SUMMARY:[Colloquium] Securing (the minds) behind the quantum dream?
DESCRIPTION:Quantum innovation faces major engineering hurdles in translating quantum science into quantum technologies that can scale up and commercialise. The key to unlocking quantum ambitions is the coming together of scientific expertise\, engineering acumen and commercial savviness. \nAchieving these ambitions has sparked intense global competition for talent and expertise. Governments and institutions are responding by developing rules to protect sensitive research and technologies – a concept known as “knowledge security.” In light of the proposed Dutch Knowledge Security Screening Bill (tabled for early 2027) and the recent EU Quantum Strategy (July 2025)\, this talk explores on what “knowledge security” means for the pursuit of quantum innovation. \nSpeakers:\nAnh Nguyen is a PhD researcher in the Law and Governance of Quantum Technologies research group within the Institute for Information Law (IViR) at the University of Amsterdam. Her PhD looks at how legal dynamics play out in the emergence of quantum innovation value chains. The project delves into the role of law in the ring-fencing of access to material resources\, the politics of knowledge production\, and value appropriation from techno-scientific research in quantum innovation. \nProf. Dr Machiko Kanetake is the academic director and the chair of the executive board of the T.M.C. Asser Instituut. She is also Professor of International Law and Security Governance at the University of Amsterdam. \nHer groundbreaking research explores the intersection of international law\, security\, human rights\, and technology\, with a focus on sanctions\, arms and dual-use export control at the international\, EU\, and national levels\, and the regulation of surveillance technologies. Her current work centres on “research security” in Europe. \n	Register

SUMMARY:From Surveillance to Empowerment: Advancing the Responsible Use of Technology in Alternatives to Detention
DESCRIPTION:Governments are increasingly turning to digital technologies such as GPS ankle monitors and tracking apps as so-called “alternatives to detention.” But a new report from UNSW Sydney’s Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law\, the International Detention Coalition and the Refugee Law Lab shows these tools too often replicate detention in digital form\, restricting liberty\, undermining dignity and causing real harm for people on the move. \nThis launch will present the findings of our global study and introduce 10 Guiding Principles for ensuring technology reduces\, rather than expands\, detention. \nJoin us to explore how governments\, civil society and technologists can move towards genuine rights-based alternatives that promote freedom\, dignity and community integration. \n	Register here This link opens in a new tab\n	\nWith thanks to the Global Migration Centre at the Graduate Institute of Geneva for kindly hosting this event\, and to Robert Bosch Stiftung for its generous support for this project.

SUMMARY:Better Safe Than Sorry: Early-warning and action to defend civic space
DESCRIPTION:Democracy and civic space are under threat in many parts of the world. How can we recognise these trends early and respond effectively? Which actions\, proposals\, or statements should raise our concern\, and how can civil society – and others – defend fundamental rights and freedoms? \nJoin us for the launch of a new report that compiles academic evidence on early democratic recession and the vital\, yet fragile\, role of civil counterpower. The report provides a practical framework and key indicators for analysis and action. \nWe will also hear from democracy defenders from Poland\, the Netherlands and Italy\, who will share what strategies are (and are not) effective. Together\, we will explore how we can strengthen each other’s efforts to safeguard democracy. \n\nHost:\nBarbara van Paassen\, co-author of the report “Against democratic recession: Recognizing suppression of civil counterpower” and independent consultant and facilitator \n\nExperts:\n\nMargit van Wessel\, co-author of the report and Associate Professor at Wageningen University (Netherlands)\nMałgorzata Szuleka\, Helsinki Foundation For Human Rights (Poland)\nFederica Vinci\, D-Hub (Italy)\nJasmijn Haak Wegman\, De Goede Zaak (Netherlands)\n\n  \n	Register here This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:Just Peace Dialogue: Stemmen uit de stad
DESCRIPTION:Dit is een Nederlandstalig evenement/This event will be held in Dutch. \nDe wereld verandert snel\, en daarmee ook de manier waarop we samenleven. Verkiezingen komen eraan\, en dat zal ook zijn gevolgen hebben voor Den Haag. Democratische instituties\, internationaal recht\, het maatschappelijk middenveld en mensenrechten staan wereldwijd – en in toenemende mate ook in Nederland – onder druk. Vrijheden en rechten worden beproefd en tegelijkertijd neemt de polarisatie in onze samenleving toe.  Daardoor lijkt het soms makkelijker om in tegenstellingen te denken. Juist om die reden neemt de behoefte aan verbinding en samenwerking toe. Niet afwachten\, maar zelf het initiatief nemen. Dit brengt ons bij de onvermijdelijke vraag: Wat kunnen wij als burgers doen? \n  \nTijdens deze Just Peace Dialoog\, in samenwerking met Oxfam Novib\, gaan bewoners van Den Haag – van studenten en buurtorganisatoren tot activisten en beleidsmakers – met elkaar in gesprek over hoe we onze stem laten horen\, onze waarden uitdragen en samen verandering in gang zetten. Daarbij onderzoeken we thema’s als: \n  \nWelke druk ervaren we vandaag en hoe is dat in de afgelopen jaren veranderd? Kunnen we daar samen iets aan doen?  \nHoe werkt polarisatie\, wat kan ertegenover staan\, en hoe gaan we om met meningsverschillen zonder de dialoog te verliezen?  \nWat gebeurt er als we protesteren en wat werkt wel of niet bij het creëren van maatschappelijke bewustwording?  \nHoe organiseren we ons effectief op een kleinere\, lokale schaal?  \n  \nWe verkennen hoe lokale initiatieven in de politieke stad Den Haag en daarbuiten bijdragen aan een hechtere en veerkrachtige samenleving. Hoe we verbondenheid en vertrouwen kunnen versterken. En hoe iedereen\, vanuit zijn of haar eigen plek\, kan bijdragen aan een échte Stad van Vrede en Recht. \n  \nTijdens deze dialoog gaan we in gesprek met een panel van experts en betrokken burgers op het gebied van burgerparticipatie en sociale veerkracht. Manon Tiessink (Coalitie Schilderswijk)\, Yussuf Abdi (Hijaz Community) en Fakiha Ahmed (Oxfam Novib) komen hun inzichten en expertise met ons delen. Daarna wordt het gesprek opengesteld voor iedereen: van activisten en maatschappelijke organisaties tot journalisten\, beleidsmakers\, onderzoekers\, jongeren en betrokken burgers. De kracht ligt juist in een respectvolle en open uitwisseling van verschillende perspectieven\, die kan leiden tot meer wederzijds begrip en het ontstaan van nieuwe oplossingen. \n  \n	Hier registreren This link opens in a new tab\n	\n  \nOver de sprekers\nManon Tiessink\n \nManon woont en werkt in de beruchte maar zeer geliefde Schilderswijk in Den Haag. Ze begon als vrijwilliger\, maar omarmde al snel radicale participatie: het beheren van gemeenschapsruimtes\, het herverdelen van middelen en het vormgeven van besluiten. Van het samen met bewoners beheren van buurthuizen en tuinen\, tot het opbouwen van een grassroots-coalitie in de Schilderswijk en het oprichten van een wijkcoöperatie — zij zet zich volledig in voor gemeenschapskracht en verandering van onderop. \n\nFakiha Ahmed\n \nFakiha Ahmed is expert burgerrechten bij Oxfam Novib. Met een achtergrond in Peace and Conflict Studies en met ruime ervaring bij internationale organisaties\, richt zij zich op mensenrechten en gelijkheid\, en brengt beleid en maatschappelijke dialoog samen om verandering te bevorderen. \n\nYussuf Abdi\n \nJurist en oprichter van Abdi Juristen en Lotus Legal BV. Actief in de Hijaz-gemeenschap in Den Haag\, waar hij recht en compassie verbindt. Gelooft dat echte vrede begint bij rechtvaardigheid in het dagelijks leven. \n  \n  \nJust Peace Open Dag 2025\nDen Haag staat wereldwijd bekend als de ‘Internationale Stad van Vrede & Recht’\, en bijna elk monumentaal gebouw in de stad speelt een rol in het bouwen aan een rechtvaardiger en vreedzamer wereld. \n  \nVan het Vredespaleis tot het Internationaal Strafhof\, van het Internationaal Strafhof van de VN tot het Nationaal Monument Oranjehotel\, de straten van Den Haag ademen geschiedenis! Maar wat gebeurt er eigenlijk elke dag achter die grote deuren? En hoe helpen mensen die in Den Haag werken de wereld beter en eerlijker te maken? Daarom is er de Just Peace Open Dag om daar achter te komen! \n  \nVoor één speciale zondag\, rond de Internationale Dag van de Vrede\, in september openen Just Peace Den Haag en meer dan 20 partners hun deuren voor jou om een kijkje achter de schermen te nemen en verhalen te horen van de mensen en de geschiedenis van elke instelling. \n  \nPrivacyverklaring\nThe Hague Humanity Hub verzamelt je naam\, e-mailadres en (indien opgegeven) je organisatie wanneer je je registreert voor evenementen.

SUMMARY:[Film screening] Hidden life: Testimonies of Venezuelans in Aruba and Curaçao
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a free screening of the film Hidden Life (2025) by Martin Maat and Hans Hermans\, followed by a panel talk and networking event. This event is co-organised with UNHCR\, the UN Refugee Agency\, and will take place at the Asser Institute on Sunday 21 September.  \n \nHidden Life is the story of the estimated 23\,000 Venezuelans on Aruba and Curaçao\, who fled due to the crisis in their home country. Although both Caribbean islands are part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands\, they do not have a formal asylum procedure – unlike the Netherlands itself. \nCuraçao has not signed the UN Refugee Convention\, and UNHCR is not aware of any Venezuelans who have been granted refugee status on the islands. This means that refugees there end up in a legal vacuum\, without access to legal employment or healthcare. \n	REGISTER This link opens in a new tab\n	\n  \nWhat impact does it have on your life if you cannot claim asylum as a refugee?\nIn this documentary\, nine Venezuelan refugees from all walks of life speak openly for the first time about their lives in the shadows\, in the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. \nFrom a deserted soldier to a bricklayer\, and from a catering entrepreneur to an education specialist\, they talk about their dangerous journey across the sea\, their time in the detention centre on Curaçao\, the lack of access to medical care\, exploitation by employers\, and the constant fear of deportation to Venezuela. All the main characters have one thing in common: they have not seen their families in Venezuela for years. \nHidden Life premiered in March 2025 at the Movies that Matter Festival in The Hague. \n  \nThe panel\nFollowing the screening\, there will be a discussion with a diverse panel featuring: \n\nJean-Nicolas Beuze (UNHCR representative for the EU\, Belgium\, Ireland\, Luxembourg\, and the Netherlands)\nProf Dr Ernst Hirsch Ballin\, professor emeritus of human rights law (University of Amsterdam) and constitutional law (Tilburg University); former president of the executive board of the Asser Institute\nHans Hermans\, co-producer and co-director of Hidden Life\, ICU documentaries\nDr Narin Idriz\, senior researcher at the Asser Institute\n\nThis event will be moderated by journalist and programme maker Nadia Moussaid. \nThey will discuss the film and the broader context\, and you are invited to take part in the conversation during the Q&A session and the networking reception. \n  \nProgramme\n\n14.00: Walk in and registration (with coffee and tea)\n15.00: Welcome and introduction\n15.05 Screening Hidden Life\n16.15-16.45: Panel discussion\n16.45-17.00: Q&A with the audience\n17.00-18.00: Networking reception\n\n	REGISTER This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:Training of Trainers
DESCRIPTION:Introduction\nDesigning and delivering training in international contexts presents unique challenges. Trainers work with diverse groups with varying experience\, cultural backgrounds\, and expectations. This requires a flexible\, inclusive approach. In our Training of Trainers course\, we explore these challenges and provide practical strategies to address them. \nWe cover the full training cycle – from needs assessment to design\, delivery\, and evaluation – to ensure your programmes are strategic and action-oriented. You will learn to balance knowledge\, skills\, and awareness to create sessions that resonate across contexts. \nYou will gain hands-on experience with adult training methods such as participatory facilitation\, experiential learning\, group work\, role-plays\, case studies\, and peer coaching. These techniques encourage reflection\, dialogue\, and real-world application. \nWe address challenges in multicultural settings\, including communication styles\, power dynamics\, and resistance to change. You will learn to foster safe\, inclusive learning environments\, manage difficult conversations\, and adapt content to local realities. \nFinally\, we equip you with tools to translate learning into action—setting clear objectives\, integrating action planning\, and ensuring follow-up for sustainable impact. \n  \nKey Information\nThis course is ideal for staff involved in organising and delivering trainings and workshops\, including trainers\, programme managers\, capacity-strengthening specialists\, and HR professionals from donors\, NGOs\, governments\, CSOs\, universities and businesses working in international settings. \nThe course fee is € 1.895. Group discounts are available if you participate with three or more colleagues. \nAfter this course\, you will receive a professional certificate of completion from The Hague Academy for Local Governance. \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.

SUMMARY:Ukraine: Just Peace – Documentary Screening & Discussion with Anya Neistat
DESCRIPTION:International law is under pressure\, and impunity is on the rise. \nFrom Ukraine and Afghanistan to Iraq and Palestine\, international crimes and grave human rights violations continue to test the limits of global justice. Too often\, perpetrators escape accountability while survivors are left fighting to have their voices heard. \nBut change is happening. Across the Netherlands and beyond\, survivors are boldly demanding justice\, accountability\, and redress. Many are taking legal action to confront the harm they or their families have endured. With the support of civil society actors like The Nuhanovic Foundation\, national courts including those in the Netherlands are increasingly stepping up to provide survivors with a platform to pursue justice! \nAt this pivotal moment\, we are thrilled to invite you to the first Justice Dialogue of our campaign\, Justice: From War to Democracy and Freedom. This series is designed to ignite vital conversations about accountability\, bringing together survivor voices\, legal experts\, and affected communities and connecting them to the wider public. \n  \nUkraine: Just Peace\nCommemorating the International Day of Peace\, our first Justice Dialogue event will feature the documentary The Cranes Call. The film follows Dr. Anya Neistat and Solomiia Stasiv as they gather evidence of human rights abuses in Ukraine\, fighting to hold Russian commanders and soldiers accountable. \nFollowing the screening\, join a panel discussion with Dr. Anya Neistat\, survivors\, members of the Ukraine Legal Network\, and the wider Ukrainian community in the Netherlands. Together\, we will explore the prospects for justice and accountability\, the critical role of survivors in shaping these processes\, and what a truly “just peace” could mean for Ukraine. \nThis dialogue drives home a powerful truth: peace without justice cannot last. Justice for Ukraine is not just an international goal\, it is a responsibility we share here in the Netherlands. \n  \nTime & Agenda\nDoors open: 16:30\nScreening: 17:00 – 18:30\nShort panel discussion: 18:30 – 19:15\nDrinks & networking: 19:15 – 20:00 \n  \nLanguage\nEnglish (with limited Ukrainian translation) \n  \n	Register Now This link opens in a new tab\n	\n  \nDue to a limited availability of 100 seats for the documentary screening\, we encourage early registrations. \nThis event is free to attend\, but we strongly encourage donations. \nYour support fuels our campaign Justice: From War to Democracy and Freedom and our litigation fund\, helping survivors of international crimes pursue justice and accountability. Even a small gift makes a difference\, covering legal costs\, amplifying survivor voices\, and keeping this vital work alive. \nDonate now to stand with survivors! \nThe Nuhanovic Foundation has ANBI (tax exempt) status.

SUMMARY:The Humanitarian Reset and its implications for the Dutch humanitarian field
DESCRIPTION:This meeting is under Chatham House Rule. \n  \nAbout the event\nDriven by shifting power dynamics\, the global order is becoming increasingly multi-polar. The multilateral order is eroding\, and there is a growing disregard for international humanitarian law and human rights. Funding for humanitarian action is confronted with drastic cuts after 15 years of upward financing. The withdrawal of USAID funding was a major case in point. It does\, however\, not stand alone and rather fits a broader trend amongst – most Western – donors. \nThese trends have serious consequences for people affected by crises. Numerous local NGOs have had to shut down their operations\, and thousands of layoffs at the UN and at (i)NGOs have led to direct negative consequences in the delivery of humanitarian action. As an effort to address the humanitarian field’s crisis of funding and legitimacy\, sparked by the sudden demise of USAID\, Tom Fletcher – UN OCHA’s Emergency Relief Coordinator – launched the ‘Humanitarian Reset’\, a policy reform agenda. This agenda\, calling for a drastic shift in the UN-coordinated/led humanitarian system\, is presently taking shape through prioritisation of responses\, policy dialogues and consultations. It triggers debate across the humanitarian system. While details are still to be determined\, the Reset’s expected impact on the Dutch humanitarian field will be significant. \nAgainst this backdrop\, KUNO invites policymakers and humanitarian practitioners for a meeting to unpack the reset\, to review the latest developments\, assess their implications\, and consider possible responses. \nPlease find the concept note with more details \n  \nSpeakers\n\nMervat Shelbaya\, Head of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC)\nSven van den Berg\, Head of Humanitarian Aid at the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs\nNolan Roffelsen\, Representative of Platform for Humanitarian Action in the Netherlands\nRepresentative of NEAR (tbc)\n\n  \n	Register here This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:Multilevel Water Governance
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Ermir Hoxhaj on Unsplash \nIntroduction\nThe world is facing many water-related challenges\, including shortages\, pollution\, flooding\, and unequal access to safe drinking water. Climate change is making these problems worse\, threatening people’s safety\, economies\, and the environment.

SUMMARY:The Future of Solidarity-Based Partnerships with Universities in a Declining Development Sector
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Hague Humanity Hub on October 1\, 2025\, to explore innovative solutions for sustainable partnerships. \nLet’s discuss how collaboration can drive positive change in a changing world. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and be part of the conversation! \nThe global development sector is facing a significant decline in funding\, with development budgets plummeting since early 2025\, directly impacting on activists\, practitioners and researchers in human rights\, humanitarian aid and related fields. This requires a critical re-evaluation of global power dynamics and funding flows\, as well as the creation of new partnerships between knowledge institutions\, societal partners\, and the private sector. \n  \nThis event will bring together practitioners\, researchers and students to discuss the following questions: \n\nWhat have been the main changes in the development sector in 2025 and how has the field responded?\nHow can new partners and funding flows best be identified and what opportunities arise to re-align power imbalances in the aid system?\nWhat is the role of universities and other knowledge institutes in establishing or enhancing solidarity-based partnerships with the field?\nHow can these partnerships take shape and be made equitable and inclusive of local knowledge and priorities?\n\nThis event is the result of a partnership between Ethnographic Impact Lab (VU Amsterdam) in collaboration with The Hague Humanity Hub and the Institute for Social Studies. \n  \nGet to know the Speakers:\nHan Valk (HVFC International)\nCorinne Lamain (KUNO)\nKaira Zoe Alburo Cañete (The Hague Humanitarian Studies Centre\, ISS)\nFlávio Eiró & Maaike Matelski (VU Anthropology\, Ethnographic Impact Lab)\nMarie Htet Oo Wai (NIMD)\nNathaniel Amoh Boateng (Solidaridad West Africa) \n  \n	Register here!

SUMMARY:When Heritage Speaks: Voices from the Field
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday 2 October\, Cultural Emergency Response and the Smithsonian Cultural Rescue Initiative invite you to an evening of storytelling from 16:30 – 18:30 at Diligentia in The Hague (Lange Voorhout 5\, The Hague). Hosted by Başak Layiç\, Storyteller and Artistic Director of Rederij Lampeduza\, six cultural heritage practitioners will share powerful personal stories that show how heritage is about people\, how it brings communities together in times of crisis\, and how it inspires resilience and hope. \nThe loss of cultural heritage can feel like losing part of yourself. Preserving it supports well-being\, anchors communities\, and helps them recover with dignity and identity. \nStorytelling is not only a form of heritage\, it is also a way of protecting it. By sharing stories\, we keep memory alive\, strengthen resilience\, and remind the world why culture matters in times of crisis. At When Heritage Speaks: Voices from the Field\, cultural practitioners working in challenging circumstances will share why heritage\, and its protection\, remain vital. \nJoin us to hear stories from Lebanon\, Egypt\, India\, Ecuador\, Puerto Rico\, and Ukraine. We look forward to seeing you there and to continuing the conversation over drinks afterwards. \n	Register here This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:Voices of Gen Z: Shaping Transitions in the City of Peace and Justice
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, October 2\, 2025\, Voices of Gen Z: Shaping Transitions in the City of Peace and Justice will be presented at Leiden University’s Wijnhaven location in The Hague. Written by Dr. Rosa Groen and Dr. Tahir Abbas\, this new publication brings together research on how young people in The Hague engage with social justice\, policymaking\, and urban transitions. \n  \nProgram\n17.00 hrs – Walk-in \n17.30 hrs – Opening remarks by Dr. Tahir Abbas \n17.45 hrs – Foreword by Dr. Rosa Groen \n18.00 hrs – Discussion between Dr. Groen and Dr. Abbas \n18.30 hrs – Closing \n  \nSpeakers\nRosa Groen\nDr. Rosa Groen is a senior researcher Green and Just Transitions at The Hague University of Applied Sciences. Her work focuses on youth participation\, sustainable transitions and democratic engagement\, with a particular emphasis on involving students by making use of the Inner Development Goals (IDGs) and transition models. In 2023 she was named Sustainable Lecturer of Higher Education for her efforts to integrate the SDGs into teaching and research. \nShe is leading EU-funded projects such as EUM POWER (2025-2029) on the rights and inclusion of migrant workers as European citizens\, addressing better information sharing for EU-intra labor migrants in 9 different EU regions. She also leads several projects involving young people in The Hague\, particularly in Escamp and Moerwijk\, addressing issues such as police discrimination\, social cohesion and political participation. \nHer current research focuses on climate governance and justice\, increasing climate action related engagement of primary and secondary school pupils\, students\, and future teachers. She is a member of the scientific working group of the National Citizens’ Council on Climate. Rosa obtained her PhD with the dissertation Walking the Extra Mile\, which explored how governance networks attract and retain international organizations in European cities. \n  \nTahir Abbas\nProfessor Tahir Abbas is Professor of Criminology and Global Justice at Aston University\, and Honorary Professor at the University of Exeter. He was formerly the Professor of Radicalisation Studies at the Institute of Security and Global Affairs\, Leiden University (The Hague). His interdisciplinary research focuses on radicalisation\, Islamophobia\, and ethnic relations\, combining political sociology and critical theory. \nHe has led EU-funded projects such as DRIVE (2021–2024) and PROTONE (2023–2025)\, addressing violent extremism and the protection of religious spaces. Previously\, he held academic positions at Istanbul University and the University of Birmingham\, and served in government as a Senior Research Officer. \nProf. Abbas has authored and edited numerous publications\, including Ethnicity\, Religion\, and Education in the UK (Routledge\, 2024) and Global Counter-Terrorism: A Decolonial Approach (Manchester University Press\, 2025). He is a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences and the Royal Society of Arts. \n  \nDescription of the book\nThis book provides empirical evidence on youth engagement with peace\, justice\, and strong institutions (SDG 16). It takes a bottom-up approach to exploring the meaning and value of global citizenship and social cohesion. It showcases three studies about how the younger generation interprets SDG 16\, EU Climate policies (such as the European Green Deal) and the goals of The Hague as the International City of Peace and Justice. The city of The Hague is dedicated to the promotion of peace\, justice\, inclusivity and security and yet it is one of the most segregated cities in the Netherlands. This book challenges the assumptions that young people are uninterested in local decision-making or lack the competence to contribute to improving their neighborhoods. It gives voice to young people\, generation Z\, (of 13-25 years old) in disadvantaged and advantaged areas in The Hague examining the experiences they have\, their views in contrast with those of educators and policymakers in The Hague\, and their views compared between different areas and age groups in The Hague. This book brings together multiple funded projects to discuss how we can engage young people in democratic processes including policymaking and societal challenges. It helps to bridge the gap between young people and policymakers and therefore speaks to policymakers\, academics\, students and lecturers on social cohesion\, criminology\, and social policies. \n  \n	Register here This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:[Panel discussion] Israel’s unlawful occupation of Palestine and the impact of States’ (non-)compliance with UNGA Resolution ES-10/24
DESCRIPTION:On 18 September 2024\, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adopted Resolution A/RES/ES-10/24. The resolution\, introduced by the State of Palestine\, welcomed the International Court of Justice (ICJ) Advisory Opinion from 19 July 2024 on the Legal consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory\, including East Jerusalem. It also communicated the UNGA’s demand that\, amongst other things\, “...Israel brings to an end without delay its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory\, which constitutes a wrongful act of a continuing character entailing its international responsibility\, and do so no later than 12 months from the adoption of the present resolution”(*). \nThe resolution further called upon all States to comply with their obligations under international law\, both in respect to their joint and separate actions\, as well as the actions of their nationals\, companies and entities under their jurisdiction. Still\, with the expiry of the 12-month deadline for Israel to end its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory fast approaching\, contemporary reports from the United Nations describe escalating attacks in Gaza by Israel’s military\, and the spread of famine. The UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator\, Tom Fletcher has damningly stated that: “Death\, destruction\, starvation and displacement of Palestinian civilians are the result of choices that defy international law and ignore the international community.” \nIn this panel event\, co-organised by the Asser Institute and the Council of Arab Ambassadors in The Hague\, four experts\, including Ambassador Ammar Hijazi\, Head of the Palestinian mission to the Kingdom of the Netherlands\, and Permanent Representative of the State of Palestine to International organisations in The Hague\, will reflect on state compliance with UNGA Resolution A/RES/ES-10/24. They will particularly reflect on the legal and political consequences which may follow for states and the international legal order as a whole\, taking into account the UNGA resolution’s deadline. \n  \nSpeakers:\n\nAmbassador Ammar Hijazi – Ambassador and Head of the Palestinian Mission to the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Permanent Representative of the State of Palestine to International Organisations in The Hague\nProf. André Nollkaemper – Professor of International Law and Sustainability at the University of Amsterdam\nDr Alessandra Spadaro – Assistant Professor of Public International Law at Utrecht University\nThe event will be chaired by Carl Emilio Lewis – researcher at the Asser Insitute.\n\n(*) UNGA Resolution\, A/RES/ES-10/24\, p.5\, para. 2. \n  \n	Register here This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:#DemocracyDrinks The Hague: Wiser about Democracy
DESCRIPTION:About this event\nHow do you navigate an increasingly tense political climate? What tools do we have to strengthen political engagement? \nWith the Dutch parliamentary elections approaching at the end of October\, the question of how to strengthen democratic participation is more relevant than ever. Join us at the October edition of #DemocracyDrinks The Hague\, an evening highlighting tools and approaches that make democracy more engaging\, participatory\, and reflective of diverse voices in society. \nBram van Montfoort from the Dutch Democracy Coalition (NDC) will introduce the DemocratieWijzer\, a tool that helps citizens explore democratic values\, navigate political choices\, and encourage constructive dialogue in the run-up to the elections. Yasmin Haloui from  the Human Security Collective (HSC) will discuss participatory research and innovative methods of engaging young people in discussions on democracy and human rights\, ensuring their perspectives shape political debate and practice. \nThe session will be moderated by Aicha Chaghouani of the Netherlands Helsinki Committee (NHC). \n  \nWhat are the Democracy Drinks?\n#DemocracyDrinks The Hague brings together democracy advocates\, thinkers and enthusiasts at our monthly informal networking events. It is a great way of making new contacts and catching up with people you know; for testing ideas and planning actions; for moral support and inspiration. Feel free to invite friends and colleagues that work on or are interested in defending values like democracy\, rule of law\, human rights… Come along and you will be made welcome! \nThis event series is a collaboration between the Netherlands Helsinki Committee (NHC) and the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy (NIMD) and The Hague Humanity Hub (THHH). \n  \n#DemocracyDrinks were launched in 2018 by Defend Democracy Executive Director Alice Stollmeyer. Over time\, #DemocracyDrinks have expanded their reach and have been organized in Aarhus\, Berlin\, Brussels\, Budapest\, Copenhagen\, Kathmandu\, Montreal\, The Hague and Washington DC\, and soon also in other cities. The events attract a lively mixture of people from NGOs\, international institutions\, think tanks\, national governments and representations\, academia\, public affairs consultancies\, social businesses and other active citizens. \n  \n	Register here This link opens in a new tab\n	\n  \nPhotos – yes or no?\nPlease note that during Democracy Drinks a photographer and/or videographer will be present to take pictures\, for use by the #DemocracyDrinks partners in future marketing efforts.
