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:Disarmament and non-proliferation of WMD 2025
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Wendelin Jacober on Pexels\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe global non-proliferation norms regarding the use and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction are under pressure. The threat posed by nuclear\, chemical and biological weapons has reached levels of urgency not seen since the Cold War. Consequently\, there is a growing demand for professionals with the necessary legal\, technical and policy expertise to tackle the challenges of today’s non-proliferation and disarmament agenda. Register now This link opens in a new tab for the fifteenth training programme on disarmament and non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction\, co-organised with the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) on 13-17 October 2025 in The Hague. \n\n\n\nDuring this intensive training programme\, you will receive a comprehensive overview of the international non-proliferation and disarmament framework. You will learn from renowned experts and practitioners in the field and engage in active discussions about key topics and current debates. The programme also provides you with the opportunity to build your professional network with experts in the field\, as well as with your fellow participants. \n\n\n\nView preliminary programme. This link opens in a new tab \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistrationRegistration is open. Please ensure to carefully read the Terms and Conditions before registering. \n\n\n\nThe registration fee includes: \n\n\n\n\n       Engaging lectures with leading academics and practitioners from various areas of arms control\n\n\n\n       Study visits to Nuclear Reactor Institute Delft\, the OPCW ChemTech Centre\, and the OPCW headquarters\n\n\n\n       Study materials\n\n\n\n       Lunches and water/tea/coffee during working days\n\n\n\n       Networking dinner\n\n\n\n       Networking reception\n\n\n\n\nIt does not cover international travel costs\, domestic travel to and from airports\, accommodation\, insurance\, or other expenses. \n\n\n\nAll activities during the programme are conducted in English. Participants are therefore expected to have a good oral and written command of this language. \n	Register Here This link opens in a new tab\n	\n\n\n\nProgramme backgroundThe proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction (biological\, chemical and nuclear weapons) pose an incalculable risk to national\, regional and global security\, as well as human and health. With heightening geo-political tensions\, Weapons of Mass Destruction are again centre stage on the international security agenda. The war in Ukraine has highlighted the importance of maintaining the prohibition norm against the use of biological and chemical weapons and robust international mechanisms\, including arms control measures\, to prevent nuclear escalation during conflicts. \n\n\n\nNuclear weaponsThe increased threat from nuclear weapons comes as nuclear arms control and non-proliferation regimes are disintegrating\, nuclear-armed states are developing new weapons systems and increasing nuclear stockpiles\, and conflicts involving nuclear-armed states continue. The failure to agree on an outcome document at the 10th Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference in August 2022 reflects the continued deterioration of the international security environment\, and they need for fresh approaches to promoting disarmament and non-proliferation while enabling peaceful uses of nuclear energy. \n\n\n\nChemical weaponsMeanwhile\, despite considerable success in curtailing chemical weapons proliferation and destroying stockpiles in recent decades\, the increasing number of incidents involving chemical weapons is a matter of grave concern. Moreover\, recent incidents and conflicts have been accompanied by disinformation campaigns to evade attribution and accountability or to justify aggression. Questions on the possible erosion of the norm against the use of chemical weapons\, how future use can be deterred\, and how to strengthen the capacity of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) remain of crucial importance. \n\n\n\nBiological weaponsMoreover\, while the COVID-19 pandemic was a natural phenomenon\, it serves as a grim reminder of the risks posed by the spread and use of biological weapons. Innovations in biotechnology is making the production of increasingly dangerous pathogens easier. Scientific and technical advances enable both states and non-state actors to synthetically produce novel bioweapons\, to amplify the virulence of disease-causing organisms\, and to weaponise the spread of harmful genes in the environment. More than ever\, the international community needs to strengthen the norm against biological weapons\, and to promote responsible science and innovation. \n\n\n\nEmerging technologiesFinally\, the rapid development of emerging and potentially destabilising technologies\, such as drone technologies\, hypersonic ballistic missiles and AI-enabled weapon systems\, present new challenges to the existing global non-proliferation\, disarmament and arms control regimes. Often emerging technologies fall outside existing legal regimes\, or blur the line between conventional weapons and weapons of mass destruction. It is necessary to bring emerging technologies into the ongoing debates about arms control in order to mitigate the security risks from technological innovation.   \n\n\n\nParticipants will gain: \n\n\n\n\nIn-depth knowledge of the diplomatic\, legal and technical aspects of disarmament and non-proliferation;\n\n\n\nInsight into the work of key professionals in the area of WMD\, seasoned with their personal experiences; and\n\n\n\nUnique networking opportunities with speakers and participants from diverse backgrounds.\n\n\n\n\nField visits \n\n\n\nLecture the Asser Institute will be complemented by field visits to the Nuclear Reactor Institute Delft\, the OPCW Laboratory and Equipment Store\, and the OPCW headquarters. \n\n\n\nThese were the confirmed speakers from the last edition. \n\n\n\n\nThea Coventry (Asser Institute)\n\n\n\nThilo Marauhn (Asser Institute; Justus Liebig University Giessen)\n\n\n\nH.E.

SUMMARY:Faith\, Freedom\, and the Fracturing of Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a compelling fireside chat exploring the urgent and interlinked challenges facing democracies today\, from the shrinking space for civil society and threats to freedom of religion\, to deepening polarisation and democratic backsliding. \nAcross the world\, democracies are under strain. Civil society is increasingly under pressure\, spaces for dissent and dialogue are narrowing\, freedom of religion is being contested\, and polarisation is shaping political discourse. While these dynamics may play out differently in different contexts\, their echoes are global\, and deeply concerning. \nThis conversation begins from the lived realities of India\, where activists\, journalists\, and religious minorities face rising restrictions\, but it does not end there. We also reflect on the Netherlands\, our host country\, where debates around civil liberties\, migration\, and inclusion reveal similar tensions. While these concerns are deeply felt in India\, they resonate just as strongly in the Netherlands and across the globe. In this moderated conversation with Marieke Koekkoek (Volt)\, Fatimazhra Belhirch (D66) and Isa Kahraman (NSC)\, we will reflect on these concerning trends\, drawing connections between the local and the international. \nCome be part of an open and thought-provoking discussion which will invite reflection\, dialogue\, and collective insight. The panel will be followed by an audience Q&A. \nLet’s talk about the future of democracy and why it matters to all of us. \n	Register here This link opens in a new tab\n	 \n  \n🎙️ Format: Panel conversation + Q&A+ networking drinks\n💬 Language: English

SUMMARY:Help & join the relay for international cooperation
DESCRIPTION:The world is under pressure: war on Europe’s borders\, millions of people displaced\, and a climate crisis that is having a profound impact everywhere. Right now\, the government is choosing to cut back on international cooperation. Cutting back on this is shortsighted and unjust! The Netherlands is not an island.

On October 21st\, we’re organising a unique marathon relay race past the offices of political parties. With every step\, we’re demonstrating that international cooperation is essential – for freedom\, security\, and justice. \nWith a broad coalition of social organisations\, trade unions\, churches\, and athletes\, we show that solidarity does not stop at the border. \n\nRun a stage\nHelp out as a supporter\nPut solidarity in motion\n\nWhether you’re a seasoned runner or just helping us along the route\, your participation counts. Every meter is a statement that politicians can’t ignore. \n	Register here! This link opens in a new tab\n	 \nTogether we make a statement. Together we run for justice. \nBecause #NLisgeenEiland. \nThis is an initiative of the FNV\, KNVB\, Council of Churches\, Oxfam Novib\, Cordaid\, Partos\, Aidsfonds\, Greenpeace Netherlands & Friends of the Earth Netherlands.

SUMMARY:[Conference] Adapting private international law in an era of uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:Is private international law up to the challenge? \nThis one-day conference will explore how private international law is adapting to a world marked by rapid change\, digital disruption\, and increasing legal complexity. \nPrivate international law deals with cross-border legal disputes. It answers questions like: which country’s court should hear a case? And which country’s laws should apply? These questions are becoming harder to answer as people\, businesses\, and conflicts move across borders more easily—and unpredictably. \nThe event will bring together leading legal scholars\, practitioners\, and emerging researchers. They will examine how private international law can remain fair and effective in an era shaped by inequality and digital platforms that blur traditional boundaries. \nThe programme begins with a keynote address. Three panels will follow. The first looks at how digital technology is challenging traditional legal frameworks. The second asks whether weaker parties are being protected fairly in cross-border disputes. The third gives the floor to promising early-career researchers sharing fresh ideas. \nThe event is designed to spark debate\, share research\, and foster new thinking about the future of legal cooperation across borders. With expert panels\, open discussion\, and space to meet others working in this field\, the conference offers a timely opportunity to reflect on how private international law must evolve to meet today’s realities. \nThis event is part of the Asser Institute’s 60 Years Series. Although broader in scope\, private international law topics of the conference are aligned with private law aspects of the research strand Transnational public interests: constituting public interest beyond and below the state. This strand explores how the idea of ‘public interest’ may be shifting—away from national governments and towards international bodies\, cities\, and even private actors. \nRead the full programme \nSpeakers\n\nGeert van Calster (KU Leuven)\nHans van Loon (former Secretary-General\, HCCH)\nLouwrens Kiestra (HCCH)\nMachiko Kanetake (T.M.C.

SUMMARY:World's Youth for Climate Justice - Unpacking the ICJAO for COP30 Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:📆 28 October\, 2025\n🕚 11 AM – 12:30 PM UTC / 12 – 1:30 PM CET\n📍 Online\, join here: https://bit.ly/COP30ICJAO \nOn 23 July 2025\, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) delivered its long-awaited advisory opinion on climate change. The opinion clarifies States’ international obligations in respect of climate change and touches upon many different aspects: content of NDCs\, long-term temperature objective under the Paris Agreement\, obligations relating to fossil fuel exploration/exploitation\, right to a healthy environment\, obligations in respect to nature\, etc. \nWith COP30 just around the corner\, it is essential that civil society organisations understand the significance and the legal consequences stemming from the ICJ advisory opinion (ICJAO) and how it can be used to strengthen our advocacy messages. The advisory opinion offers additional tools to influence the preparation and negotiations of the next round of climate talks in Belém and other ongoing debates at national and regional level (e.g.\, EU – 2040 climate target debate and future climate architecture). \nIn this webinar organised by Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe\, WWF\, World’s Youth for Climate Justice (WYCJ)\, and Global Focus in collaboration with Germanwatch e.V.\, experts will unpack the ICJAO together. The list of speakers includes Shirley Matheson (WWF)\, Francesca Mascha Klein (Germanwatch)\, Henrieke Bünger (WYCJ)\, Sofia Ghezzi (WWF)\, Nicole Ann Ponce (WYCJ)\, Sigrid Bjerre Andersen (Global Focus)\, and Romain Didi (CAN Europe). \n	Register here This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:PeaceTech Hack - Reclaim Connection
DESCRIPTION:The day after ImpactFest in The Hague\, Changemakers Agency\, We Are Changemakers\, and Project Didi are hosting a Quarter-Hackathon at The Hague Humanity Hub. \n​Our mission: to co-create a prototype platform that empowers civic organizations to reconnect directly with citizens\, without relying on META or other commercial platforms. \n​We have space for a maximum of 30 participants at this in-person event in The Hague. \n​The challenge is presented by Collectief Kapitaal The Hague\, a local initiative aiming for deeper engagement with the city’s residents while remaining independent of commercial tech ecosystems. \n​Could we design a trusted digital space where citizens truly own their connections with civic organisations? \nWhat if these organisations could share and collaborate within that network—openly\, respectfully\, and transparently? \nAnd how might this strengthen the social fabric of our cities? \n​ \nThis hackathon marks the beginning of a new PeaceTech agenda at We Are Changemakers\, exploring how technology can foster trust\, inclusion\, and civic empowerment. \n​We’re calling on coders\, designers\, and changemakers of all kinds to join us in this experiment. \n​Sign up to be part of the prototype for a more connected\, citizen-driven future. \n	Sign up here!
