SUMMARY:Partos - Navigating power inequalities between Northern and Southern NGOs
DESCRIPTION:Overview \n\n\n\nThis event is an opportunity to dive into a new study providing a comprehensive analysis of concrete actions taken to shift power between NGOs. A just-completed research report\, “Where do we go from here” examines the nature\, extent and effect of actions undertaken by Northern and Southern NGOs within NGO partnerships and the broader aid system. It’s insights can help to figure out where we go from here. The study was developed as part of the Partos Shift the Power Lab 2.0. \n\n\n\nDrawing on more than 450 survey respondents and 53 interviews in the Global North and South\, the report highlights sources of power imbalances\, who does what to change it\, limitations\, barriers and priorities. Ultimately\, the report draws a clear conclusion: there is a need to go beyond actions within programmes and individual organisations. There is a need to revise the broader framework in which aid actors operate. \n\n\n\n\nSign Up Here! This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:Movies That Matter On Tour - Deep Rising
DESCRIPTION:To power the green economy\, a new frontier is found for extracting minerals: the deep sea. But mining the ocean floor may have enormous unforeseen consequences. And who really owns the deep sea anyway? With amazing\, otherworldly images\, and fantastically narrated by Jason Momoa (Aquaman\, Game of Thrones). \n\n\n\nEvent Overview \n\n\n\nOn Tour This link opens in a new tab is a spin-off of the Movies that Matter Festival. Each year\, they select eight great festival titles that they aim to offer a wide platform throughout the country. In cooperation with (currently) seventeen film theatres and local volunteer groups\, they screen a film or documentary that matters\, every month from October to May. The screenings are accompanied by in-depth programmes and guest speakers arranged by local groups. In this way\, dialogue and broadening perspectives in local contexts is encouraged. \n\n\n\nFilm Summary \n\n\n\n‘The future is metallic\,’ Gerard Barron\, CEO of Deep Green Resources\, tells potential investors. His company is developing ways to extract metallic nodules from the ocean floor\, which he claims will open the pathway to a sustainable planet. According to Barron\, the world’s imminent electric car boom can be fully energized by these deep sea treasures. \n\n\n\nBarron’s green pitch gathers much enthusiasm. However\, experts like marine geologist Sandor Mulsow are fiercely against mining the ocean bottom. These minerals are crucial to sustaining the ocean biodiversity – which in turn is crucial to sustaining life on earth. Besides\, the deep seas are determined by treaty to be ‘common heritage of humankind’ – in other words: owned by us all. But the organization that should defend this status\, seems easily manipulated. And are the indigenous people of Papua New Guinea\, whose livelihoods are threatened by the practice\, listened to at all? \n\n\n\nCredits \n\n\n\nDIRECTOR – Matthieu Rytz \n\n\n\nTYPE – Documentary \n\n\n\nCOUNTRY – United States \n\n\n\nYEAR – 2023 \n\n\n\nDURATION – 93 minutes \n\n\n\nSPOKEN LANGUAGE – English \n\n\n\nSUBTITLES – none \n\n\n\n\nMore Info Here!

SUMMARY:Asser Institute - Hate speech and incitement: International criminal and humanitarian law perspectives (HILAC Lecture)
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, the United Nations has remarked on a worldwide surge in hate speech and incitement\, and considered them ‘a menace to democratic values\, social stability and peace.’ In spite of the urgency to address hate speech and incitement\, there is no one universal definition of hate speech or incitement in international law. \n\n\n\nThis HILAC lecture\, organised by the Asser Institute This link opens in a new tab in collaboration with the University of Groningen\, will critically discuss the opportunities and difficulties in identifying a holistic and integrated definition of hate speech and incitement in international law. For example\, to what extent does the principle of legality\, which is fundamental to international criminal law\, limit reliance on human rights law and practice? How does one distinguish between propaganda\, hate speech\, and incitement in international humanitarian law? How do we surface gendered hate speech and gender-based incitement in international criminal judgments? The lecture by Audrey Fino will be followed by an expert panel discussion that will bring together several diverse perspectives.  \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\nDr. Uladzislau Belavusau\n\n\n\nPredrag Dojčinović\n\n\n\nAudrey Fino\n\n\n\nJudge Alphons M.

SUMMARY:ICCT - Book Launch: "Female Jihadis Facing Justice: Comparing Approaches in Europe"
DESCRIPTION:Overview: \n\n\n\nThis webinar hosted by the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism This link opens in a new tab will present findings from their upcoming book “Female Jihadis Facing Justice: Comparing Approaches in Europe”. The book compiled and analysed a unique dataset on female Violent Extremist Offenders (VEOs)\, comprising 283 criminal cases from Belgium\, France\, Germany\, and the Netherlands\, in addition to conducting over 60 semi-structured interviews with relevant practitioners and policy-makers. Speakers will provide insights into the main findings made in the four different country contexts\, provide a cross-cutting analysis\, and discuss ways forward to enhance a gender-sensitive management of female VEOs throughout the criminal justice system. \n\n\n\nContext: \n\n\n\nWomen made up around 20 percent of the individuals who left Europe to join the so-called Islamic State in Syria and Iraq (ISIS). Furthermore\, over the past few years\, a number of terrorist plots in Europe involved women. As a result\, the perception of these women has evolved significantly since 2015. Initially only seen as victims\, there is now a greater attention to their roles within a terrorist organisation\, as well as to the threat they may pose in prison and afterwards. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n> Thomas Renard – Director of ICCT This link opens in a new tab \n\n\n\n> Tanya Mehra –  Senior Research Fellow and Programme Lead at ICCT This link opens in a new tab \n\n\n\n> Marc Hecker – Deputy Director of the French Institute of International Relations This link opens in a new tab \n\n\n\n> Sofia Koller – Senior Research Analyst at the Counter Extremism Project  This link opens in a new tab \n\n\n\n\nSign Up Here!
