Working Effectively in Conflict-affected and Fragile Situations Briefing Paper A: Analysing Conflict and Fragility

0

reliefweb.int -

This paper says that International actors must understand the country context and develop a shared view of the strategic response that is required. They should recognise the different constraints of capacity, political will and legitimacy, and differences between (i) post-conflict/crisis or political transition situations, (ii) deteriorating governance environments, (iii) gradual improvement and (iv) prolonged crisis or impasse. Sound political analysis is needed to allow more...

Resolving Iraqi Displacement: Humanitarian and Development Perspectives

0

brookings.edu -

‘Decades of insecurity and violence have led to the displacement of millions of Iraqi men, women, and children. About half remain within the borders of Iraq as internally displaced persons (IDPs), while the other half live in countries throughout the region. Finding durable solutions for internally and externally displaced Iraqis requires the support of a wide range of actors to advance national reconciliation, livelihoods, public services, rule of law, and economic recovery.The Brookings-Bern more...

Development Assistance, Institution Building, and Social Cohesion after Civil War

0

Using a randomized field experiment, this report assesses the effects of a community-driven reconstruction (CDR) project carried out by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in northern Liberia. It finds powerful evidence that the program was successful in increasing social cohesion, some evidence that it reinforced democratic political attitudes and increased confidence in local decision-making procedures, but only weak evidence that material well-being was positively affected.

The Military and Law Enforcement in Peace Operations : Lessons from Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo

0

se2.dcaf.ch -

This book has three objectives. It describes the role of NATO and EU military missions in law enforcement in BiH and Kosovo from the 1990s through early 2009, thus filling an empirical knowledge gap. By formulating a strategy for military involvement in law enforcement, the book also makes a normative contribution to the debate on peace operations. Drawing on, among other sources, interviews in these two ‘international protectorates’, the book shows that military support of the fight against more...

Conflict Management Strategies in Indonesia: Learning from the Poso Experience

0

humansecuritygateway.com -

The violence in Poso was triggered by an incident that took place on Christmas Eve in 1998. It involved fighting between a Christian and Muslim youth in which the latter was subsequently stabbed. Rumours quickly spread and soon assumed religious overtones dividing Muslim and Christian communities. Subsequent incidents triggered more riots and violence between the two communities. In the single bloodiest incident on 28 May 2000, Christian militias massacred 200 Muslim men hiding at the Walisongo more...

Children affected by Armed Conflict: Recommendations to the Security Council Working Group

0

crin.org -

The issue of child soldiers and other conflict related abuses against children should be considered within the context of the long armed conflict that has affected the country and the current post-conflict environment in which serious human rights violations continue to be reported. Despite the end of the war, the current environment in Sri Lanka is not conducive to the promotion and protection of the rights of children, including those affected by armed conflict who now face many challenges in more...

Early Recovery: An Overview of Policy Debates and Operational Challenges

0

reliefweb.int -

This paper argues that early recovery has functioned primarily as a way of framing activities, strategies and approaches that take place in humanitarian and transitional contexts, and that its added value is yet to be consistently proven. As early recovery has been used as a catch-all term for a broad range of issues, policy-makers and practitioners need to explicitly define what problem or set of problems they are seeking to address. This paper explores the evolution of early recovery as an more...

World Public Sector Report 2010: Reconstructing Public Administration after Conflict

0

unpan1.un.org -

The 2010 World Public Sector Report brings to the fore a very critical issue - how to reconstruct public administration in post-conflict situations so as to enable it to promote peace and development in countries that have been affected by civil war and destruction. It is a question that has remained unresolved for decades and has brought poverty, despair, and death to people in many corners of the world.

European Conflict Resolution Policies: Truncated Peace-Building

0

humansecuritygateway.com -

Many documents have highlighted the importance of the ‘security, governance and development’ trinity to Europe’s attempts to temper conflict and state fragility. The European Security Strategy and its 2008 update both identify these linkages as pivotal to more effective EU conflict resolution. Enough time has now passed for a stock-take and it is expected that considerable progress will have been made. This analysis suggests that, however, that European policies in situations of conflict or more...

The first chapter defines amnesties, describes their use and distinguishes them from other legal measures that bear some similarities to amnesties but which are not addressed in this tool. Chapter II summarizes the principal rules of international law and United Nations policy that should guide the more...

DR Congo: Improved Civilian Protection Activities Still Need Support

0

refugeesinternational.org -

This document argues that the security environment in the Democratic Republic of Congo has worsened dramatically with the launch of a military offensive against the FDLR rebel group associated with the former Rwandan genocidaires. This offensive has displaced hundreds of thousands of people throughout North and South Kivu provinces. In the face of this conflict, the UN peacekeeping mission to the Congo (MONUC) has been mandated to support the weak and often criminal Congolese military, the more...
