SUMMARY:Launch Event: The North Korean Prison Database (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:A vast penal system stretches across North Korea. Hidden from the world\, industrial-grade violations of international law — from torture and widespread starvation to inhumane\, overcrowded\, and unsanitary conditions of detention — have led to catastrophic human consequences. \n\n\n\nUntil now\, little evidence from North Korea’s penal system had been gathered for the explicit purpose of holding accountable those implicated in crimes and violations. Rarer still was evidence that identified individual perpetrators and linked them to cases. \n\n\n\nIn the first phase of the most granular investigation ever conducted into North Korea’s penal system\, Korea Future has identified nearly 600 perpetrators linked to 5180 human rights violations committed against 785 detainees in 148 penal facilities. Join us as we share our findings\, explore prospects for accountability\, and release the North Korean Prison Database — an online archive of international law violations perpetrated across the North Korean penal system. \n\n\n\nNetworking and drinks to follow after the event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will also be moderated by Professor Remko Breuker This link opens in a new tab\, a historian of Korea and Northeast Asia from Leiden University.

Willem and Ivo will have a conversation on the current situation concerning Ukraine and the politics of president Putin. \n\n\n\nGeneral information:Time: April 5th from 18.30 hours till 20.00 hours.

SUMMARY:(Online) SDG16+ in Peril: A call-to-action for safeguarding commitments to Peaceful\, Just and Inclusive Societies
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Namati\, the TAP Network\, the Civil Society Platform for Peacebuilding and Statebuilding (CSPPS)\, CIVICUS and the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC)  \n\n\n\nThis online interactive workshop\, hosted by the Namati\, the TAP Network\, CSPPS\, CIVICUS and GPPAC\, will explore various emerging issues around SDG16+\, to identify areas where amplified actions are needed to safeguard commitments for implementation and accountability of SDG16+ in 2022 from governments\, the international community and civil society alike. \n\n\n\nBackground \n\n\n\nSince the adoption of the 2030 Agenda in 2015\, progress towards SDG16+ has been slow and uneven – and in many cases backsliding. On top of this\, global trends and forces continue to work against peaceful\, just and inclusive societies\, with political will from governments fading\, closing civic space\, and exclusion on the rise. The COVID-19 pandemic has placed unique pressures on the world’s governing institutions\, presenting once-in-a-generation challenges for all\, while exacerbating existing global\, existential challenges. Additionally\, urgent and ongoing threats to peace and security and international law have emerged in recent weeks\, as exemplified by events in Ukraine and recent coups in West-Africa\, threatening to undermine any progress made towards the 2030 Agenda overall\, and pushing governments into investing more in militarization\, and less on delivering results to improve peoples’ lives. And with authoritarianism on the rise\, the 2030 Agenda commitments on inclusive\, responsive and participatory decision making\, along-with respect for access to information and fundamental freedoms have also assumed greater significance.

SUMMARY:(Online) Why International Policies Should Link Climate\, Gender And Conflict 
DESCRIPTION:The climate crisis and the loss of biodiversity reinforce the context in which armed conflict can occur; crop failure\, water scarcity and pollution weigh on a society. The climate and biodiversity crises and related armed conflicts exacerbate existing gender inequalities. Conversely\, gender inequality\, whereby women\, men and gender non-conforming persons do not have equal access to food\, water\, and natural resources\, is also a root cause of armed conflict. \n\n\n\nThe nexus between the climate crisis\, conflict and gender requires a holistic perspective on foreign policy. It requires rethinking current (power) structures in policy making focusing on the viewpoint of people in vulnerable positions and the most marginalized\, yet also recognizing the powerful role women in all their diversity play in climate and security solutions. The only solution for robust climate-\, gender- and conflict policy coherence is having a Feminist Foreign Policy. \n\n\n\nDuring our interactive event our speakers will draw attention to the urgency of breaking the silos in international policies on climate\, gender and conflict. Speakers will include activists from the Global South\, representatives of INGOs and interventions from the Dutch Government. The second part of the session will require inputs from you\, the audience. This is where we explore how a Feminist Foreign Policy could support breaking silo thinking in international policies and enable sustainable change. \n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\nIntroduction of the FFP Summit (CFFP) \n\n\n\nPart 1: Setting the scene on the nexus between climate crisis\, conflict and gender \n\n\n\n(panel discussion) \n\n\n\nAmr Abdo Mohamed\, Conflict Sensitivity Policy Advisor\, Oxfam Novib \n\n\n\nEmma Whitaker\, Peace and Conflict Advisor\, Mercy Corps \n\n\n\nTBC: Intervention by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs \n\n\n\nPart 2: Exploration: how can Feminist Foreign Policy support breaking the silos \n\n\n\n(interactive session with the audience and panelists) \n\n\n\nClosing: recap via graphic recording \n\n\n\nModerated by Dewi Keppy\, programme manager Gender & Sustainable Economy WO=MEN & Anika Snel\, political coordinator WO=MEN
