SUMMARY:The decolonization of aid #5: the role of the donor
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday 13 Oct 2021\, 15:30 – 16:45Type: WebinarSpoken Language: EnglishRoom: Zoom \n\n\n\n A series of dialogues organized by ISS\, Kuno and Partos\, highlighting various aspects of decolonization.  \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n Smruti Patel\, Founder & Director Global Mentoring Initiative (GMI) and Founder and Member of Alliance for Empowering Partnership (A4EP).Professor Dirk-Jan Koch\, Professor International Trade & Development Cooperation\, Radboud University Nijmegen (the Netherlands).\n\n\n\nAll dialogues in this series will be moderated by: \n\n\n\nKiza Magendane\, The Broker\, knowledge broker\, essayist and writer\, andThea Hilhorst\, professor Humanitarian Aid at the International Institute of Social Studies\n\n\n\nAbout the series\n\n\n\n#BLM debates and other anti-racism protests gave the discussion about the decolonization an impulse. Blogs\, panel discussions (sometimes very heated) and Tweets stumbled over one another. We witnessed many statements and opinions\, but perhaps not so much common ground from which to proceed. \n\n\n\nKUNO\, Partos and the Institute of Social Studies (ISS) take one step back and approach the discussion in a series of talks. Step by step\, they highlight an aspect of this debate. We ask two experts to engage in a conversation with one another to explore the controversies and perhaps find some common grounds. \n\n\n\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Imagining solidarity in international and regional law
DESCRIPTION:The Asser Institute will host a conference on the theme of ‘Imagining solidarity in international and regional law’ from 28 – 29 October 2021.  \n\n\n\nThe programme for this event is out now. Register here. \n\n\n\nBackground\n\n\n\nSolidarity is a core normative ideal underpinning both the development of modern international law as well as the European project. Solidarity has been perceived as the guiding principle in altering the outdated structure of international relations from an order promoting self-interest of States to one that pursues community interests and attempts to find solutions to problems that affect all humankind. \n\n\n\nIn the context of public international law\, solidarity has been used as a legal principle in terms of international peace and security. In the European Union (EU) context\, it has been invoked primarily during the eurozone and refugee crises. In the African Union (AU)\, solidarity has been part of the principles since the creation of the Organisation for African Unity in 1963. \n\n\n\nSolidarity also emerged as an objective in the Charter of the Organization of American States (OAS). More recently\, solidarity has been invoked as a core principle during international discussions around the distribution of the coronavirus vaccine. This exemplifies the diversity of ways in which the principle of solidarity has been utilised as a core value in shaping international and regional legal regimes.  \n\n\n\nThe conference will include papers detailing the multiplicity of ways the principle of solidarity can be used both in international and regional law. These contributions revolve around how solidarity can/should be deployed to achieve a variety of aims\, including in relation to the environment\, human rights\, development\, peace and security\, migration\, and other fields\, in a variety of contexts across the globe\, whether regional integration projects (EU\, AU\, and others) or as part of public international law. \n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nOver two days\, this conference will feature international and renowned academics and legal scholars from a multiplicity of research fields. The keynote speakers are Prof. E. Sharpston (former Advocate General of the CJEU) and Prof. D. Tladi (Professor of International Law\, University of Pretoria)\, and will include panels on: \n\n\n\nThe principle of solidarity in international and regional law: A general overviewSolidarity: The view from the Global SouthSolidarity in EU migration and asylum lawSolidarity in EU law: Case-studiesSolidarity in international law: Case-studies\n\n\n\nRead the full programme. \n\n\n\n\nRegister now.

SUMMARY:Conference on the Future of Europe: The EU and its Southern neighbourhood
DESCRIPTION:LINKS Europe and The City of The Hague are pleased to invite you to participate in this policy dialogue\, which is the second in a series of activities that they are organising together as part of the debate in the framework of the Conference on the Future of Europe process. This event will be held at the offices of LINKS Europe\, Lange Voorhout 43\, in The Hague on Thursday\, 28 October 2021\, from 1600-1800. \n\n\n\nEurope’s Southern Neighbourhood stretches from the Atlantic coast of the Sahel region of Africa to the Khyber Pass\, and is made up of various regions\, including the Sahel\, North Africa and the Levant\, and the Arabian Peninsula. Iran and Afghanistan\, whilst not in the immediate neighbourhood\, are close and important enough to require particular attention. \n\n\n\nThe EU is already heavily involved in the region but the overall strategy is often perceived to be patchy and insufficient. In the Sahel\, the EU is preparing to deploy a large military mission; the Union of the Mediterranean has the ambition to provide a complimentary process to the EU’s own integration processes; and in the Indian Ocean the EU operates a naval mission to combat piracy – one of eleven missions currently deployed in the Southern neighbourhood. The EU is playing an important role in the discussions around the JCPOA with Iran. But as the recent crisis in Afghanistan has shown\, the EU’s own capacity to act with its own resources is embarrassingly insignificant. As the United States shifts its strategic posture towards the Indo- Pacific region\, many are expecting Europe to step-up and step-in. Does Europe have the capacity\, or even the vision to do this? What needs to happen in the short and medium term and what are the tools required? One thing appears to be certain: to succeed the EU needs to approach the Southern neighbourhood with an open mind; it must listen carefully both to its own citizens\, as well as to the citizens of the neighbouring countries; and it must always keep its eyes wide open\, for both risks and opportunities. \n\n\n\nThe policy dialogue will look at how the EU engages with its southern neighbourhood\, the impact of the Southern neighbourhood on the EU\, and issues related to migration\, radicalisation\, development\, and conflict resolution. It will explore particularly whether there are opportunities that can be exploited in order to make this relationship more mutually beneficial. \n\n\n\nParticipants to the policy dialogue will hear short presentations from four guest speakers\, after which every participant present will be asked to contribute their views on the topic in short 1–2-minute presentations\, followed by a general discussion. Views from the meeting will be reflected in a short summary of proceedings\, which will form part of the final submissions to the Conference on the Future of Europe. \n\n\n\nRegistration for this event is required. If you require any more information\, please email: wmurray@links-europe.eu. \n\n\n\nThe event will be held under COVID-19 guidelines – attendees will need to present a proof of recovery\, vaccination\, or test before entry. \n\n\n\n\nRegister!
