SUMMARY:Hague Talks: Achieving The SDGs: Mission Impossible or Yes We Can?
DESCRIPTION:We are at the halfway point of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals This link opens in a new tab (SDGs) set in 2015 by all 193 members of the United Nations. Will we reach them by 2030\, or will we fail to organize ourselves to generate the impact required? In a context full of mutually reinforcing crises (conflicts\, pandemic\, climate change…)\, are the SDGs a mission impossible? Or are there sparks of hope that mean we can still achieve these Global Goals? And if so\, what is required from each and all of us? What power and ideas do young people have for the future? And what motivates our speakers to pursue a career in global development\, despite the huge challenges? \n\n\n\nThis event is part of a visit Achim Steiner (UNDP Administrator) to The Hague. He will speak with young people\, civil society\, parliament and government to discuss how the Netherlands and UNDP can together generate lasting impact for a more just and sustainable world. \n\n\n\nAchim Steiner and Kitty van der Heijden (Director-General\, Dutch MFA) will also share their personal drives and share what they believe are the challenges and reasons for optimism. They will challenge the audience to think about what role each of us can play\, regardless of age or background. Of course\, they also look forward to being challenged by you! \n\n\n\nEvent is co-organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs This link opens in a new tab\, the United Nations Development Programme This link opens in a new tab (UNDP) and Leiden University – Campus The Hague This link opens in a new tab\, the Auditorium.

SUMMARY:Reparations: Lessons from the Past\, Challenges for the Future
DESCRIPTION:On 11 May\, this multidisciplinary event on reparations will bring together practitioners\, scholars\, and students\, in the year that marks the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Rome Statute (1998)\, which led to the creation of the International Criminal Court and the Trust Fund for Victims. \n\n\n\nParticipants will be invited to reflect about how reparations have changed in the course of the twentieth and twenty-first century\, and how they will continue to be shaped by diplomatic\, legal and academic consideration\, State and individual responsibility\, and victim agency.  \n\n\n\nReparations\n\n\n\nToday\, we almost take it as a given that survivors of severe forms of violence deserve some kind of reparation. The imperative to repair is an important principle in international law – one sanctioned by the United Nations General Assembly resolution 60/147 calling for “adequate\, effective and prompt reparation” in the wake of mass atrocities. \n\n\n\nBut the understanding that victims of mass human rights abuses deserve some form of reparation is a relatively recent one. And it underwent crucial shifts in the course of the twentieth century. But how do reparation programmes come to be? How can one assess their reparative value? To what extent can a historical perspective be of help when trying to gauge the present and future viability of reparative justice? \n\n\n\nRoundtable and debate\n\n\n\nDistinguished professor Beatrice de Graaf (History and Global Governance) will chair a roundtable discussion with: Lorena De Vita (History of International Relations)\, Thijs Bouwknegt (NIOD\, Institute for War\, Holocaust and Genocide Studies)\, Julie Fraser (Netherlands Institute of Human Rights)\, Fabián Salvioli (UN Special Rapporteur on Truth\, Justice and Reparation)\, and Henk-Cor van der Kwast (Permanent Representative of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the International Criminal Court). \n\n\n\nPieter de Baan from the International Criminal Court’s Trust Fund for Victims will lead a public debate and provide closing remarks\, followed by a short reception.  \n\n\n\nThe event will be hosted at Aula\, University Hall\, Utrecht.  \n\n\n\nThe event is co-organised by the Trust Fund for Victims/International Criminal Court and Lorena De Vita’s Alfred Landecker Foundation research project Holocaust Diplomacy: the Global Politics of Memory and Forgetting. \n\n\n\n\nMore Information and Sign Up Here

SUMMARY:Discussion: Holocaust Diplomacy\, Policy Makers as Memory Makers?

SUMMARY:Report Launch: Breaking the gender trap: Challenging patriarchal norms to build peace by International Alert
DESCRIPTION:In societies across the world\, power is held by men\, through cultural norms and customs that favour men and withhold opportunity from women. \n\n\n\nSuch patriarchal norms create narrow and limiting definitions of what it means to be a man or a woman\, which leads to gender inequality and disrupts social harmony. These norms often prioritise men’s perspectives and experiences\, denying women a voice and their human rights. As culturally ingrained aspects of society\, both women and men reinforce and suffer from the impacts of these rigid roles and behaviours. \n\n\n\nThe impact of these social constructs is far-reaching: they can be triggers for conflict within and between societies and worsen hopes for achieving sustainable peace. International Alert’s latest research in Kyrgyzstan\, Nepal\, Nigeria and the Philippines has found that patriarchal norms perpetually compromise peacebuilding efforts. \n\n\n\nTo address this challenge\, International Alert Europe is hosting a discussion on how to overcome patriarchal norms in peacebuilding. The conversation will focus on sharing effective strategies to challenge patriarchal norms within peacebuilding programming and ensure women are included in efforts to build peace. \n\n\n\nWe’ll hear from the author of the report on the themes emerging from the research in all four contexts and some of the ways Alert’s teams and partners approach gender norms and patriarchal power structures. For example\, how International Alert in Kyrgyzstan developed a Kyrgyz language gender lexicon to transform the way local communities talk about gender and empower women. We’ll also hear how the Netherlands addresses gender and patriarchal norms in its approach to supporting women\, peace\, and security. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\nKirsten Meersschaert\, Executive Director\, International Alert Europe (Moderator)\n\n\n\nFrank Groome\, Deputy Head of Mission\, Irish Embassy in the Hague (Welcoming remarks)\n\n\n\nPascalle Grotenhuis\, Ambassador for Gender Equality & Women’s Rights\, Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs\n\n\n\nShakirat Toktosunova\, Central Asia Director\, International Alert\n\n\n\nSwechchcha Dahal\, former Gender and Peacebuilding Adviser\, International Alert\n\n\n\n\nWe hope you can join us for this fruitful exchange on how we can collaborate to build more inclusive and sustainable peace. \n\n\n\nThe discussion will be 16:00 – 17:30 followed by a reception with food and drink. \n\n\n\nSign-up available here!
