SUMMARY:Hague Talks - What’s at Stake: How Does Corruption Affect Us?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next edition of the Hague Talks. The event promises interesting stories from around the world. \n\n\n\nMore than 5% of global GDP is lost to corruption every year and now over 50 former heads of state and government\, over 30 Nobel laureates\, nearly 350 notable individuals (including former high court judges\, cabinet ministers\, NGO leaders\, business leaders\, etc.) and almost 100 civil society organisations are calling for the creation of an International Anti-Corruption Court to promote transparency and accountability.But what is (grand) corruption and how does it materialise in our day-to-day life? Who is affected by corruption? And how would “another” international organisation contribute to stopping corruption and promote transparency and accountability? \n\n\n\nCorruption and its consequences may feel far away from the average citizen\, unless you know how corruption may affect your day-to-day circumstances. Ultimately\, corruption can lead to poorer public services\, like healthcare and education\, and makes everything more expensive by increasing the cost of goods and services. It can also harm the economy by discouraging investment and job creation. When institutions\, like the police or courts\, are corrupt\, it becomes harder to get justice\, and trust in democracy is weakened. This can make people feel powerless and less involved in political processes. By extension\, corruption can also come to threaten public safety and national security. \n\n\n\nBy understanding which factors enable how\, when\, and in what shapes or forms corruption materialises\, we believe that anti-corruption can become a collective movement whereby we as engaged citizens can push for fairer systems and better governance. \n\n\n\nWe have invited for this edition of the Hague Talks three speakers to bring the reality of corruption to the audience and answer the questions on our minds. \n\n\n\nWe will hear from seasoned professionals working on national and international corruption capable of explaining why collective efforts\, supported by local stories and experiences\, has the power to effect real change. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\nSophie K. This link opens in a new tab – Managing Director\, III Europe With nearly a decade of leadership experience\, Sophie advocates for justice and integrity\, working towards ending grand corruption.\n\n\n\nInbal Djalovski This link opens in a new tab – Legal Practitioner & Former ICC Lawyer Inbal brings vast expertise in law and investigations\, with focus on the global push for an International Anti-Corruption Court\n\n\n\nCebelihle Mbuyisa This link opens in a new tab – Journalist and activist from Eswatini\, Cebelihle sheds light on stories of state and corporate violence\, and highlighting the impact of corruption on marginalised communities.\n\n\n\nDr. Andrew Bwire Buluma This link opens in a new tab – Governance and Accountability Expert With extensive experience in governance and civil society engagement\, Dr. Buluma will explore the complexities of fighting corruption from a development perspective.\n\n\n\n\nThis edition of Hague Talks will be moderated by Connor Sattely This link opens in a new tab. \n\n\n\nPractical information: \n\n\n\nWhen: October 31 \n\n\n\nTime: 17h – 20h \n\n\n\nWhere: Het Koorenhuis This link opens in a new tab \n\n\n\nTicket Types: Please select your preferred mode of attendance. Should you prefer to attend online\, the livestreaming link will be sent to you in the days prior to the 31st. Follow us on Hague Talks This link opens in a new tab youtube channel. \n\n\n\nAbout the Hague Talks \n\n\n\nHagueTalks is a meeting place for creative minds\, peace inventors and game changers in the field of peace and justice. It is a stage and breeding place for new ideas and perspectives\, a forum for discussion and a starting point for concrete action. \n\n\n\nAt HagueTalks This link opens in a new tab we believe that looking at peace and justice from a variety of angles and perspectives sparks innovative thinking and acting. HagueTalks is convinced that both creative minds from within and beyond the working field of peace and justice can contribute to its dialogue and promotion. \n\n\n\nHague Talks is a joint initiative of the Municipality of the Hague and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This edition is powered by The Hague Humanity Hub and Integrity Initiatives International (III) Europe. \n\n\n\nFor more information and inquiries\, reach out to programming@humanityhub.net \n\n\n\nVideo and Photography Disclaimer: \n\n\n\nPlease note that during Hague Talks events a photographer and/or videographer will be present in order to take picture\, for use by The Hague Humanity Hub and its partners in future marketing efforts.

SUMMARY:Understanding Climate Violence
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging evening as we unpack the who\, where\, what\, and whys of climate-related violence. How is climate change contributing to violence? In a rapidly warming world\, what can be done to stifle the threat of worse hostilities down the line and limit the impact on communities? And\, amid cascading risks\, how is climate security overlapping with other pressing issues\, such as inequality and misinformation? \n\n\n\nJournalist Peter Schwartzstein This link opens in a new tab will share many of the key themes and examples from The Heat and the Fury\, his recently published book and the first in-depth exploration of climate-related violence for the casual reader. He has spent more than a decade documenting how climate stresses are bleeding into violence big and small\, including ISIS’s exploitation of collapsing agricultural conditions to bolster its ranks in Iraq––and the impact of rising seas levels on Bangladeshi piracy. \n\n\n\nThis event\, held in the immediate run up to the next global climate conference\, COP29\, aims to engage a broader audience in discussions about climate security risks\, particularly as they intersect with other critical issues. The audience is invited to ask their pressing questions to the speakers. Speakers will also strive to raise public awareness about what has traditionally been a topic confined to academic and security discussions. By highlighting these connections\, the event above all seeks to foster a more comprehensive understanding of the implications of climate change on global relations. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nPeter Schwartstein \n\n\n\nMore speakers will be announced shortly. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReserve a spot!

SUMMARY:Just Peace Movie Night: All That Breathes
DESCRIPTION:Part of The Hague Climate Week  \n\n\n\nDuring The Hague Climate Week\, in collaboration with Filmhuis and Movies that Matter\, we present the critically acclaimed and Oscar-nominated film All That Breathes. This event is part of the Just Peace Movie Nights series\, a program that brings important issues around peace and justice to the attention of a wide audience through film and storytelling. After the film screening\, we will engage in a conversation with experts on topics such as the rights of nature\, environmental law\, climate justice\, the impact of environmental pollution on biodiversity and the opportunities we as citizens have to take action on this ourselves. \n\n\n\nAbout All That Breathes \n\n\n\nThe documentary follows brothers Saud and Nadeem\, who began caring for injured birds of prey 20 years ago after discovering that the local animal hospital only treated vegetarian birds. Their home is home to dozens of raptors and owls\, mostly black kites. These birds populate the city in large numbers\, and within the Indian Muslim community it is believed that they are capable of eating trouble. New Delhi\, one of the most densely populated and perhaps most polluted cities in the world\, nevertheless buzzes with life. In beautifully filmed scenes\, animals appear in the most unexpected places\, as if they have always belonged there. \n\n\n\nThe brothers describe how life is constantly experimenting and adapting to changing conditions. For example\, birds sing louder to drown out city noise and have discovered that cigarette butts help fight parasites. All That Breathes\, by Indian filmmaker Shaunak Sen\, is an intriguing and layered documentary about the brothers’ rescue efforts in New Delhi\, where both animals and humans struggle with the effects of pollution. With humor and wisdom\, the two Muslim brothers show how everything in nature – from fungi to humans – is interconnected. Although the city is often considered a living organism\, this film makes clear how true that cliché is. \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\nDr. Lorenzo Pellegrini\, a Professor of Economics of Environment and Development at the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS)\n\n\n\nDaniel Eggleston\, a consultant focused on policy\, programming\, and research for IDLO’s Climate Justice portfolio\n\n\n\nJiske van Oeffelt\, World’s Youth for Climate Justice campaigner and expert in Environmental Sciences and nature rights\n\n\n\n\nProgram \n\n\n\nDoors open at 19:00\, and drinks are available in the café. The film screening begins at 19:10 and will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A. After the official program\, we cordially invite attendees to stay for informal networking and drinks. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSign up here!

SUMMARY:Far-right influencers and the platforms that enable them
DESCRIPTION:During this event\, The London Story introduces its recent report which explores the phenomenon of cow vigilantism gone viral. What used to be an isolated phenomenon\, lynching and other violent attacks committed against religious minorities accused of consuming cows or transporting them for consumption\, has now exploded across the online space. Facilitated by social media networking sites that fail to enforce their DOI policies and fuelled by the political weight of local elections\, almost nowhere is this change visible than in the so-called Hindi Belt. \n\n\n\nIn addition to launching its report\, The London Story brings together experts who follow the global trend of far-right influencers\, their rising importance in democracies across the world\, platforms’ inability or unwillingness to execute their community guidelines\, and the real-world consequences of these influencers’ popularity and fame. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReserve a spot!

SUMMARY:T.M.C. Institute: The EU’s 'geopolitical awakening': Beyond trade and defence [Public panel]
DESCRIPTION:The T.M.C. Asser Instituut’s Centre for the Law of EU External Relations (CLEER) and Leiden University are organising a two-day PhD workshop on the legal implications of the EU’s ‘geopolitical awakening’. The event is a follow-up to the successful PhD workshop that took place on 6-7 May 2024 and is organised with the generous financial support of the Municipality of The Hague. \n\n\n\nThe workshop will conclude with a public panel discussion of academics and policy experts at Leiden University College The Hague\, which will discuss the reverberation of the EU’s ‘geopoliticisation’ beyond the issues of trade and defence\, which have already received significant attention. The panel\, therefore\, will focus on ways in which the geopolitical turn affects – or should affect – other domains areas\, such as the environment\, migration\, technology\, enlargement and the EU’s traditional commitment to multilateralism and the rules-based international order in general. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Just Peace Movie Night: YUMI - The Whole World
DESCRIPTION:On November 16th\, in partnership with World’s Youth for Climate Justice and Interactive Media Foundation\, we present YUMI – The Whole World\, a documentary about the crucial work of World’s Youth for Climate Justice and the Pacific Island Students Fighting Climate Change. These young leaders are leading the case for the ICJ Advisory Opinion\, a groundbreaking effort to hold countries accountable for their impact on climate change and protect vulnerable communities. \n\n\n\nThis event is part of the Just Peace Movie Nights series\, a program that brings important issues of peace and justice to a wide audience through film and storytelling. After the film screening\, we will engage in a discussion with experts about themes that come up before in the film. \n\n\n\nThis evening focuses on the ICJAO campaign and the transformative role of youth activism in driving change. You will learn how young advocates are using international legal frameworks to combat climate change and promote climate justice\, emphasizing that the fight for a sustainable future is also a fight for human rights. \n\n\n\nAbout YUMI – The Whole World  \n\n\n\nYUMI tells the inspiring story of law students like Solomon\, Vishal and Romabeth\, who set out from the University of the South Pacific as part of a movement to take climate change to the International Court of Justice through the United Nations to save their home islands from extinction. \n\n\n\nThe three students work their way up from a small university room to the international stage. They learn how to deal with ministers\, ambassadors and commissioners\, experience the frustrations of diplomacy and face the challenges of their ambitious goal: to push through a historic resolution at the United Nations that will legally define the obligations of states to address climate change. \n\n\n\nWill their relentless motivation and the challenging countries they must overcome be enough to convince 97 UN member states to take their case to the world’s highest court? \n\n\n\nSpeakers to be announced soon. \n\n\n\nProgram \n\n\n\nDoors open at 19:00\, and refreshments will be available in the café. The film screening begins at 19:10 and will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A.
