SUMMARY:Startup in Residence Ministry of Justice and Security
DESCRIPTION:Startup in Residence Ministry of Justice and Security\nThe Ministry of Justice and Security is launching an innovative program with the objective to cooperate with innovators: the Startup in Residence Program (SiR). \nThis program challenges startups to come up with solutions to four pre-selected social issues in the field of Justice and Security. We are looking for enthusiastic and innovative startups who are willing to join us on this journey. \nWhat does the SiR program exactly stand for? \nIt works as follows: Startups can apply when they have an idea that does not exist and can help solve one of the social issues. Take a look at the challenges here ! \nThree startups will be the opportunity to present their idea\, and they will\, in the professional jury. Finally\, the jury will select the winners (one per social issue). These startups will be admitted to participate in the SiR Program. They will\, furthermore\, be provided with development budget and will attend the training and guidance program. \nAfter five months of intensive cooperation between startup and ministry\, the program will end with the accomplishment of a working prototype. The startup will be invited to present its prototype to the commissioning parties and potential customers during Demo Day in June 2019. \nhttps://startupinresidence.com/ministry-of-security-and-justice/#

SUMMARY:Accountability for Conflict-Related Sexual Crimes  in Eastern Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Sexual crimes related to the conflict in Eastern-Ukraine have been allegedly committed since the beginning of the armed conflict in early 2014. The United Nations observed that ‘allegations of sexual violence perpetrated by all parties involved in hostilities are entrenched in the narratives of people living along the contact line’. Cases of sexual violence are usually under-reported\, due to prevailing unease about this issue\, the stigma and trauma associated with it\, as well as\, in this case\, the limited access to Eastern Ukraine territories. Further\, victims and witnesses are often reluctant to speak\, out of fear of reprisals. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and its partner organisation the Eastern-Ukrainian Centre for Civic Initiatives (EUCCI) have embarked on a project of gathering and analysing evidence of sexual crimes in Donbass\, Ukraine. In the implementation of this project\, FIDH and EUCCI have uncovered mounting evidence of heinous cases of sexual crimes committed mostly in detention facilities operated by members of separatist paramilitaries and quasi-state institutions\, but also attributed to members of Ukrainian security services and pro-Kyiv volunteer battalions. \nFIDH and EUCCI argue that these crimes have been committed in the context of and were associated with the armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine\, and/or as part of a widespread and systematic attack against the civilian population\, and therefore may amount to war crimes and/or crimes against humanity. A Communication will be submitted to the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The Communication\, filed under Article 15 of the ICC Statute\, aims to support the Prosecutor’s ongoing preliminary examination of the situation in Ukraine\, opened since 25 April 2014\, and to persuade the Prosecutor to open of a full investigation into ICC Statute crimes committed in Ukraine\, including sexual crimes. \nModerator\n• Delphine Carlens\, Deputy Head of the International Justice Desk\, FIDH \nPanelists\n• Testimony by Iryna Dovgan\n• Alexandre Prezanti\, partner of Global Diligence LLP\, retained by FIDH to assist EUCCI and FIDH with the documentation and analysis of evidence\, and drafting of a communication to the ICC on sexual crimes in Eastern Ukraine\n• Volodymyr Shcherbachenko\, Head of the EUCCI\n• Nataliia Hrytsenko\, legal analyst\, EUCCI. \nPlease register using the following link:\nhttps://goo.gl/forms/Vk66tXqxl0qBOjld2

SUMMARY:International Day of Peace 2018
DESCRIPTION:Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21 September. The General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace\, both within and among all nations and peoples. \nThe United Nations Member States adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals in 2015 because they understood that it would not be possible to build a peaceful world if steps were not taken to achieve economic and social development for all people everywhere\, and ensure that their rights were protected.  The Sustainable Goals cover a broad range of issues\, including poverty\, hunger\, health\, education\, climate change\, gender equality\, water\, sanitation\, energy\, environment and social justice. \n \nSustainable Development Goal 16 “Peace\, Justice and Strong Institutions” calls for promoting peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development\, providing access to justice for all and building effective\, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels. \nA peaceful society is one where there is justice and equality for everyone. Peace will enable a sustainable environment to take shape and a sustainable environment will help promote peace. \nThe theme for the International Day of Peace in 2018 is “The Right to Peace – The Universal Declaration of Human Rights at 70” \nThe theme celebrates the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. \nThe Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world\, the Declaration was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations.\nThe Universal Declaration – the most translated document in the world\, available in more than 500 languages – is as relevant today as it was on the day that it was adopted. \n  \n“It is time all nations and all people live up to the words of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights\, which recognizes the inherent dignity and equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human race. This year marks the 70th anniversary of that landmark document.” — Secretary-General António Guterres \nThe Universal Declaration states in Article 3. “Everyone has the right to life\, liberty and security of person.” These elements build the foundation of freedom\, justice and peace in the world. \nYet\, the Universal Declaration does not include a separate article on “Right to Peace”. This is why we ask you this year: \nWhat does “The Right to Peace” mean to you? Share your ideas with us through #peaceday and #standup4humanright. \nIn the lead up to the International Day of Peace on 21 September\, we call upon all to take action. \nYou can support SDG 16 Peace\, Justice and Strong Institutions by seeking  peaceful resolution of conflict when disagreements arise around you.  You can be part of the solution by taking small steps. You can prevent an injustice at school or in your community by adopting a non-violent approach to problem solving and reporting potential crimes\, including online bullying.\nYou can promote human rights by collecting and promoting videos of as many articles as possible in as many languages as possible. Record yourself reading one of the 30 articles of the Declaration in any of the 135 languages currently available and share your video with your friends. \nYou can engage by speaking up when others are at risk and stand with others’ human rights at work\, in school and around the dinner table. \nYou can reflect how each of us can stand up for rights\, every day. \nHuman rights are everyone’s rights.

SUMMARY:World Conference on Humanitarian Studies 2018
DESCRIPTION:(Re-) Shaping Boundaries in Crisis and Crisis Response \nCrisis and humanitarianism has always been about boundaries. The classic view of a crisis is an exceptional moment\, bounded in time and space. Humanitarian action was therefore seen as a necessarily limited endeavor which has a narrow but principled focus on saving lives and alleviating suffering. Setting clear boundaries around crisis were meant to distinguish crisis from normality and legitimate extraordinary measures to accommodate its effects. \nDrawing boundaries has historically been associated with causing crisis. Boundaries are drawn to include and exclude and all too often drawn to destroy and discard cultures and societies. Today\, in a rapidly changing world\, humanitarian crisis response and humanitarianism is increasingly confronted with boundaries that are dissolving\, displaced\, or resurrecting. Refugees encounter increasing geopolitical boundaries. While countries close their borders\, we also see movements where nation-states seek to extra-territorialize their boundaries aiming to control the movement of people from outside their designated territories. The European refugee crisis is undoubtedly one of the prime examples. At the same time\, developments in technology and communications are leading to an ever more inter-connected world. There are many opportunities to transform a crisis into a ‘new’\, peaceful and inclusive world. The movement of information and ideas has opened up as a result of increasing use of social media\, but it has also underlined increasing inequality between haves and have-nots. At the same time\, we see trends of governments trying to control this social space. Anti-terrorist measures lead to increasingly restricted spaces to respond or resolve crises. \nNew forms of humanitarianism are evolving. There are calls for the boundaries between humanitarian action and development assistance to be dissolved\, and for a blurring of boundaries between humanitarian\, security and development objectives. The boundaries between northern donors and humanitarian organisations responding to crises in the global south are also less clear with calls for more southern led responses (localization) and aid agencies responding to humanitarian crises in Europe\, the US and Puerto Rico. In Europe\, a new generation of humanitarians is emerging from the volunteer response to refugees. \nHumanitarianism finds itself challenged by dissipating boundaries due to the changing nature of crises. The iconic modernist site of humanitarian control\, the refugee camp\, may be turning into a relic of the past\, with 90% of refugees emanating from the Syrian crisis staying outside of camps\, where they lead lives that are hardly distinguishable from other people leading precarious lives. Camps\, however\, are not likely to disappear entirely\, either because environments may be too remote or poor to sustain refugees or because states continue to want to control and inter people (for instance in the case of the Rohingya in Bangladesh\, Australia\, Greece\, and Manus/Naura to name some areas). Socio-natural disasters used to be considered as bounded in time and space\, yet are now seen to spill over into large-scale phenomena related to vulnerability to climate change. While the world is increasingly capable of saving lives during socio-natural disasters\, the questions how affected populations can secure their livelihoods and habitat become more poignant. The protracted nature of many conflicts and international migration as an increasingly common response by those suffering protracted crisis makes service delivery against minimum standards a task beyond the remit of classic humanitarian assistance. \nThe World Humanitarian Summit called for stronger bridges between humanitarian aid and development\, and urged a rethink of humanitarian governance and practice with much more space for authorities\, service providers and populations of crisis affected settings. This leaves many questions open regarding the importance of humanitarian principles and the effectiveness of the humanitarian response. \nThis conference invites panels that examine boundaries from all different angles\, ranging from the intentions and practices of government control\, international law\, the ways in which people organize themselves in the face of crisis and\, the rapid transformation of technological limits and the boundaries of humanitarian action. What are the new factors that are influencing the dynamics of crisis response and the dilemmas of humanitarian action? How to understand and respond to attempts by the EU to control refugee flows in and from Libya\, north Africa and the Sahel? Is it possible to think of humanitarian crises as a way to move towards a uniting world with fewer boundaries? \nThe main theme is divided into 4 sub-themes for the Call for Panels: \n\nThe changing realities of crisis and responses to crises\, including humanitarianism\nChanging Actors\, views and challenges from below\nThe impact of technology and innovation in coping with\, responding to and transforming crisis\nHumanitarian studies and the WHS humanitarian scholar commitments\n\n  \nMore information and registration: https://conference.ihsa.info/

SUMMARY:World Humanitarian Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:World Humanitarian Day (WHD) is held every year on 19 August to pay tribute to aid workers who risk their lives in humanitarian service\, and to rally support for people affected by crises around the world. \n2018 WHD campaign: #NotATarget\nThis World Humanitarian Day we continue to bring attention to the millions of civilians affected by armed conflict every day. People in cities and towns struggle to find food\, water\, and safe shelter\, while fighting drives millions from their homes. Children are recruited and used to fight\, and their schools are destroyed. Women are abused and humiliated. As humanitarian workers deliver aid\, and medical workers treat the wounded and sick\, they are directly targeted\, treated as threats\, and prevented from bringing relief and care to those in desperate need. \nThe humanitarian concerns described here can’t possibly capture the lives of all those affected by conflict around the world. From people with disabilities\, to the elderly\, migrants\, and journalists\, all civilians caught in conflict need to be protected. \nJoin the #NotATarget movement and demand world leaders to do everything in their power to protect all civilians in conflict.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Meetup: Data for Nutrition & Food Security
DESCRIPTION:In 2017\, ICCO and 510 (Datateam of the Netherlands Red Cross) have carried out joint research and established a promising model indicating the level of food (in)security in Ethiopia. Also\, 510 has explored with Sight and Life and DSM if they can collaborate on better understanding and prediction nutrition status of developing countries.\n\nICCO\, 510\, and Sight and Life intend to integrate the model into the Community Risk Assessment (CRA) Toolbox currently being developed by 510\, enabling insight in both the current as well as the future nutrition status of target areas. The Community Risk Assessment and Prioritization toolbox collates open data on a set of vulnerability- and coping capacity indicators. When this is combined with hazard and exposure data\, priority areas for humanitarian intervention can be identified faster.\n\nYou are invited to try the CRA tool yourself to see how it can be used in practice and to support the team in discussing the possible next steps. Bringing a laptop can be useful for this\, but is not mandatory.\n\nJoin us for drinks after the meetup!
