SUMMARY:#DemocracyDrinks: Finding Wellbeing Through Ubuntu
DESCRIPTION:To kick off the #democracydrinks season\, on 24 September we have invited Dorine van Norren to speak about her research on global wellbeing and development viewed from the African philosophy of Ubuntu. \n\n\n\nUbuntu dictates that wellbeing is rooted in community. To achieve harmony in society\, one has to put the community before oneself. One’s happiness depends on the happiness of others —”I am because we are” or “humanity towards others” (in Zulu: umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu). \n\n\n\nWhat can we learn from Ubuntu and how can Ubuntu help shape development\, sustainability\, democracy and human rights? – where the western liberal view of democracy is much more focused on individual needs and happiness. But can one find happiness in a society that doesn’t put the community first? \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReserve a Spot!

SUMMARY:T.M.C. Asser\, ICCT:Advanced summer programme Terrorism\, counter-terrorism and the rule of law
DESCRIPTION:From Monday 26 to Friday 30 August 2024\, the T.M.C. Asser Instituut and the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT) will host the 14th Advanced summer programme on terrorism\, counter-terrorism and the rule of law. In this thought-provoking summer training programme you will focus on the international and domestic legal aspects of countering terrorism and violent extremism\, in inspiring and interactive classes by leading academics and practitioners in the field. Register now as seats are limited! \n\n\n\nOverviewFor the eighth consecutive year\, the Islamic State (IS) and its affiliated groups remained the deadliest terrorist organisation globally (Global Terrorism Index 2023). Terrorist attacks have become more deadly\, marking the first rise in lethality rate in the last five years. Notably\, the Sahel region in sub-Saharan Africa has emerged as the epicentre of terrorism\, with 43% of the global fatalities linked to terrorism occurring in this region (Global Terrorism Index 2023). \n\n\n\nIn the West\, ideological terrorism persists as the predominant and deadliest manifestation of terrorism. Although there has been a decrease in the overall number of attacks\, the year 2022 witnessed 14 fatalities\, all linked to individuals adhering to far-right views (Global Terrorism Index 2023). \n\n\n\nThe interconnected relationship between environmental decline and conflict is now evident as the majority of countries affected by terrorism are experiencing at the same time ecological degradation and climate-induced shocks (Global Terrorism Index 2023). \n\n\n\nAcross the world\, extremist and terrorist activities have continuously triggered an increase in security laws and measures. To prevent terrorism and violent extremism as early as possible\, states have grappled with defining terrorism and proscribing terrorist and extremist organisations\, introduced early prevention mechanisms\, and expanded domestic and international legal and policy toolkits to counter the ever-developing threat posed by terrorism and violent extremism. \n\n\n\nAre these measures effective and do they take into account victims’ rights and needs? Are these measures lawful\, legitimate\, and proportionate to their impact on the rule of law and human rights? What are the future threats and how can they be countered while respecting the rule of law and human rights? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLEARN MORE AND REGISTER

SUMMARY:NGO DEI: 90 Days of you\, Gwyneth Ho Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:About the Exhibition:\n\n\n\n90 Days of You\, Gwyneth Ho\, is a profound tribute to friendship\, resilience\, and the pursuit of freedom. The exhibition\, featuring 90 artworks by artist saar_voirvivre\, is a dedication to Gwyneth Ho – A Hong Kong social activist and former reporter who was convicted of subversion recently after a long detention period in Hong Kong of over thousand days. She worked for several news outlets\, including BBC China\, and is an alumna of the University of Amsterdam (UvA). \n\n\n\nsaar_voirvivre and Gwyneth Ho formed a deep bond during their time as classmates and roommates at the University of Amsterdam in 2018. After Gwyneth Ho returned to Hong Kong to participate in the legislative council primaries\, she was charged under the Hong Kong national security law and detained. During this period\, saar_voirvivre used her paintings to narrate their friendship and pay tribute to the relentless spirit of those fighting for Hong Kong’s democracy. The 90 paintings refer to the initially set 90-day case that tragically extended to over a thousand days of detention for Gwyneth.  \n\n\n\nThe color blue dominates the exhibition\, symbolizing Gwyneth’s name (藍)\, integrity\, resilience\, purpose and spirit. This color symbolizes for saar_voirvivre the many different emotions which go together with the story of their friendship. Blue symbolizes beauty\, melancholy and the sparks of hope and joy. It is a color with incredible depth and a perfect fit for this story.  \n\n\n\nOpening Day \n\n\n\nDate: Saturday\, July 27\, 2024 \n\n\n\nProgram: \n\n\n\n1. Opening speech: 1:30 PM \n\n\n\n2. Sharing session: 2:00 PM – 2:30 PM \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\nsaar_voirvivre – Artist \n\n\n\nLoretta Lau – Director of NGO DEI\n\n\n\nJoyce Man – China Expert at Amnesty Netherlands \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLEARN MORE This link opens in a new tab

SUMMARY:Just Peace Movie Night - War on Education
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next edition of Just Peace This link opens in a new tab Movie Nights! For this edition we will be partnering with Euroclio This link opens in a new tab (European Association of History Educators) to screen the film “War on Education This link opens in a new tab.” We will delve into the impact war (particularly in the Ukraine) has on history education and consequently the accessibility of good and nuanced education. \n\n\n\nAbout “War on Education” \n\n\n\nThe showing of the documentary ‘War on Education’ falls under the larger campaign to raise awareness and reflect on the impact of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine. \n\n\n\nThe makers highlight that\, “While the media often highlights the visible – Russian attacks on Ukrainian cites and the news from the frontline\, one critical aspect remains largely overlooked: the impact of war on education.” Creator Stefano di Pietro\, “was inspired to make “War on Education” after having made “Books not Bombs”\, a short film created in 2022\, aimed to gather the funds needed to print the schoolbook “Ukraine and the World”\, when the printing budgets of Ukraine were directed to the war effort.” \n\n\n\nThe documentary features the authors of the textbooks Ukraine and the World\, Iryna Kostyuk and Maryna Kaftan\, who organised interviews\, connected to policy makers\, and helped “find and clear archival footage.” Stefano Di Pietro emphasises that “Talking with many amazing Ukrainians during wartime\, I realised there was a much bigger story to tell\, one that connects to universal and timeless values that I deeply care about\, and I always try to communicate in my films.” \n\n\n\nMoreover\, the documentary features insightful interviews with prominent figures from international NGOs\, governmental bodies\, journalists\, and educators\, “War on Education” deeply covers this issue. The Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine\, as well as Emmanuelle Abrioux\, Chief of Education at UNICEF Ukraine\, and other notable characters in this field\, share their invaluable perspectives as well as possible solutions for the problem. \n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\nDoors open at 17:30. Drinks will be available to purchase at the café. The film screening will start at 18:00. The film will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A. After the formal programming we warmly invite attendees to stay for some casual networking and drinks. \n\n\n\nJust Peace Movie Nights are film screenings and discussions on important and current issues in the world of peace and justice. \n\n\n\nOn our panel we will be joined by the film creator Stefano di Pietro and Euroclio Director Steven Stegers. \n\n\n\nAdditionally\, we will be joined by the wonderful staff and participants of the Move4HumanRights This link opens in a new tab Summerschool. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSIGN UP HERE

SUMMARY:Just Peace Movie Night - Behind the Numbers
DESCRIPTION:Overview \n\n\n\nIn honour of International Pride Day\, Just Peace This link opens in a new tab in collaboration with Human Rights in the Picture This link opens in a new tab and Hivos This link opens in a new tab will be hosting a Just Peace Movie Night! We will be screening the documentary\, “Behind the Numbers This link opens in a new tab.” \n\n\n\nThis film\, created by Human Rights in the Picture made with director Andy Funnell for Hivos\, follows an intersex person from Zimbabwe\, Ronie\, a lesbian couple from Bangkok\, Anticha and Build\, and a trans person from the Netherlands\, Laura. All experience daily obstacles and challenges in the heteronormative society in which they live. \n\n\n\n#FreetobeME \n\n\n\nThe film was made for the Free to be Me program of Hivos\, which works in 14 countries around the world to better the socioeconomic position of LGBTIQ+ persons. The program supports the communities to advocate for fair laws and regulations and work to influence public opinion. \n\n\n\nProduction \n\n\n\nThe film was made in a climate-friendly way by using local film teams in Zimbabwe\, Thailand and the Netherlands while also paying attention to the representation of queer creators in the teams. This innovative way of making has led to a layering in the film that leads to great accessibility to the stories in the different countries of the Free to be Me program. \n\n\n\nThe film sheds light on and hopes to raise awareness for the socioeconomic exclusion of LGBTIQ+ persons. In the Netherlands tolerance and acceptance of LGBTIQ+ rights is decreasing\, as indicated by the countries drop on the Rainbow Map and Index. For these reason\, we find the need to discuss the issue of socioeconomic inclusion of LGBTIQ+ persons more important than ever. \n\n\n\nJust Peace Movie Nights are film screenings and discussions on important and current issues in the world of peace and justice. \n\n\n\nAttendees are welcome to buy drinks from the bar throughout the event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLEARN MORE AND REGISTER

SUMMARY:Lab of Labs: Workforce Integration of Refugees in The Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:In November 2023\, The Hague Humanity Hub members Piero Gandini This link opens in a new tab and Yiğit Aksakoğlu launched Lab of Labs This link opens in a new tab: a social laboratory for radical social transformation. The first laboratory sought to host a series of conversations and\, preferably\, actionable steps forward around labor integration\, representation\, and exclusion in the Netherlands. During the first session\, the Restorative Justice principles guided open conversations that fostered understanding and encouraged participation and reflection. This discussion was designed to prepare the scene for a more objective debate about inclusive hiring practices for organizations in peace and justice regarding refugees and asylum seekers. \n\n\n\nBetween March and May 2024\, we ran a survey to learn from Executives\, Managers\, and HR professionals about the current policies and labor participation dynamics within the peace and justice community of the Hague\, focusing on individuals with refugee status and those from minority backgrounds. \n\n\n\nThe survey answers are in\, and we’re eager to gather respondents and non-respondents at The Hague Humanity Hub to discuss the results and open the conversation beyond survey questions. \n\n\n\nThis session is open to all professionals interested in exploring what can be done to improve hiring practices and DEI policies and better understand the state of play for organizations in the Netherlands. \n\n\n\nFor more information or inquiries\, please contact info@pierogandini.com or programming@humanityhub.net \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER AND LEARN MORE

SUMMARY:KUNO: Tigray reviewed - Northern Ethiopia and the failure of the humanitarian collective
DESCRIPTION:About the event\n\n\n\n‘The international UN-led humanitarian system failed to protect the civilian population in Northern Ethiopia (Tigray\, Afar and Amhara) between November 2020 and April 2023.’ This is the indisputable conclusion of the independent evaluation\, commissioned by the Inter-Agency Humanitarian Evaluation Group\, performed by HERE Geneva and published in early June 2024. \n\n\n\nThe world witnessed large-scale sexual violence and civilians dying of starvation\, as humanitarian personnel were arrested\, detained and tortured. The Ethiopian federal government was highly effective at blocking aid; at the same time UN Agencies underperformed due to a lack of leadership in the response and an absence of clear reporting lines and accountability. \n\n\n\nThese critical constructive conclusions of the HERE-study (based on 186 interviews\, 44 focus group discussions and extensive document reviews) need careful reflection by the humanitarian sector. All the more\, as we witness in Sudan similar mechanisms that prevent the humanitarian sector from building an adequate response. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nEd Schenkenberg\, Director of HERE Geneva and leader of the evaluation team.\n\n\n\n\nEd will kick-off the working session by presenting the main results of the study\, after which we will have an open discussion. \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nTo join the session face-to-face please send an email to: kuno@kuno-platform.nl \n\n\n\nTo join the session online via ZOOM please sign up through the button below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSIGN UP FOR THE ZOOM SESSION

How can NGO’s and journalists limit their risks when publishing critical articles\, reports\, accusations and claims? Do SLAPPs occur in the Netherlands and how can those affected best protect themselves? \n\n\n\nOn Monday\, 10 June\, Pro Bono Connect is organizing an NGO workshop. Together with experts from our pro bono partner firm Bird & Bird\, representatives of the Coalition Against SLAPPs in Europe (CASE) & Free Press Unlimited\, we’ll learn about the rules\, risks and consequences regarding critical expression in public and exchange experiences. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE (BEFORE JUNE 3)

SUMMARY:Asser Institute: The right to health for women in armed conflict - addressing international law's role in the humanitarian crisis in Gaza
DESCRIPTION:“Women in Gaza resort to using scraps of tent in place of period products” reads an introduction by ActionAid\, an international organization providing on-the-ground humanitarian aid amidst the crisis in Gaza. According to a UN Report updated in February 2024\, around 700\,000 menstruating women and girls in Gaza have limited access to hygiene supplies. This scarcity\, compounded by a lack of water has increased infections to an unprecedented rate. Only a fraction of these essential requirements can be fulfilled by The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). This dire situation calls for immediate attention and action.  \n\n\n\nThis lecture will explore States’ existing obligations under international humanitarian law (IHL) and international human rights law (IHRL) in relation to the right to health in conflict\, specifically focusing on how these regimes intersect in the context of the conflict in Gaza. Our speakers will address pressing issues such as the lack of menstrual hygiene products and lack of sanitation and proper aid contributing to disease\, miscarriages\, and trauma. The lecture will also explore ways to enforce the international laws pertaining to Palestinian women’s health needs in the on-going crisis. \n\n\n\nConfirmed speakers: \n\n\n\n\nDr Fleur van Leeuwen\, Assistant Prof\, Bogaziçi University\, Dept. Political Science and International Relations\n\n\n\nYoumna El Sayed\, Egyptian-Palestinian journalist\, Gaza Strip correspondent for Al Jazeera English\n\n\n\nDr  This link opens in a new tabVaios Koutroulis This link opens in a new tab\, Professor\, Université libre de Bruxelles\, Centre for International Law\n\n\n\nModerator: Gabriela Radu\, Junior Researcher\, Asser Institute\n\n\n\n\nThe event is supported by the Royal Netherlands Society of International Law (KNVIR). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLEARN MORE AND SIGN UP
