SUMMARY:International law and the governance of AI-driven military technologies
DESCRIPTION:This innovative two-day training programme\, co-organised with the  This link opens in a new tabStockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) This link opens in a new tab\, will provide you with a deep understanding of military applications of artificial intelligence (AI). It will create a common basis of knowledge around key features of these technologies\, their associated risks and benefits\, and the various regimes of international law relevant to their governance. \n\n\n\nArtificial Intelligence is revolutionising military operations\, driving the development of autonomous weapons systems (AWS)\, decision-support tools (AI-DSS)\, and other advanced warfare technologies. While these innovations advance at a rapid pace and AI offer significant promise for military operations\, they also pose substantial risks\, particularly with regard to compliance with international law. \n\n\n\nTo address these risks\, numerous governance efforts and initiatives have emerged\, with a notable increase\, particularly over the past two years. These efforts seek\, among other things\, to establish prohibitions\, limits\, and requirements for use while building on and reinforcing existing obligations under international law. \n\n\n\nYet\, a lack of an informed understanding of these technologies and how international legal frameworks apply to their development and use is an obstacle to the advancement of governance efforts. \n\n\n\nThis short course aims to contribute to the progress of governance efforts and other initiatives around AI-driven military technologies\, by providing insights and an informed understanding of:   \n\n\n\n\n– AI-driven military technologies\, including AWS and AI-DSS\n\n\n\n– Recent and upcoming developments in AI in the military domain\n\n\n\n– AI-related concepts\, such as predictability\, explainability\, and traceability. These concepts are crucial for policymakers and experts to advance constructive debates. \n\n\n\n– Knowledge of the different regimes of international law that play a role in the governance of AI-driven military technologies\n\n\n\n\nWho can attend? \n\n\n\nThis short course would be valuable for policymakers\, legal advisors\, diplomats and other individuals involved or interested in the development\, use\, governance and adjudication of AI-enabled military technologies.  \n\n\n\nThis short course is organised in collaboration with the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).

SUMMARY:Reducing Risk by Design
DESCRIPTION:Image by Photoyasya on Envato\n\n\n\n\n\nA Roundtable on Unintended Consequences in Humanitarian Work \n\n\n\nJoin us for Reducing Risk by Design\, an interactive roundtable event that explores the real-life and digital threats emerging in a world shaped by rapid decisions\, good intentions—and often\, unintended consequences. \n\n\n\nWhether you work in public service\, business\, technology\, or civil society\, your actions impact people’s lives in ways that aren’t always predictable. This session invites you to step back\, reflect\, and engage with the risks we may unknowingly create—especially for those who are already vulnerable in times of crisis. \n\n\n\nWhat to Expect\n\n\n\nThrough a mix of guided discussion and hands-on exercises\, participants will navigate realistic scenarios where every choice can open a path—or a pitfall. \n\n\n\nYou’ll be challenged to respond to complex situations such as: \n\n\n\n\nInformation leaks in emergency zones\n\n\n\nTech rollouts that exclude or endanger\n\n\n\nPublic policies that unintentionally create new vulnerabilities\n\n\n\n\nTogether\, we’ll map these invisible risks and explore how small\, accessible shifts in thinking and design can lead to safer\, more responsible outcomes. \n\n\n\nWhy Attend\n\n\n\nThis roundtable is not about blame—it’s about awareness\, shared learning\, and action. It’s a space for cross-sector dialogue\, where you can hear diverse perspectives\, share your own\, and leave with tangible ideas to strengthen the safety and impact of your work. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re a policymaker\, technologist\, NGO worker\, business leader\, or engaged citizen\, Risk by Design will challenge you to see risk differently—and empower you to help build systems that: \n\n\n\n\n Protect rather than expose\n\n\n\n Include rather than exclude\n\n\n\n\n Come with your questions.\n\n\n\nLeave with new tools.Let’s rethink how we shape safety in a fragile world.

SUMMARY:Fireside Peace Chat - Civil Society and Peace\, in Sri Lanka and the World
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next edition in the Fireside Peace Chats (FPC) series\, titled “Civil Society and Peace\, in Sri Lanka and the World”. In this session\, we welcome Sweta Velpillay\, a peacebuilding practitioner whose work focuses on creating alternative and equitable forms of global collaboration for peace. Sweta brings extensive experience advising peacebuilding programmes and portfolios for relevance and coherence\, with work spanning countries including Afghanistan\, Bosnia and Herzegovina\, Cambodia\, Ethiopia\, Iraq\, Kenya\, Lebanon\, Myanmar\, Nigeria\, Pakistan\, the Philippines\, South Sudan\, Sri Lanka\, and the UK (Northern Ireland). \n\n\n\nOriginally from Sri Lanka\, Sweta will reflect on her personal journey and evolving understanding of what it means to be part of civil society and committed to peace. Drawing from her current role at the international NGO Conducive Space for Peace\, she will speak about the dilemmas\, tensions\, and questions that have shaped her path in the peacebuilding field. \n\n\n\nThis edition of FPC will be\, as usual\, an open and honest conversation — touching on the situation in Sri Lanka\, the global state of civil society\, and what it truly takes to hold space for peace in today’s world. Sweta’s reflections will be grounded in real-world practice\, and the session will include time for dialogue and shared exploration. \n\n\n\nCome ready to listen\, reflect\, and engage in a meaningful exchange. \n\n\n\nMore About the Speaker: \n\n\n\nSweta Velpillay\, the Co-Director of Conducive Space for Peace (CSP)\, holds 19 years of experience in peacebuilding within fragile contexts grappling with humanitarian and development challenges. Through the years\, she has worked for and with international NGOs\, bilateral donors\, UN agencies\, and local organisations in diverse roles such as conflict advisor\, program manager\, facilitator\, and trainer. At CSP\, she leverages her understanding of the intricate dynamics of the global peacebuilding and aid system\, recognising their limitations in relation to centring local leadership\, towards transformative change of the system. \n\n\n\nModerator: Sever Džigurski \n\n\n\nMore about Fireside Peace Chats \n\n\n\nThe Fireside Peace Chats series is an event series consisting of informal\, intimate chats with peacebuilders who have either lived in for an extended period of time or are from conflict-affected environments.

SUMMARY:KPSRL Closing Event: Celebrate\, Reflect\, Mobilize
DESCRIPTION:For more than a decade\, the Knowledge Platform Security & Rule of Law (KPSRL) has fostered a worldwide network aimed at sharing knowledge and learning across the rich diversity of partners working on international peace and justice. \n\n\n\nKPSRL was established by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in 2012 in support of its policymaking and programming around Security & Rule of Law (SROL). The goal was to foster learning by and among diverse actors in this field\, with a view\, ultimately\, to increasing the responsiveness and effectiveness of SROL policies and programs. \n\n\n\nOn 30 June 2025\, this project is coming to a close. In the run up to this moment\, this in-person closing event provides an opportunity for the Netherlands-based part of the network to reflect on key achievements and insights\, and chart pathways for continued learning in the SROL field. \n\n\n\nObjectives: Celebrate\, Reflect and Mobilize  \n\n\n\n–Celebrate: putting the spotlight on the many great contributions of the KPSRL network over the past years. Highlighting impact on SROL policy and programming\, and foregrounding strong outputs and proud achievements. \n\n\n\n–Reflect: bringing together the KPSRL network around key insights over the past years. Challenge one another on the future and added value of our work in the midst of big SROL shifts and the role learning plays in it. \n\n\n\n–Mobilize: mobilizing the KPSRL network to forge new collaborations and pursue innovative ideas in the spirit of equal partnerships\, aiming for the network to continue to find each other beyond KPSRL’s ending. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\nA more detailed agenda with speakers will follow\, but the main topics and flow of the afternoon are as follows: \n\n\n\n12:00 – 13:00Lunch13:00 – 13:15Opening remarks13:15 – 13:40Opening pitch and Q&A: Dirk Jan Koch (AIV)13:40 – 15:15Panel: Learning landscape in times of urgent action and budget cuts15:15 – 15:45Break15:45 – 17:00Panel: Peace and justice work in times of transactional politics17:00 – 17:15Closing: Presentation Transition Group on findings – opportunities for sustaining the KPSRL network beyond June 2025.17:15 – 19:00Drinks

SUMMARY:“The safe place was the one I left”: Centring mental health in displacement
DESCRIPTION:The end of a war is not the end of the story…   \n\n\n\nJoin us for a conversation inspired by The Lebanon Displacement Diaries This link opens in a new tab\, a participatory journalism project by The New Humanitarian that centres the voices of those uprooted by the recent war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. \n\n\n\nThrough the words of 10 displaced people\, as well as personal photos\, videos\, and illustrations\, the diaries document what it means to flee violence – and how life continues long after the headlines fade. One key takeaway for the team behind the project: the emotional toll of displacement is profound\, and often overlooked. \n\n\n\nTogether with practitioners and researchers involved in mental health\, protection and community-based responses\, the team behind The Lebanon Displacement Diaries will reflect on how the aid sector can better support the emotional and psychosocial needs of those living through prolonged crises – and what meaningful insights the project can bring to humanitarian action in Lebanon and beyond. \n\n\n\nThe event will be moderated by Annie Slemrod\, director and editor\, The Lebanon Displacement Diaries\, Middle East editor\, The New Humanitarian\, who is joined by: \n\n\n\nMona Sawli\, mental health and psychological support field officer in Lebanon\, ICRC \n\n\n\nSarah Mawed\, Gender-based violence protection officer at Danish Refugee Council \n\n\n\nZainab Chamoun\, coordinator\, Lebanon Displacement Diaries\, journalist and researcher \n\n\n\nJasmin Lilian Diab\, director\, Institute for Migration Studies\, Lebanese American University

SUMMARY:Annual Summit 2025 - Democracy at the Crossroad - Cities Take Action
DESCRIPTION:The majority of all humans now live in cities. Cities are superdiverse\, multireligious\, multicultural. It is not easy to find a common identity\, to find the right ways to integrate and equity. \n\n\n\nThe only way is to consult\, discuss\, participate and work together. That is called “democracy” and “citizenship”. \n\n\n\nDemocracy is not only elections. It is a regime with respect and dignity\, with human rights at the center. Democracy respects difference\, gives rights to minorities and individuals\, supports emancipation and freedom. Democracy is not a system\, but a way of life based on tolerance and open minds. Freedom\, Equality and Solidarity: That is what it is about\, and the air of the city makes free! \n\n\n\nDemocratic cities are caring cities. Democratic cities search for empowerment through multilateral governance. Democratic cities are creative and put culture and the arts at the center of urban development. Cities in action deal with planetary challenges in a changing society looking for another imaginary and governance. That is the main challenge for mayors of the world. \n\n\n\n This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:Urban Governance: Resilient and Smart Cities
DESCRIPTION:With the majority of today’s world population living in cities\, cities have become the engines of development and innovation. However\, this urban growth also means that cities are confronted with many of the world’s challenges: poverty and inequality\, migration\, natural disasters\, health crises and the consequences of climate change. Improving urban resilience by applying smart city solutions will enhance the development of inclusive cities capable of coping with present and future challenges. \n\n\n\nThis course discusses frameworks\, strategies and tools to strengthen cities’ resilience: their ability to absorb and recover from internal and external shock\, maintain their essential functions and adapt and thrive in the face of continual change. The course also covers smart city solutions by examining the role data and innovative technologies play in enhancing the efficiency of city systems and ultimately\, urban resilience. Furthermore\, we will explore how to build scenarios for inclusive cities and apply the principle of Leaving No One and No Place Behind\, and we will discuss the ethics of smart city projects\, paying attention to the unintended consequences of adopting smart solutions\, such as the digital divide\, cybersecurity and privacy concerns. Finally\, we will look into how ‘post-COVID’ cities can use technologies to reinforce physical interactions\, shared systems\, services and spaces\, and define the ‘blended cities’ of the future. \n\n\n\nKey Information\n\n\n\nThis course is intended for professionals involved in urban governance and development such as city planners and urban policy makers. Participants come from national\, regional and local governments\, NGOs\, knowledge institutes and donot and development organisations.  \n\n\n\nThe course will take place in The Hague from 09 June 2025 to 20 June 2025. The deadline for applications is . The scholarship application period is from 14 August 2024 to 07 October 2024. \n\n\n\nThe course fee is € 3\,895*. This includes all training related costs as well as drinks and warm lunches during the training days. Group discounts are available if you participate with three or more colleagues. \n\n\n\nThis training takes place in The Hague\, Netherlands. \n\n\n\nAfter this course\, you will receive a professional certificate of completion from The Hague Academy for Local Governance. \n\n\n\n*Professionals working in local government or for local NGOs on the DAC list of ODA-recipient countries (OECD) may qualify for a reduced course fee. Contact us for details. \n\n\n\nLearning objectives\n\n\n\nThis course will help you: \n\n\n\nAssess the vulnerability of cities by using resilience strategies and frameworks; \n\n\n\nDevelop strategies and policies to increase resilience in an inclusive and participatory manner; \n\n\n\nMake use of data and innovative technologies to design smart solutions\, in an ethical and effective way; \n\n\n\nAnd mobilise key stakeholders to establish sustainable partnerships.

SUMMARY:Handbook launch: A guide on extraterritorial and universal jurisdiction to pursue accountability for international crimes in Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Photo by LittleIvan on Envato\n\n\n\n\n\nThe scale and gravity of international crimes committed in Ukraine place them within the purview of the international community and underscore the global imperative to act. While Ukraine bears the primary responsibility to investigate and prosecute crimes committed on its territory\, third States share a broader responsibility to ensure accountability for violations of international humanitarian law. This acute need for international judicial cooperation leverages universal jurisdiction as a vital tool to fill impunity gaps\, bring perpetrators to court\, and achieve justice for victims. With this in mind\, Global Rights Compliance (GRC) has developed a ‘Practitioners’ Handbook on Extraterritorial or Universal Jurisdiction to Pursue Accountability for International Crimes Committed in Ukraine’.  \n\n\n\nThe Practitioners’ Handbook aims to serve as a tool for prosecutors\, investigators and civil society organisations engaged in seeking accountability for international crimes committed in Ukraine by helping them navigate universal jurisdiction laws and practice\, bring cases before relevant domestic authorities and engage in judicial cooperation. \n\n\n\nAvailable in Ukrainian and English and specifically tailored to the Ukrainian context\, the handbook is a unique addition to available universal jurisdiction resources. It includes 13 country profiles\, spotlighting domestic laws and practices most relevant to the investigation and prosecution of international crimes committed in Ukraine\, thus aiming to foster positive complementarity between Ukrainian and foreign judicial authorities. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a panel discussion and reception to mark the launch of the Practitioners’ Handbook. Panellists will discuss the prospects of fostering a complementary approach to accountability for international crimes committed in Ukraine\, ongoing and potential universal jurisdiction proceedings\, and the anticipated use of the Practitioners’ Handbook. Experts and practitioners representing diplomatic\, legal and civil society perspectives will share insights. The panel discussion will be held in a hybrid format (in-person and online) and followed by a reception at the venue. \n\n\n\nThe Practitioners’ Handbook has been developed under GRC’s ‘Support to Ukrainian National Prosecutors and CSOs in Building Strategic Cases under Universal Jurisdiction’ project\, supported by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in partnership with the International Development Law Organization (IDLO)\, T.M.C. Asser Instituut\, Center for International Legal Cooperation (CILC) and Netherlands Helsinki Committee (NHC).
