SUMMARY:Conference - International Criminal Court at 20: Reflections on the Past\, Present and the Future
DESCRIPTION:The International Criminal Court (ICC) is pleased to announce the conference “International Criminal Court at 20: Reflections on the Past\, Present and the Future”\, taking place on Friday\, 1 July 2022\, from 9:30 to 18:00\, Central European Time. The conference will be webcast live in English\, French and Spanish on the ICC’s Youtube channel. While in-person participation at the conference is by invitation only\, virtual attendance is open to all interested persons. \n\n\n\nThe conference will be an occasion to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the International Criminal Court as one of the permanent pillars of the international legal system. The entry into force\, on 1 July 2002\, of the ICC’s founding treaty\, the Rome Statute\, enabled the commencement of the Court’s operations under its mandate aimed at ensuring accountability for the gravest crimes under international law\, contributing to their prevention\, and providing justice to victims. \n\n\n\nThe conference will start with a keynote speech by the Chair of Rome Conference and first ICC President\, H.E. Mr. Philippe Kirsch\, followed by three substantive panels on various aspects on the Court’s work. Speakers will include the President\, Prosecutor and Registrar of the ICC\, the President of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute\, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the ICC’s Trust Fund for Victims\, the President of the International Criminal Court Bar Association\, as well leading academics\, civil society experts and practitioners. \n\n\n\nThe conference will allow for in-depth discussions on the different aspects of the Court’s concrete operations\, from the earliest reports of alleged crimes to final judgments and the reparation of victims. It will also be an occasion for reflections on how well the ICC has met expectations\, as well as what main trends can be discerned for the further development of the international criminal justice system going forward. \n\n\n\nProgramme of the conference  – English\, Français\, Español

SUMMARY:Summer School of 2022 - Conflict Resolution: How to Mediate?
DESCRIPTION:Whether it is Ukraine\, Israel\, Yemen\, or Afghanistan\, conflict is an undeniable part of the domain of international relations. Although the nature of conflict has changed to include different modes of warfare such as drones and private mercenaries\, the main questions surrounding conflict have remained the same\, namely ‘why does a conflict occur?’ and ‘what can be done to solve a given conflict?’. The latter question is where the role of international negotiation in the shape of mediation comes into view. In the words of William Zartman\, conflicts are ‘only ripe for resolution through mediation when a Mutually Hurting Stalemate is reached’. \n\n\n\n Diplomats play a key role in facilitating mediation sessions. But as we all know not every meeting is a success\, indicating that you cannot be a good mediator before becoming a good negotiator. So how do diplomats know when this so-called Mutually Hurting Stalemate is reached? And if so\, where do they meet and who should mediate? If you recognize yourself in these questions then this summer school might exactly be what you are looking for. \n\n\n\nThe program of 2022 includes speakers like Paul Meerts\, Hans van den Berg and practising diplomats. Students are offered the opportunity to expand their (international) network with networking sessions and practice their skills in a diplomatic simulation. In doing so\, participants represent a country or an international organisation\, prepare a position\, and negotiate an agreement.

SUMMARY:Live Event: China’s Digital Future
DESCRIPTION:China’s emergence as a force to be reckoned with in the digital realm has caused some concern in Western countries\, on topics ranging from Chinese espionage and control over data flows to a possible invasion of Taiwan in order to capture semiconductor manufacturing facilities. To what extent are these concerns justified\, and what is it we need to know about China’s digital technology capabilities to better assess the future of the digital realm? Join us for a panel conversation with three leading experts in the field\, who will shed greater light on these important developments. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSpeakers:\n\n\n\nJamie Horsley – The CAC: A Portrait of China’s Digital Regulator  \n\n\n\nJamie Horsley is a Visiting Lecturer in Law and Senior Fellow of the Paul Tsai China Center at Yale Law School.  Her project work and research revolve primarily around issues of administrative law\, governance and regulatory reform\, including promoting government transparency\, public participation and government accountability. \n\n\n\nHunter Dorwart – China and Cross-Border Data FlowsHunter Dorwart is a Policy Counsel for the Future of Privacy Forum’s Global Privacy team\, where he analyzes new bills\, laws and regulatory actions around the world with an impact on the digital economy\, personal data and data flows. He has previously worked with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on global digital development issues as well as the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)\, a leading standard setting organization for the information communication technology industry. \n\n\n\nJohn Lee – China & Semiconductor IndustryJohn is the director of East West Future. His analysis is informed by a sophisticated understanding of the political\, business and security environments in the EU\, Australia and East-Southeast Asia.  His research mostly focuses on China’s semiconductor-related industries and their global relations\, China’s cyberspace governance and data regulatory regime\, and future telecommunications networks and the Internet of Things. \n\n\n\nThe event is moderated by Rogier Creemers\, Assistent Professor in Modern Chinese Studies at Leiden University and researcher at LeidenAsiaCentre\, where he directs a project on China and global cybersecurity.
