SUMMARY:Interim or Transitional Arrangements: Addressing Dilemmas for International Support
DESCRIPTION:Register now on Eventbrite. \nPeace and transition processes are often managed by putting in place ceasefires and interim governance arrangements. The interim governance arrangements are tasked with administering the country on a provisional basis until a new government can be appointed by a regular political process\, and putting in place a series of reform processes: security sector\, constitutional\, transitional justice. \nIn fact\, this modality of ending conflict is more often used than trying to broker a ‘big bang’ comprehensive peace agreement. \nIt is used to address very different types of conflict: \n\nviolent conflict\, one-sided violence from authoritarian states\nand social crisis that can erupt when an incumbent fails to quit after-losing elections\, or for other reasons.\n\nJoin us as we explore various aspects of interim transitional arrangements – focusing on the role of international actors\, in supporting them and sustaining them. \nThis event will launch and in a sense conclude a series of publications and events which PSRP and its partners have been involved in\, drawing together key findings. \nChair: Kimana Zulueta-Fuelscher\, Acting Head of Constitution-Building\, International IDEA.  \nPanelists \nIntroduction to Issue: Christine Bell\, Professor of Constitutional Law at Edinburgh Law School and the Director of the Political Settlements Research Programme. \nJago Salmon\, Head of UN Resident Coordinators Office in Sarajevo\, co-author of Pathways for Peace: Inclusive Approaches to Preventing Violent Conflict (2017\, World Bank/UN)\, and author of Moving From Conflict: the Role of International Actors in Transition Management (2020\, PSRP). \nSumit Bisarya\, Constitutions Advisor\, UNDPPA\, and Former Head of Constitution-Building Processses Programme at International Idea. See key report: Interim Governance Arrangements in Post-Conflict and Fragile Settings (2020). \nKatia Papagianni\, Director for Policy and Mediation Support\, Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue\, and author of Power sharing\, transitional governments and the role of mediation. \nFormat \nThe event will consist of an introduction and panel discussion\, bringing insight from diplomatic\, constitution-making and mediation fields\, drawing on country experience\,  followed by opportunity for discussion. \nThis event will be held on Zoom\, with joining links emailed to registered participants. The presentation element of this event will be recorded and made available after the event. \nThis event is the final instalment of the Peace Talks webinar series from the Political Settlements Research Programme at the University of Edinburgh Law School. \nRegistration \nRegister now on Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Roundtable on Women’s Rights in Armed Conflict under International Law
DESCRIPTION:Register now on Eventbrite. \nJoin the Transitional Justice Institute\, the Political Settlements Research Programme\, and special guests for a roundtable event celebrating the launch of Dr Catherine O’Rourke’s new monograph\, Women’s Rights in Armed Conflict under International Law (Cambridge University Press\, 2020). \nWomen’s Rights in Armed Conflict under International Law examines the protection of women’s rights in armed conflict under international humanitarian law\, international criminal law\, international human rights law and the United Nations Security Council. Through a series of case studies (DRC\, Colombia\, Nepal) and emblematic violations\, the research identifies and proposes several opportunities to strengthen the legal status of specific protections to women’s rights; to improve how key institutions comply with and implement their own guarantees of women’s rights; to improve coordination amongst key institutions; and to maximise the strengths of different monitoring and enforcement procedures in order to enhance the overall protection of women’s rights in conflict under international law. A policy brief drawn from the book is also available. \nFeaturing special guests including: \nMadeleine Rees\, Secretary-General of Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom \nAdrian Johnson\, UK Foreign\, Commonwealth & Development Office \nVanessa Murphy\, International Committee of the Red Cross \nEmily Kenney\, UN Women \nCatherine O’Rourke\, Director of the Transitional Justice Institute at Ulster University \nChristine Bell\, Professor of Constitutional Law at Edinburgh Law School and Director of the Political Settlements Research Programme \n  \nRegister now on Eventbrite. \n

SUMMARY:Global Ungovernance
DESCRIPTION:This event will explore the emerging concept of ungovernance: how it works\, what it is good for\, its potential downsides\, and its implications for programs of institutional change. \nRegister now on Eventbrite. \nJoin PSRP\, the Edinburgh Centre for International and Global Law\, and special guests for the launch of a new special issue of Transnational Legal Theory on “global ungovernance”\, edited at Edinburgh Law School. \nWe all know by now that legal and institutional change is profoundly complex\, deeply political\, and impossible to predict. And we keep pursuing it in the face of that knowledge. A new collection of papers\, part of a special collection in Transnational Legal Theory\, explores whether this tension is not a quirk\, but a constitutive feature\, of a particular mode of institution-building. Studying the fields from post-conflict peacebuilding\, to transitional justice\, to environmental governance\, the authors identify practices that sustain a commitment to institution-building while simultaneously embracing the impossibility of doing so. These practices lead to institutional irresolution\, unsettlement\, and provisionality (or forms of “un-governance”). The discussion explores how un-governance works\, what it is good for\, its potential downsides\, and its implications for programs of institutional change. \nIn this event\, contributors to the special issue will host a panel discussion on global ungovernance\, focusing on defining ungovernance\, the ungovernance of peace\, public law techniques of ungovernance\, and more. \nThis event is organised by the Political Settlements Research Programme in collaboration with the Edinburgh Centre for International and Global Law and the Austrian Study Centre for Peace and Conflict Resolution. The event will consist of a panel discussion followed by an opportunity for questions from the audience. The event will be held on Zoom. Joining instructions will be sent to registered participants. \n\n\nSpeakers\nEvent chair Prof Andrew Lang is Professor of International Law and Global Governance at Edinburgh Law School. \nProf Christine Bell is Professor of Constitutional Law at Edinburgh Law School and the Director of the Political Settlements Research Programme. \nDr Deval Desai is Lecturer in International Economic Law at Edinburgh Law School. \nDr Jan Pospisil is the Research Director of the ASPR and lecturer for political science at the University of Vienna\, and a co-investigator at the Political Settlements Research Programme. \n\n\n\n\nRegistration\nRegister now on Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:PeaceTech and Data4peace: What are we learning?
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we explore key insights into PeaceTech\, the interdisciplinary field using data for peace.   \nThis introductory event will draw on PSRP’s work and partnership to offer key insights and learnings from the PeaceTech team at the University of Edinburgh\, including: \n\nWhat is PeaceTech? How can technology help facilitate inclusive peace\, and what is the new potential regarding data analysis?\nData on peace processes: What are the new possibilities for data collection\, analysis\, and connectivity: what can we do with data on peace and conflict now that we couldn’t do 10 years ago?\nWhat types of interdisciplinary and research-practice-tech teams are needed to produce effective PeaceTech projects?\nWhat lessons have we learned about designing an effective collaborative PeaceTech project in the ‘data’ space?\n\nWe will share key learnings and examples from our PeaceTech work\, including our Covid-19 Ceasefires Tracker\, a publicly available digital tracking tool to examine the consequences of the coronavirus outbreak on peace processes and armed conflict across the world. The tool monitors the progress of ceasefires alongside live data on infection rates in country. The data can be viewed in a timeline format\, a search browse format\, and a map format which also includes live data on infection rates in country. \nThe University of Edinburgh’s PeaceTech team is a unique collaboration between peace builders\, data scientists\, and many others who are helping shape the PeaceTech space\, using cutting-edge technologies and data to build digital platforms that facilitate inclusive peacebuilding.  \nFeaturing Prof Christine Bell\, Dr Sanja Badanjak\, Dr Devanjan Bhattacharya\, and Fiona Knäussel from the Political Settlements Research Programme\, with special guest Dr Benjamin Bach\, Lecturer in Design Informatics and Visualization at the Bayes Centre\, School of Informatics\, University of Edinburgh\, as event chair. \nThis event will be held on Zoom.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to the Amnesties\, Conflict and Peace Agreement Database
DESCRIPTION:How and why are amnesties used in response to conflict\, and how can choices within amnesty design complement inclusive peacebuilding? \nIn this webinar\, Prof Louise Mallinder of Queen’s University Belfast will introduce the new Amnesties\, Conflict\, and Peace Agreement Database (ACPA) that she has created in conjunction with PSRP. ACPA covers amnesties that were granted during ongoing conflicts\, as part of peace negotiations\, or in post-conflict periods between 1990-2016. Prof Mallinder’s presentation will use the findings from this database to demonstrate the diversity in how and why amnesties are used in response to conflict and to explore how choices within amnesty design can complement inclusive peacebuilding. \nRegister now on Eventbrite. The webinar will be held over Zoom\, with joining links emailed to registered participants ahead of the event. \nThis event is part of PSRP’s Peace Talks webinar series\, which will run from October 2020 – March 2021.
