist oppression or to avoid atrocities. \n\n\n\nIn the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine\, #HagueTalks presents a discussion on the role of civilians in times of war. Are they inherently a complication to any conflict? Can they be a help to defenders\, or are they doomed to suffer? Or has warfare really changed that much at all? \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nABOUT SPEAKERS \n\n\n\nJan Tijmen Ninck Blok is a humanitarian legal advisor and will talk about how resistant are the rules of international humanitarian law in the future. Jan is Red Cross adviser on international humanitarian law and fundamental principles. \n\n\n\nLotje Boswinkel is a Strategic Analyst at HCSS. Prior to joining\, she worked as a trainee at the European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS)\, focusing on the Middle East and the future of war. \n\n\n\nRuslana Koropetska is from Ukrainine. She focuses on the topics of misinformation and propaganda during war and how international exhibitions on comics help fight such misinformation. \n\n\n\nEvent moderator is Connor Sattely\, who believes that to solve the global challenges what we need is a special type of crazy person. These people have one foot in technology and one foot in systemic change\, with the savvy to navigate that divide. And the built-in insanity that comes with those who dream about really changing the big picture systems in society. \n\n\n\nThis event is co-organised by the HagueTalksYouth – Youth Board. The Youth Board is a group representing young and engaged members of society. All based in the Hague\, they assist in organising events to help foster growing interest in HagueTalks and ideas concerning peace and justice.

SUMMARY:Stop Putin: Q&A w/ Bill Browder on effective sanctioning in the Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:On March 31\, 2022\, in an unprecedented address to the Dutch parliament Ukrainian president Zelensky thanked the Dutch for leading the effort in support of Ukraine. And yet in the parliamentary debate that followed\, it became apparent that one of the main instruments at our disposal to help the Ukrainians and stop Putin – sanctions – seems to have been grossly unutilized by the Dutch government. In the meantime steps have been taken and some assets have been frozen\, but the question is: is it enough? And what can we learn from this case to stop war\, gross human rights violations and corruption at the source? \n\n\n\nThe NHC would like to invite you to a public debate on the role of the Netherlands in preventing support to war\, human rights violations and corruption\, in the form of a Q&A with Bill Browder\, founder and CEO of Hermitage Capital Management\, and leader of Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign. Browder’s Hermitage Capital Management was the largest foreign investor in Russia until 2005\, when he was denied entry to the country and declared “a threat to national security” for exposing corruption in Russian state-owned companies. \n\n\n\nIn 2008\, Mr. Browder’s lawyer\, Sergei Magnitsky\, uncovered a massive fraud committed by Russian government officials that involved the theft of US $230 million of state taxes. Sergei testified against state officials involved in this fraud and was subsequently arrested\, imprisoned without trial and systematically tortured. He spent a year in prison under horrific detention conditions\, was repeatedly denied medical treatment\, and was killed in prison on November 16\, 2009\, leaving behind a wife and two children. \n\n\n\nSince then\, Mr. Browder has been leading the Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign which seeks to impose targeted visa bans and the freezing of assets of corrupt officials. Bill Browder just published a new book “Freezing Order: A True Story of Russian Money Laundering\, State-Sponsored Murder\, and Surviving Vladimir Putin’s Wrath” \n\n\n\nJoin us on 12 May for a Q&A with Bill Browder on the topic of effective sanctioning and learn more about how to stop supporting individuals and regimes that are involved in human rights violations and corruption. The session will be moderated by Kirsten Meijer\, the Executive Director of the Netherlands Helsinki Committee\, with Sangeeta Goswami (Policy Advocacy Adviser and Communications Manager Human Security Collective) as responder.

SUMMARY:P2P Facilitation: Facilitating Uncomfortable Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Register This link opens in a new tab\n\n\n\n\nThe Humanity Hub is pleased to bring together its members in regular peer-to-peer (P2P) groups\, centered around the theme of facilitation. These are informal opportunities to find one other\, foster collaboration\, and share knowledge and ideas among those working on common goals. \n\n\n\n— \n\n\n\nThis month’s group will be facilitated by Kelly Buis and Matt Barnaby\, from ImpactBasis\, looking at the challenging topic of ‘facilitating uncomfortable conversations’. \n\n\n\nDo you ever admire someone for making a courageous decision? Good news – everyone can train their courage muscle! One of the steps in doing so is to engage in difficult and uncomfortable conversations\, even if avoiding them seems a way more attractive choice.  \n\n\n\nFor us as facilitators this brings up the question: What is the best way to guide these conversations? In this P2P we will explore alternative structures to facilitate meetings and conversations\, called liberating structures. Advocates argue that liberating structures lead to more innovation\, inclusion\, participation\, clarity\, purpose and fun. \n\n\n\nWe have all experienced managed discussions\, open discussions and brainstorms. Are these the right tools to do so? In this P2P we will explore alternative structures to facilitate meetings and conversations: liberating structures. We are looking forward to exploring together!

SUMMARY:(Online) 'To the uttermost parts of the earth': A discussion with author Martti Koskenniemi
DESCRIPTION:On May 19\, 2022\, the Asser Institute welcomes Martti Koskenniemi\, professor of international law (University of Helsinki)\, and Director of the Erik Castrén Institute of International Law and Human Rights\, for a discussion of his latest book\, ‘To the uttermost parts of the earth’: Legal imagination and international power 1300-1870 (Cambridge University Press\, 2021). \n\n\n\nHe will be joined by Academic Director Janne Nijman (Asser Institute) and León Castellanos-Jankiewicz (Asser Institute) with opening remarks by Geoff Gordon (Asser Institute). \n\n\n\nAbout To the uttermost parts of the earth – Legal imagination and international power  In his most recent work\, Martti Koskenniemi\, who delivered the 2018 Annual T.M.C. Asser Lecture\, shows how legal imagination has played a pivotal role in the formation of international law and the structures underlying its authority. \n\n\n\nThe book tracks the rise of modern European statehood through the ideas of sovereignty and property rights\, and explains how they were harnessed to deploy and consolidate European empires overseas. \n\n\n\nThe work serves as a prequel to the author’s The gentle civilizer of nations: The rise and fall of international law 1870-1960 published in 2001\, which renewed scholarly interest in the history of international law as a distinct academic field among historians\, lawyers and political theorists alike.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Palestine and the ICC Paralysis: Is Justice still Possible for Palestinians?
DESCRIPTION:Chair: Triestino Mariniello (Legal Team for Gaza Victims)  \n\n\n\nConfirmed speakers: \n\n\n\nRaji Sourani (Director – PCHR)Roger Waters (Musician and Co-Founder of Pink Floyd)Susan Akram (Professor – Boston University)Shawan Jabareen (General Director – Al-Haq)Delphine Carlens (Head International Justice Desk – FIDH)Issam Younis (Director of Al Mezan Center for Human Rights)\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter many years of endeavours to get access to justice\, Palestinian civil society and victims welcomed the Prosecutor’s announcement that there was sufficient evidence proving the commission of war crimes in the territory of Palestine. However\, seven years since the beginning of the preliminary investigation and more than a year after the opening of a full-fledged investigation\, no concrete steps have been taken by the Court to put an end to the ‘impunity crisis’ in the Israeli-Palestinian setting. While the ICC has recently proved that it is capable of a prompt reaction over serious and urgent situations\, the Office of the Prosecutor’s seeming reluctance to select cases in the Palestine situation gives rise to a serious concern about a practice of double standards. \n\n\n\nThe present event brings together Palestinian NGOs senior officers\, scholars\, and artists to shed light on the on-going perpetration of serious violations of Palestinians’ fundamental rights and publicly denounce the lack of effective measures taken by the Court in one of the most documented situations for the commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The public event aims to call upon all stakeholders to invite the Prosecutor to ensure that accountability in Palestine is pursued without any further delay. \n\n\n\nThe organization of this event has been financially supported by Bertha Foundation.

SUMMARY:(Online) Scenarios for the future: the impact of the war in Ukraine on global food security
DESCRIPTION:Humanitarian and development organizations feel an urgent need to better understand the potential impacts of the war in Ukraine on food security\, particularly in fragile and low-income countries. \n\n\n\nPreparing for possible scenarios\n\n\n\nWageningen University & Research\, in cooperation with KUNO\, the Netherlands Food Partnership and eight international NGOs\, has developed four possible scenarios that describe the potential impact of the Ukraine war on food security in fragile contexts. This was done with the aim to provide insights in the possible implications of the Ukraine war on the work of humanitarian and development organizations.  \n\n\n\nThese scenarios challenge us as organisations to anticipate and be proactive. Now\, due to the interconnectivity of the global food system\, this is especially urgent. This webinar will seek to address the questions: \n\n\n\nHow can humanitarian and development agents of change interpret these scenarios\, and what do we need to do now to be ready for these futures?Moving forward\, what can we do within our own mandates to steer toward the future we would like to see?\n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\nSpeakers and building blocks:  \n\n\n\nPresentation of the scenarios and the reasoning behind it: Herman Brouwer & Just Dengerink (Centre for Development Innovation\, Wageningen University & Research).The relevance of the scenarios for humanitarian practice and development cooperation\, both from the Global North and Global South (speakers to be confirmed).Open discussion.\n\n\n\nThe webinar will be moderated by KUNO and NFP.

SUMMARY:(Online) A Conversation with Hugo Slim: Warfare\, Civilians and Humanitarians in the Twenty-First Century
DESCRIPTION:In his new book ‘Solferino 21: Warfare\, Civilians and Humanitarians in the Twenty-First Century’\, Hugo Slim looks at warfare and humanitarian aid as it is today and as it is likely to evolve in the next ten years. Slim argues that humanitarian aid has become increasingly ambitious\, complicated\, expensive and utopian\, and that humanitarians must adapt or risk failing on their core mission of saving lives. One key aspect of next generation warfare and the ways in which humanitarians may rise to the challenges facing us is the role of data and technology in crises. \n\n\n\nThe OCHA Centre for Humanitarian Data is hosting a conversation with Slim to unpack the key challenges he identifies in his book and explore how they relate to the way humanitarians can use data and technology to deliver better\, simpler aid to populations in crisis. \n\n\n\nThe conversation will explore the following questions: \n\n\n\nWhat are the trends shaping next generation warfare and how will these trends change the way civilians and humanitarians experience and respond to crises?How has the assessment of humanitarian need evolved and what are the implications for humanitarian response in an increasingly digitized world?What are the major ethical concerns around integrating new technology and data science (especially artificial intelligence and automation) into humanitarian action?How might humanitarians ensure meaningful ethical deliberation on the use of data and technology as they respond to increasingly complex crises?\n\n\n\nYour host is Stuart Campo\, Data Responsibility Lead at the Centre for Humanitarian Data.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sanctions as the Go-To-Tool: Do They Work and What Role For International Law?
DESCRIPTION:Spring Meeting Of The Royal Netherlands Society Of International Law \n\n\n\nAlready before the Russian aggression against Ukraine the stalemate in the UN SecurityCouncil increasingly led to a wave of unilateral sanctions. Economic sanctions may seem tohave become the instrument of choice to deal with international crises\, but the role of the UNSecurity Council has diminished.Prof. Peter van Bergeijk (Erasmus University) and Prof. Larissa van den Herik (LeidenUniversity) put the expanding sanctions practice into the perspectives of internationalrelations and international law.Do sanctions work at all? What drives their success and failure? Why is coordination ofsanctions so difficult? Should international law have a more prominent role in governingsanctions?Importantly\, although targeted sanctions remain very present on the sanctions’ menu\, thereis again a trend towards the recomprehensivation of sanctions\, a return to the morecomprehensive sanctions of before. What is the future of the sanction instrument?The speakers will each give a presentation of 20 minutes\, followed by the opportunity to askquestions and a discussion. \n\n\n\nDate and time: Tuesday 24 May 2022\, from 16.00-18.00Location: The Humanity Hub\, Fluwelen Burgwal 58\, 2511 CJ\, The Hague\, or online via Zoom \n\n\n\nRegistration: Please send an email to contact@knvir.org by 19 May 2022 indicating whetheryou would like to attend the meeting in person or online. If you are attending via Zoom\, thelink will be sent to the email you use for registration\, unless you indicate otherwise. \n\n\n\nFor questions\, please contact the Secretary via board@knvir.org.

Its founders\, Natalya Julfakyan and Khachatur Julfakyan started their venture in Saudi Arabia\, but move to the Netherlands this April.

SUMMARY:HagueTalks Event: Resilience. Stories of Women Standing Up for Justice
DESCRIPTION:Women and girls are at the forefront of transformative action for justice\, building a world that works better for everyone. Societies with higher levels of gender equality are also characterised by less deforestation and air pollution\, lower levels of conflict\, and improved health of communities.

In this HagueTalks\, three women on the frontlines for justice will tell their personal stories of defending freedom of speech\, fighting climate in justice\, and tackling gender-based violence. \n\n\n\nThis HagueTalks event will take place during the Hague Justice Week 2022 This link opens in a new tab and is part of the World Justice Forum “offsite sessions” program. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \n\n\n\nCamila de la Fuente (Camdelafu) from Mexico will speak about online harassment.
