SUMMARY:KUNO Roundtable: Localisation of humanitarian aid in Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:KUNO is hosting a roundtable at Cordaid to discuss the status of the localization of humanitarian aid in Ukraine\, access to humanitarian financing\, and the quality of the partnerships between Ukrainian and international humanitarian actors. Why is it so difficult to cut the bureaucracy? How can local civil society actors be involved with setting the priorities? How can the system be changed in which international organisations are pressured to distribute aid quickly and reach as many people as possible\, even if this fails to meet Ukrainians’ real needs? And can we learn from examples where Ukrainian civil society organisations do have direct access to financing and where international and Ukrainian organisations complement each others work in the humanitarian response?  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore details and sign up information

SUMMARY:The London Story "how to stand up to an army: Meet HRD Babloo Loitongbam"
DESCRIPTION:On March 28\, 15:00\, join us at the Humanity Hub for a lecture and Q&A with Babloo Loitongbam\, a human rights defender from India. \n\n\n\nBabloo is the Director of Human Rights Alert and has been fighting to defend human rights in Manipur\, a conflict zone in the north east of India\, for 30 years now. He was also a Fulbright Scholar and is an Ashoka Life Fellow. \n\n\n\nBabloo has been fighting against the draconian Armed Forces Special Powers Act\, which has been repeatedly condemned by the United Nations. As the Act grants impunity to the army\, the conflict in Manipur costs the life of one civilian per 100\,000 a year. Babloo and his team have meticulously documented evidence of 1528 cases of extrajudicial killings of civilians by security forces\, and pushed India’s Supreme Court to appoint a fact-finding committee to investigate six of these cases. Without Babloo\, widows whose husbands have died through extrajudicial killings would not have received any compensation at all. \n\n\n\nBabloo is a fierce defender of human rights towards these armed forces\, and has withstood death threats. Babloo bases his methods on Gandhi’s form of nonviolent resistance and employs all legal means offered by the Indian State and international organisations. \n\n\n\nJoin us at the Hague Humanity Hub as Babloo speaks about the long fight against the Indian military\, and how not just human rights defenders\, but civilians are framed and targeted as terrorists. He will further speak on institutionalised state impunity\, and be available to answer your questions about human rights in India. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore information and sign up here

SUMMARY:T.M.C. Asser Institute Lecture:
DESCRIPTION:On April 20\, 2023\, Professor Fakhri will deliver the 8th Annual T.M.C. Asser Lecture in the Peace Palace in the Hague. The title of his lecture is: ‘The right to food\, violence\, and food systems’. To allow for a better understanding of how food systems operate and to reframe how the right to food is addressed in international law\, Michael Fakhri will examine forms of violence in food systems in his lecture. \n\n\n\nAbout the 8th Annual T.M.C. Asser Lecture\, Michael Fakhri writes: “Drawing on my work as Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food and my upcoming report to the Human Rights Council\, I will outline a way out. I will explain how systems not only produce food but also amplify and produce forms of violence that make people more poor\, vulnerable\, and marginalised. I also describe how food systems rely on a global economy of dependency and extractivism. In sum\, food systems are part of a cycle between structural inequality and systemic violence causing wide-spread human rights violations. I will address the war in Ukraine to highlight how international markets amplify rather than abate violence\, creating global shocks from a regional war.”   \n\n\n\nMr. Michael Fakhri\, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food since 2020\, is a professor at the University of Oregon School of Law where he teaches courses on human rights\, food law\, development\, and commercial law. He is also the director of the Food Resiliency Project. He investigates key environmental and policy issues relating to all stages of the food system\, including production\, transportation\, packaging and consumption. Mr. Fakhri has taught courses on the right to food at Harvard Law School\, European University Institute\, and the University of Arizona Indigenous Governance Program. He has lectured on international human rights and development topics at universities around the globe. Mr. Fakhri has further led public dialogues on human rights and development. During his practice as a lawyer\, Mr. Fakhri fought for the rights of people who were indigent and incarcerated in a psychiatric institution. He is the author the book ‘Sugar and the Making of International Trade Law’\, and co-author of ‘Bandung Global History and International Law: Critical Pasts and Pending Futures’ (co-edited with Vasuki Nesiah and Luis Eslava). \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore information can be found here

SUMMARY:The Hague University of Applied Sciences: Presentation Clara Meijer-Wichmann Medal
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, the League for Human Rights awards the Clara Meijer-Wichmann Medal to a person or group that has made a special case for human rights in the Netherlands. Because human rights are not self-evident in the Netherlands either. The surcharge affair is an example of this. \n\n\n\nIn 2022\, the medal was awarded to Chermaine Leysner\, Renske Leijten and Pieter Omtzigt. Their enormous commitment to combating the violation of the fundamental rights of users of the childcare allowance was the reason for this. \n\n\n\nOn October 30\, 2022\, the medal was already awarded to Renske Leijten and Pieter Omtzigt (read the report here ). Sadly\, Chermaine Leysner\, as a representative of all parents fighting for their rights\, was prevented by illness at the time. On March 30\, we will put her in the spotlight and award her the medal during a second event. Renske Leijten and Pieter Omtzigt\, both members of the House of Representatives\, will also be present. \n\n\n\nThis event is a collaboration between the League for Human Rights\, Faith in Human Rights\, study association Trinitas and knowledge center Global and Inclusive Learning. \n\n\n\nThe award ceremony / programme is in Dutch\, but the discussion can be in English if audience members indicate so. \n\n\n\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Survivor-Centred Care Provision in Conflict Zones: Insights from Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Join us this Thursday (30 March) for a Knowledge Sharing session with Fedir (Freddy) Dunebabin\, Programme Manager in Ukraine with the Dr Denis Mukwege Foundation. Reflecting on his experiences in Ukraine\, Freddy will share challenges of coordinating and delivering care to survivors of sexual violence in an ongoing conflict and how humanitarian workers and other partners can support survivors better in the future. \n\n\n\nFreddy will share his experience in working with the Ukrainian survivors network: SEMA Ukraine\, and with the Ukrainian government\, to establish a clear path for survivors of sexual violence to access help\, while minimising risks of further harm. Without coordinated holistic referral pathways\, survivors of conflict-related sexual violence may be subjected to re-traumatisation by a variety of care providers\, including hospital staff and security forces\, who may ask them to repeat their stories of assault multiple times while referring them from one facility to another. The Mukwege Foundation team will share key elements necessary for ensuring survivor-centred holistic care for victims of conflict-related sexual violence\, based on their experiences in Ukraine and elsewhere. \n\n\n\nAbout Freddy Dunebabin and The Dr. Denis Mukwege Foundation \n\n\n\nFreddy Dunebabin is the Programme Manager in Ukraine at the Dr Denis Mukwege Foundation in Ukraine. The Dr. Denis Mukwege Foundation is committed to supporting Ukraine in implementing comprehensive survivor-centred holistic care\, in the current context and its team has extensive expertise in this field. \n\n\n\nThe Dr. Denis Mukwege Foundation is an international human rights organisation working together with survivors of conflict-related sexual violence from around the world. Drawing attention to the most shameful crimes committed during conflicts\, the Foundation envisions a world in which sexual violence as a weapon of war is no longer tolerated. Together with its special adviser\, the Congolese gynaecologist and women’s rights activist Dr Denis Mukwege\, the Foundation works for a future where survivors worldwide receive the holistic care they need and obtain reparations; where they have the freedom to speak out and organise globally to end wartime sexual violence. \n\n\n\nSign up is available here and via the button below. \n\n\n\nPlease note that this event is for members of the Humanity Hub only! If you are not a member but would be interested in membership\, please contact community@humanityhub.net. \n\n\n\n\nSign up here! This link opens in a new tab
