South Sudan and Sudan Back to War? A View from Juba

0

humansecuritygateway.com –

The recent volatility of the Sudan-South Sudan relationship raises important questions about why peace and stability between the two countries is so tenuous. From interviews conducted in Juba, South Sudan’s leaders appear open to continued talks and to the establishment of improved relations with Khartoum, especially in response to international pressure to do so. But there is a perceptible shift within the leadership in Juba toward disengagement with Sudan.

About 400 people are displaced every day in Afghanistan. With the conflict intensifying in recent years, entire communities have fled their homes in search of greater security – and their numbers are rising.

Africa has become a testing ground for international justice and international criminal justice in particular.

Stabilization and Reconstruction After Iraq and Afghanistan

0

humansecuritygateway.com –

The following conversation derives from an on-line chat between Global Forecast editors and two CSIS scholars on what stability operations might look like under the next administration. As Washington debates the pace of withdrawal from Afghanistan, it may be time to look back and ask what we have learned as a country after a decade of massive state-building operations.

Exclusion: A Hidden Driver of Pakistan's Fragility

0

humansecuritygateway.com –

Deeply entrenched patterns of political, social and economic exclusion are fuelling Pakistan’s fragility. Large segments of the population are denied basic rights, access to resources, or a political voice based on their identity or location. This creates grievances that motivate people to violence. It also perpetuates Pakistan’s elite and unaccountable governance, which itself is a major cause of instability.

International Human Rights and Humanitarian Law in the Global Legal Order

0

humansecuritygateway.com –

Within Norwegian defence and foreign policy, the establishment of an international legal order and the global rule of law have been identified as key objectives. As articulated in various Norwegian policy documents and statements, these objectives appear to presume (i) that there exists a harmonious and complementary relationship between human rights and humanitarian law, and (ii) that the convergence of the two bodies of law is necessarily a good thing. This policy brief provides a contextual more...

Young People's Perspectives on Identity, Exclusion and the Prospects for a Peaceful Future in Central Asia

0

humansecuritygateway.com –

The post-Soviet generation in Central Asia represents an important demographic, both in terms of its size and as a potential driver of conflict, or of peaceful development, in the region. Central Asian countries have a high proportion of under 24 year olds. This generation is now coming of age and is often at the forefront of religious, political and social struggles. The group has grown up and matured in a completely different political and historical context to previous generations: today's more...

The Role of Women in Israeli-Palestinian Peace Negotiations

0

humansecuritygateway.com –

It is clear that there has been minimal improvement in terms of the role of women in peace negotiations during the decade between the adoption of UNSC Resolution 1325 and the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011. The reasons are almost impossible to pinpoint: it may be the distrust of women's agendas, the belief that women have an inferior understanding of warfare, military affairs, and conflict resolution, or even the perceived emotional weakness of women.
