SUMMARY:TOWARDS A LANDMINE FREE WORLD
DESCRIPTION:Until November 20\, the photo exhibition Towards a Landmine Free World can be seen in the Atrium in the City Hall. This exhibition is organized in the context of the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC) that will take place from November 15 until November 19 at the World Forum in the Hague. \n\n\n\nMine Action This link opens in a new tabThis photo exhibition is organized in light of the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC). This UN Treaty is an important instrument in mitigating the use and impact of landmines. More than 60 countries and areas worldwide are faced with a landmine problem. Landmines and other explosive remnants of war still cause 10 to 15 victims every day\, of which almost half are children. In addition\, landmines make large areas unsafe for construction and agriculture. To improve the safety of people in mine-affected countries and to address the root causes of instability\, it is vital that countries invest in Mine Action. \n\n\n\nPresidency the Netherlands Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC)The Netherlands is the 8th largest donor worldwide in Mine Action. This past year\, the Netherlands was President of the APMBC This link opens in a new tab. During the Netherlands Presidency\, three important pillars were highlighted: Innovation – by supporting innovative solutions\, such as the use of 3D printed mines for training purposes. Inclusivity – by including all needs of mine-affected communities in demining\, with a specific focus on mental health and psychosocial support. (Local) Capacity Building – by sharing knowledge and expertise among mine clearance authorities worldwide. Every year States and organizations meet to discuss the progress of the Convention in a Meeting of States Parties (MSP). The 19th MSP will be held from 15 to 19 November 2021 in the World Forum This link opens in a new tab in The Hague. \n\n\n\nPartnersThe Netherlands supports six organizations that are committed to Mine Action: The United Nations Mine Action Service This link opens in a new tab (UNMAS); Humanity and Inclusion This link opens in a new tab (HI); The HALO Trust This link opens in a new tab; Mines Advisory Group This link opens in a new tab (MAG); Danish Refugee Council This link opens in a new tab (DRC)\, formerly known as Danish Demining Group (DDG); Geneva International Center for Humanitarian Demining This link opens in a new tab (GICHD). \n\n\n\nThe photos in this exhibition come from the partner organizations mentioned above and from the International Campaign to Ban Landmines This link opens in a new tab (ICBL)\, a global network of non-governmental organizations working towards a mine-free world. The photos were taken in different regions of the world: from Colombia and Burkina Faso to Iraq and Ukraine. The images show the various activities of Mine Action: from victim assistance and the clearance of mines and other explosives to risk education. All of these activities are essential to ensure that people can live in safe conditions and that mine-affected countries can recover economically and socially. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the City Council of The Hague This link opens in a new tab and is organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs This link opens in a new tab. \n\n\n\nAll people depicted in the photos have given explicit permission for the use of these photos. For photos of children\, explicit permission was requested and granted from a parent/guardian. \n\n\n\n\nRegister and read more

SUMMARY:Cities and their global networks - reshaping global governance and international law?
DESCRIPTION:The T.M.C. Asser Instituut cordially invites you to attend our dialogue and panel discussion to celebrate the publication of the ground-breaking Research Handbook on International Law and Cities\, by editors Helmut Aust (Freie Universität Berlin) and Janne E. Nijman (Asser Institute). During the event\, mayor of The Hague Jan van Zanen will receive the first hard copy. A panel of city network experts and international law scholars will discuss the Research handbook’s seminal findings\, followed by a Q & A and a reception. \n\n\n\nToday\, 54 per cent of the world’s population live in cities and towns\, and that number is growing every day. Cities and their networks aim to reshape international life\, for example by being at the table of climate change negotiations – including the upcoming climate change conference COP 26 in Glasgow – or by turning to the United Nations for support for their housing policies and attempts to protect life in cities against the aberrations of the global economy. \n\n\n\nThe role of cities in international law and governance is changing as well. Globalisation and urbanisation have affected cities and their relationship to the international. Within the context of the United Nations\, for instance\, the New Urban Agenda was adopted in 2016 in Quito\, pursuant to the Sustainable Development Goal 11\, which stipulates the ambition of the international community to ‘Make cities and human settlements inclusive\, safe\, resilient and sustainable’. While the international has ‘turned urban’\, cities turned global. \n\n\n\nDuring an early evening event on November 17\, we will discuss these developments first with the Mayor of the City of Peace and Justice\, Mr Jan van Zanen. Mr Van Zanen has been active in transnational city networks in various functions and can reflect on these developments from first-hand experience. The discussion will then continue with a panel of experts who will shed light on the role of cities and their networks from various angles. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\nPreliminary programme \n\n\n\n18.00 – Food for thought – appetizers & drinks \n\n\n\n18.45 – Welcome by Prof. Janne E. NijmanConversation with Mr Jan van Zanen\, Mayor of the City of Peace and Justice The Hague \n\n\n\n19.15 – Panel discussion (Moderator: Prof. Helmut Aust\, Freie Universität\, Berlin) \n\n\n\nDr Marlène Siméon\, Director of Operations\, Policy & Advocacy of The Council of European Municipalities and Regions in Brussels – CEMR is the oldest and broadest European association of local and regional governments. \n\n\n\nProf. André Nollkaemper\, Professor of International Law\, University of Amsterdam\, and the Dean of the Amsterdam Law School.Q&A \n\n\n\n20.15 – Concluding remarks by Janne Nijman and Helmut AustReception

SUMMARY:Jobtech for Youth Employment in the Middle East - An ecosystem approach
DESCRIPTION:As a global humanitarian organization\, Mercy Corps ventures beyond emergency aid to explore different areas of sustainable development\, including youth employment\, a critical and massive challenge that requires integrated approaches from a variety of stakeholders and investment from public and private sectors to shift the way we skill\, employ\, and empower youth in the global economy Jobtech is a key contributor to addressing this challenge. \n\n\n\nWe believe that Jobtech completes the formula between the push of labour supply\, and the pull of labour demand\, and presents unique scalable and sustainable solutions to how youth access income generation opportunities\, and how employers seek the best candidates they need with a high rate of success and efficiency. However\, Jobtech has yet to truly catalyse positive breakthrough solutions\, therefore\, it is essential to investigate and discuss the challenges that prevents Jobtech from reaching its full potential in the Middle East. \n\n\n\nUsing Lebanon\, Palestine\, Egypt and Jordan as the main case studies\, speakers representing both the technology\, the youth employment worlds\, and coming from policy making\, investors\, start ups\, research\, private sector\, programming and practitioner backgrounds will use the session to reach several outcomes. \n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Impact of COVID on Violent Non-State Actors
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday 18 November\, 1600-1730 (CET)\, ICCT is hosting an online Live Briefing on The Impact of COVID-19 on Violent Non-State Actors.   \n\n\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic has radically transformed the security landscape\, shaping the actions of both terrorist and counter-terrorist actors. To evaluate and predict these changes induced by the COVID-19 Pandemic\, researchers at Leiden University have surveyed 142 terrorism experts. \n\n\n\nBased on this survey\, this webinar will discuss some of the dominant assumptions amongst these experts on the impact of the pandemic on violent non-state actors. The project team – led by Dr Yannick Veilleux-Lepage – will be joined by three groups of experts discussing major themes arising from the survey. Dr. David Hofmann and Dr. Bàrbara Molas will discuss how violent non-state actors are adapting to the changing security environment. Dr. Leah West will discuss whether the pandemic has hampered states’ abilities to counter and respond to violent non-state actors. Dr. Eviane Leidig will discuss the implications and change in the nature of extremist propaganda during the pandemic. The webinar will be moderated by Dr. Teun van Dongen. \n\n\n\nThis event is partly funded by the Canadian Network for Research on Terrorism\, Security\, and Society’s small research project\, titled Surveying Expert Assumptions on Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic in the CT/CVE Field. \n\n\n\nThe briefing will be concluded with a Q&A. \n\n\n\nPresenter: Dr Yannick Veilleux-Lepage \, Assistant Professor of Terrorism and Political Violence – Leiden University \n\n\n\nModerator: Dr. Teun van Dongen\, Senior Research Fellow and Programme Lead\, Current and Emerging Threats – International Centre for Counter-Terrorism \n\n\n\nPanellists: \n\n\n\nDr. David Hofmann: Associate Professor of Sociology – University of New Brunswick \n\n\n\nDr. Bàrbara Molas: Postdoctoral Fellow – University of New Brunswick \n\n\n\nDr. Leah West: Assistant Professor of International Affairs – Carleton University. \n\n\n\nDr. Eviane Leidig: Research Fellow in the Current and Emerging Threats programme – International Centre for Counter-Terrorism \n\n\n\n\nRegister
