SUMMARY:Webinar: Securing Public Trust and Social Cohesion Amid COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:The Role of Access to Trusted and Reliable Information\nBackground \nThe COVID-19 pandemic presents heightened risks for societies with low levels of social cohesion and a lack of trust between citizens and the state. The accompanying ‘infodemic’ makes matters worse by spreading harmful information that not only undermines health responses but also tears at the social fabric. In addition\, pre-existing suspicion of health authorities and aid actors in many countries adds to the danger. These factors drastically increase the likelihood of violence\, witnessed already in surging numbers at the household level\, and widely feared and predicted to come at the community level. \nHowever\, experience responding to the Ebola epidemics in West Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo has shown that ensuring a constructive exchange of information and healthy collaboration between communities\, authorities\, and responders can play a crucial role in enabling an effective response and preventing violence.  \nIn this webinar\, two peacebuilding experts from Mercy Corps will discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic is exacerbating existing threats to social cohesion in fragile contexts\, and how we can make the international response more effective while preventing violent conflict. \nObjectives \nRaise awareness of the impact of COVID-19 on public trust and social cohesion in fragile contexts\nShare good practices of countering misinformation and strengthening community engagement to improve social cohesion amid an epidemic\nHear experiences and good practices from the broader SRoL community\nFormat & Speaker \nEmma Whitaker\, Peace & Conflict Advisor\, Mercy Corps \nDanjuma Dawop\, Head of Conflict Management and Social Cohesion\, Mercy Corps Iraq \nQ&A \nModerated by Megan Price\, Head of Office\, KPSRL \nRegistration \nRegistration is mandatory to attend this event.

SUMMARY:Challenges to Prosecuting Paramilitaries: Insights from the former Yugoslavia and Syria [SCL Lecture]
DESCRIPTION:Paramilitaries and irregular armed forces are\, and have been\, ubiquitous in conflicts world-wide: from Latin America in the 1970s and 1980s\, to the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s\, to the Democratic Republic of Congo\, Uganda in the past few decades and\, more recently\, in Iraq\, Syria and Ukraine. Many of them have perpetrated brutal attacks against civilians and participated in crimes that have been legally qualified as genocide\, crimes against humanity and war crimes. \nThese armed groups often serve as auxiliaries to regular state forces\, and various units act covertly in pursuit of political and territorial goals\, which enable states to claim plausible deniability and leaders to escape responsibility. \nA number of trials in The Hague\, at the ICTY and the ICC\, dealt with various paramilitary units\, and the IRMCT is currently retrying an important case relating to the paramilitaries in the former Yugoslavia\, prosecuting state officials for establishing\, funding and directing units that committed crimes in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. \nThis panel aims to discuss\, from an interdisciplinary perspective\, the nature and purpose of paramilitaries using examples from the former Yugoslavia and Syria\, and the legal\, investigative and evidentiary challenges in prosecuting perpetrators\, both paramilitary members and those who command and control them. \nPresentations:\nSerbian Paramilitaries: Insights from the ICTY\nDr Iva Vukušić\, Visiting Research Fellow at Department of War Studies\, King’s College London \nThe rise of Kataib al-Baath (al-Baath Legions) at Aleppo University after 2011\nAli Aljasem\, MA\, Researcher at the History Department\, Utrecht University \nEstablishing the liability of paramilitary members for atrocity crimes – problems and potentialities\nDr Matthew Gillett\, Director\, Peace and Justice Initiative and Trial Lawyer\, Office of the Prosecutor at the ICC

SUMMARY:KUNO Covid-Café: How Covid empowers local civil society organizations in the South
DESCRIPTION:The Covid-19 crisis is posing a challenge to the world in unprecedented ways and it is influencing our daily lives. It will most definitely also change our work in the humanitarian sector. This needs to be discussed: with humanitarian professionals\, with policymakers\, academics\, and certainly also with a broader audience: citizens that are firmly interested this topic\, but who may also have worries. This is why KUNO in cooperation with partners\, is introducing the KUNO Covid Café. Every week we organize an online café\, to discuss the changing world with inspiring speakers and a wide audience. \nThe first series of the Covid-Café will be a joint Oxfam Novib – KUNO effort. \nIn this fourth episode of the Café we will talk about the influence of Covid on empowering local civil society organizations with the following speakers : \nStand-up column by Prof Dr Thea Hilhorst\, professor at International Institue of Social Studies (ISS) and president of International Humanitarian Studies Association (IHSA). \nGloria Madong\, Executive Director\, Titi Foundation South Sudan\, and Deputy Chair\, NGO Forum South Sudan\nThis session will be co-moderated by Peter Heintze (KUNO) and Anita Kattakuzhy\, Humanitarian Policy Advisor Localization at Oxfam International. \nThe KUNO Covid-Café is a low-key webinar\, which you can enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee\, at the end of your work day. It’s a great opportunity to stay in touch on relevant developments within our sector\, and to discuss with the guest speakers via the chat in the webinar. You can also e-mail any questions you may have beforehand to kuno@kuno-platform.nl\, we will then do our best to incorporate them into the webinar.
