SUMMARY:Ethics in the 21st Century | Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:UNESCO Chair on Science Education at Dragomanov Ukrainian State University\, in partnership with Tablet Academy Benelux and leading international experts in ethics\, presents a webinar series titled ‘Ethics in the 21st Century.’ \nThis series explores the foundations of ethics\, emerging global trends\, and contemporary ethical principles\, as well as their implications for education\, the public and private sectors\, government institutions\, and non-governmental organizations. Through expert-led discussions and practical insights\, the webinars aim to equip professionals\, educators\, policymakers\, and emerging young\nleaders with the knowledge and understanding needed to navigate ethical challenges and contribute to building a better world. The session brief and speaker bios can be found below: \n  \nINTRODUCTION TO ETHICS | Tuesday\, June 9\, 11:00 a.m. \nPRESENTER : DR. LESTER A. MYERS\nCO-HOSTS: PROFESSOR DENYS SVYRYDENKO AND BIJAY DHUNGANA \nThis session will introduce the subject of philosophical ethics in three parts: \n\nFirst\, it will discuss ethics as a social practice and a form of philosophical argumentation\, with attention to the distinction between normative and nonnormative ethics.\nSecond\, it will address common misconceptions about ethics by differentiating it from (a) mere opinion\, (b) self-interest and altruism\, (c) legal and professional standards\, and (d) organizational strategy.\nThird\, it will provide an overview of two major categories of ethical obligation: (a) justice and (b) prudential duties. The concluding portion of the session will present a concise rendering of this content in the form of five principles that can underwrite broad-based ethics education in personal\, organizational\, and societal contexts: (a) justice\, (b) care\, (c) responsibility\, (d) respect\, and (e) community\n\n	Join with this Zoom link\n	\nETHICS IN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT | Thursday\, June 11\, 10:30 a.m.\nPRESENTER: GUSTAVO L.

SUMMARY:Agenda Exhibition Israel/Palestine; Pain and Hope – the Search for Peace Begins with Listening
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition is open daily from 1:00 pm until 6:00 pm. Admission is free. \nThe agenda is still under development and may be subject to change. Please check the agenda again shortly before the indicated date. The links for signing up are not yet made. Until that moment signing up is also possible through awf@annalindh.nl \nBackground \nThis exhibition\, Israel/Palestine; Pain and Hope\, is organised by the Dutch civil society network of the Anna Lindh Foundation in cooperation with numerous organisations. The Anna Lindh Foundation is an intergovernmental organisation established in 2005 that emerged from the Euro-Mediterranean cooperation process initiated in 1995 with the Barcelona Declaration. \nThis process was preceded by important political developments\, including the Madrid Conference of 1991\, where the principle of “land for peace” became central. This principle formed the basis for the 1993 Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). The Barcelona Process subsequently developed into a Euro-Mediterranean partnership for peace\, cooperation\, and dialogue. This led in 2005 to the establishment of the Anna Lindh Foundation\, in which Israel and Palestine participate together with other European and Mediterranean countries\, in the hope of promoting mutual understanding and peaceful cooperation. \nThe exhibition was organised within a very short period of time. Everyone who feels involved with Israel and Palestine was invited to submit work to our selection committee. Every individual and organisation that contributed material is responsible for the views represented in their own contributions. The Dutch Network of the Anna Lindh Foundation emphasises the importance of listening with empathy to different perspectives without endorsing specific political solutions. \nWe present photography and photographs of artworks that reflect the immense pain experienced by both Jews and Palestinians. At the same time\, we must continue to hold on to hope for a just and peaceful future for Jews and Palestinians alike. We therefore explicitly invited participants to contribute works that express hope. \nAgenda \nOn Thursday June 18\, venue open at 15:30. Opening at 16:30. Award-winning Palestinian professional photojournalist\, filmmaker\, and media consultant Mohammed Zanoun will present one photograph of Gaza from before the war and two photographs taken after its destruction. Following this brief presentation Mariëlle Vavier\, Deputy Mayor and Alderman for Poverty Reduction\, Inclusion\, Healthcare and International Affairs in The Hague\, former mayor Wim Deetman\, former D66 Senator Hanneke-Gelderblom\, rabbi Asjer Waterman (LJG) and our Egyptian curator Dr. Afaf Badran will open the exhibition. After the opening Dr. Afaf Badran will take Deputy Mayor Vavier and other speakers to the exhibition. Space is limited. Registration is required. LINK eventbrite \nDue to the expected number of guests\, a second opening session will take place at 7:30 p.m. Unfortunately\, Deputy Mayor Mariëlle Vavier will not be able to attend this second opening. \nThe opening is intended as a space for encounter\, dialogue\, and reflection\, not as a demonstration. Therefore\, flags\, banners\, and other forms of protest expression are not permitted. The wearing of personal clothing and symbols\, including a keffiyeh\, pins\, and religious symbols\, is permitted. \nA second opening moment is on Friday June 19\, 19:30 – 21:30\, with the presentation of the Podcast Truly Heard with Hanneke Gelderblom-Lankhout and Palestinian journalist Taghreed Elkhodary\, born and raised in Gaza\, about compassion with others despite big differences in convictions. Podcast Stefan Flos explains how this podcast came about. After the presentation questions can be asked. Signing up required \nDialogue Evenings \nOn the following evenings\, from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm\, we are organising dialogue discussions. These are free of charge and open to the public. Some evenings will be conducted in Dutch\, while others will be in English. Participants are required to register online in advance. \nThursday 18 June \nPodcast Truly Heard with Jewish former D66 senator Hanneke Gelderblom and Palestinian journalist Taghreed Elkhodary\, born and raised in Gaza. The subject is compassion for people with whom we disagree. We will present the podcast. Podcast maker Stefan Vlos will explain how it was produced\, after which visitors will be able to ask questions to Hanneke\, Taghreed\, and Stefan. English with possible Dutch translation. [CONFIRMED] Registration: LINK eventbrite \nSaturday 20 June \nDialogue in Nes Ammim. A Christian community in northern Israel that brings Israelis from different backgrounds\, including religious backgrounds\, into dialogue with one another. The foundation facilitates and guides this dialogue in a completely apolitical manner. What is needed for this\, and what can we in the Netherlands learn from it? Here too\, conversations can sometimes feel uncomfortable because listeners may have certain expectations or assumptions. Do we dare to ask questions and truly listen? Are we still able to look at others with genuine curiosity? Nes Ammim puts this into practice in Israel and\, especially on this evening\, also in the Netherlands. Hanneke Gelderblom also hopes to be present. Participants will again be encouraged to take an active part in the discussion by asking questions. \nWithin Nes Ammim there is a conviction that taking political positions makes it more difficult to bring together participants with widely differing political views. Presentation of the dialogue village Nes Ammim in Israel\, where Jews\, Christians\, and Muslims with strongly differing views come together. Presentation in Dutch. [CONFIRMED] Registration: LINK eventbrite \nTuesday 23 June \nIs the Two-State Solution Still Viable? \nArabist and journalist Eildert Mulder has lost hope in a two-state solution and will present his proposal for a one-state solution in 20 minutes. Dr. Gershon Baskin of the Alliance for Two States remains convinced that the two-state solution is still possible and will respond to Mulder. Both will present their visions and engage in discussion with one another. Dr. Baskin lives in Israel and will participate online. Hanneke Gelderblom will also participate. Visitors will have the opportunity to ask questions. Language: English [CONFIRMED with both speakers] Registration: LINK eventbrite \nThursday 25 June \nA two-part podcast with Bart Wallet and Natascha van Weezel about peace initiatives. Part 1: What do civil society peace initiatives still mean in a time of war and ongoing threat? Part 2: Why do attempts at peace continue to prove so difficult? The role of politics and leadership in the Middle East and the tension between peace\, security\, and justice will be discussed. We will engage in discussion after seeing the podcast. Language: Dutch. Registration: LINK eventbrite \nFriday 26 June \nMeeting with award-winning Palestinian professional photojournalist\, filmmaker\, and media consultant Mohammed Zanoun\, who portrays the painful human consequences of conflict\, siege\, and starvation in Gaza. In addition\, Mohammed conducted academic studies examining the long-term effects of war on the region. In the line of duty\, he survived life-threatening injuries that caused severe facial and bodily trauma. Despite these profound physical challenges\, he returned to the field with unwavering determination to continue his mission and convey the truth to the world. Former D66 senator Hanneke Gelderblom will reflect on Mohammed’s work. Language: English [CONFIRMED] Registration: LINK eventbrite \nSaturday 27 June \nErik Tilanus and Ambassador Robert Bosch\, secretary and chairman of the CDA Middle East Members’ Council. How has the CDA’s position regarding Israel and the Palestinians changed since the founding of the CDA\, and how does the party navigate between the theory of its party programme and political practice? \nExplanation as to why the CDA Middle East Members’ Council has been invited specifically: they are members of the Dutch network of the Anna Lindh Foundation. This network is also open to Middle East-oriented working groups and committees from all political parties. Former D66 senator Hanneke Gelderblom will also participate in this discussion. Language: Dutch [CONFIRMED] Registration: LINK eventbrite \nDonations \nThis exhibition was made possible through a donation of €3\,936 from the Anna Lindh Foundation. We were therefore unfortunately not in a position to pay the photographers and artists. In addition\, we worked exclusively with volunteers. The total costs are not yet fully known\, but despite these voluntary contributions our costs are certainly considerably higher. We would therefore greatly appreciate your donation. There are three ways to contribute: \n	For families of participating photographers/artists in Gaza\n	\n	For the organisational costs of the Arab-West Foundation\, which is entirely dependent on donations. The foundation has ANBI (Public Benefit Organisation) status. \n	\n	For individual photographers/artists who contributed to this exhibition. \n	\nYour donations are greatly appreciated! \n	More information about the event

SUMMARY:#DemocracyDrinks: Sovereignty\, stabilization\, and the Venezuelan question
DESCRIPTION:The future of post-Maduro Venezuela: democratic transition or externally managed rule?\nSix months after the U.S. operation that removed Nicolás Maduro from office\, the basic question of what Venezuela is (politically and legally) remains unsettled. Delcy Rodríguez\, Maduro’s vice president\, sits in the presidential chair. Several senior figures from the previous government remain in their posts. Chevron is signing agreements in Caracas. Commercial flights have resumed. Political prisoners are being released in batches\, while hundreds are still subjected to cruel and inhuman treatment. Almost 8 million people are in dire need on humanitarian assistance. And the U.S. administration has stated it will “run the country” until a transition it considers ‘acceptable’ can be organised. \nThis edition of #DemocracyDrinks examines whether what is unfolding meets the conventional definition of a democratic transition\, or whether it more closely resembles the post-intervention administrative arrangements seen in other contexts\, where formal sovereignty coexisted with substantial external decision-making over security\, economic policy\, and institutional design. The two are not mutually exclusive\, and the literature on post-conflict state-building suggests that the distinction often becomes legible only in retrospect. \nMeet the speaker: \nVictoria Capriles\, visiting research fellow at the Asser Institute and researcher\, legal practitioner\, and human rights advocate specializing in international migration\, gender-based violence\, and forced displacement from Venezuela\, will explore: \n\nFrom an international human rights law point of view: what frameworks actually govern the current arrangement\, what role UN mechanisms have played or been sidelined from\, and how transitional justice is (or isn’t) being structured.\nFrom the practitioner side: how donor priorities\, partnership architectures\, and stakeholder engagement shape the realities on the ground\, often more decisively than formal political settlements.\n\nCecilia Rivero\, peacebuilding and governance professional based in The Hague\, with experience in program management\, partnership development\, and facilitation across Venezuela and internationally\, will be the moderator of this event. \nCome ready to ask uncomfortable questions and leave with a more grounded understanding of one of the most complex political moments of our time. \nThe Hague Humanity Hub\n	Register now! This link opens in a new tab\n	\nWhat are the #DemocracyDrinks? \n#DemocracyDrinks is an informal\, recurring conversation and networking series bringing together people working on democracy\, peace\, justice\, and democratic participation. \nThe format is intentionally simple: open\, dialogue-led conversations in a relaxed setting. #DemocracyDrinks The Hague provides space to connect across sectors\, test ideas\, explore emerging questions\, and reflect collectively on democratic challenges beyond formal panels or presentations. \nLaunched by Defend Democracy in Brussels in 2018\, #DemocracyDrinks now takes place in cities around the world. Editions in The Hague have brought together a diverse mix of practitioners from NGOs\, international institutions\, think tanks\, government\, and civil society. The Hague series is co-organised by the Netherlands Helsinki Committee (NHC)\, the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy (NIMD)\, and The Hague Humanity Hub (THHH). \nInterested in hosting your own edition?

SUMMARY:[Panel discussion] Russia's weaponisation of sexual violence against men in Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Sexual violence in conflict is systematically underreported — especially when the victims are men. This panel discussion brings to light one of the least visible dimensions of Russia’s war against Ukraine: the deliberate use of sexual violence against male detainees as a weapon of war. \nBased on testimonies from 212 Ukrainian men held across five oblasts who have been subjected to sexual violence during their detention\, International Partnership for Human Rights (IPHR) and Truth Hounds present the reportTruth Beneath Silence: Russia’s Weaponisation of Sexual Violence Against Men in Ukraine. \nThe study showcases evidence of a large network of detention facilities that Russian forces established on occupied Ukrainian territories to administer torture and sexual violence against men in Ukraine. \nThe authors show how Russian forces use this tactic on an unprecedented scale against Ukrainian men\, aiming to break the civilian population and eliminate resistance. \nThe event brings together survivors\, legal experts\, civil society representatives\, and government stakeholders to discuss the report’s key findings and explore concrete pathways to justice and accountability. \nReport authors: \n\nInternational Partnership for Human Rights (IPHR)\nTruth Hounds\n\nSpeakers \n\nAndriy KOSTIN\, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the Kingdom of the Netherlands\nLaimonas TALAT-KELPŠA\, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Lithuania to the Kingdom of the Netherlands\nKate Orlovsky\, Director\, Hague Office\, International Bar Association\nAndrii Latsyba\, Legal Counsel\, Truth Hounds\nEvan Harary\, Legal Counsel\, Truth Hounds\nMariam Bezhanishvili\, Senior Legal Officer\, IPHR\nAnna Sosonska\, Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine\nDr Ewelina U.

SUMMARY:Discussion on Environmental Harm in Armed Conflict\, Accountability and International Cooperation and Presentation of the Manual for Prosecuting Environmental Crimes
DESCRIPTION:Marking three years since the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam\, this high-level event organised by the Ukrainian Embassy in The Hague will bring together Ukrainian authorities\, international organisations\, legal experts\, investigators\, scientists\, civil society and practitioners working on accountability for massive environmental harm. \nThe session will combine two strands: a discussion anchored on the Kakhovka Dam case\, and the presentation of the Manual on Prosecuting International Environmental Crimes\, inspired by the investigations in Ukraine and authored by Climate Counsel and UCLA’s The Promise Institute for Human Rights (Europe). \nTogether\, the discussion and the Manual aim to translate hard-won experience from Ukraine into shared methodology and to advance accountability for environmental war crimes through stronger international cooperation. But the Manual’s scope is wider than its origins. It addresses both war crimes and crimes against humanity: the former committed in conflict\, the latter being charged in peacetime as well. \nThe discussion takes place against the backdrop of evolving international approaches to accountability for environmental harm in armed conflict\, including the recent policy of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court on addressing environmental damage through the Rome Statute. \n	Register now

Across sectors such as human rights\, peacebuilding\, migration\, social innovation\, accessibility\, arts and culture\, and civil society\, conversations around inclusion and representation are increasingly relevant to how communities function and grow. \nThis edition of Community Drinks creates an informal and welcoming space where different perspectives\, lived experiences\, and ideas can come together openly. Rather than approaching inclusion as a purely institutional concept\, the evening focuses on the everyday practices\, conversations\, and connections that help people feel seen\, heard\, and able to participate meaningfully in shared spaces. \nThrough short spotlights and open discussion\, we will explore questions such as: \n\nHow can diverse perspectives strengthen collaboration\, creativity\, and social impact?\nWhat role do accessibility\, representation\, and belonging play in shaping stronger international communities?\nHow can informal spaces and networks create opportunities for connection\, participation\, and change?\nThe programme aims to foster thoughtful exchange across disciplines\, sectors\, and experiences — while creating space for new connections\, reflection\, and collaboration in a relaxed community setting.\n\nWho are the speakers? \n\nStichting Queer Mind is a dedicated organization working to combat homelessness and insecurity among LHBTIQ+ youth in the Netherlands. With a mission to foster self-reliance and inclusion\, the foundation envisions a society where everyone\, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity\, can live safely and participate fully.\nGender Concerns International has the mission to promote gender equality at a policy-making level. That includes collaborating with national authorities and institutions\, as well as bridging the interaction gap between local women organisations and the national policymakers.\nJustice & Peace Netherlands is a human rights organization dedicated to defending and promoting respect for human rights and social justice globally and within the Netherlands. Their work is focused on building and strengthening local communities so that they can take action to create just\, sustainable\, and welcoming societies.\n\nWho is it for? \nIf you are interested in connecting with people and their work towards a more peaceful\, just and sustainable world\, this event is for you. Whatever your role or sector\, join Community Drinks to relax\, exchange perspectives\, and connect with this vibrant community committed to making the world more peaceful\, just and sustainable\, one conversation at a time. \n	Register now!
