SUMMARY:Covid\, Emergencies and Transitions: The Impact of Emergency Law Responses to Covid-19 in Fragile Settings
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Stockholm Forum on Peace and Development 2021\, organised by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). \nThe coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic has reinforced or compounded conflict\, human rights violations\, disinformation efforts\, gender inequality and societal fractures. The emerging post-pandemic world risks being more violent and less democratic. Geopolitical tensions and unilateral action have increased\, while the need for collective action has become clearer than ever. The 2021 Stockholm Forum will explore novel approaches and solutions to promoting peace in the age of compound political\, social\, economic and environmental risks reinforced by Covid-19. \nEmergency law responses to Covid-19 have affected peace and transition processes in predictable and unpredictable ways\, and this session looks at the consequences for levels of violent conflict and democratic consolidation. The discussion will be around the results of practice-based research with opportunities for the audience to participate with questions and interactive tools. \nThe panel discussion will be hosted by International IDEA\, Edinburgh Centre for Constitutional Law\, and the Political Settlements Research Programme. \nHow have emergency law responses been adopted in fragile and conflict-affected settings? What has been the impact of the pandemic and emergency powers\, if adopted\, on: \n• Conflict dynamics \n• Scheduling and conducting of elections \n• Functioning of transitional state institutions \n• Inter-group dynamics in situations of deep division\, notably between the centre and the periphery. What factors may have been key in defining the type of impact that different countries and/or substate entities have suffered as a consequence of the pandemic and the resulting emergency law response? What are the implications for policy makers and peacebuilders? \nModerator: Prof. Tom Ginsburg\, University of Chicago \nSpeakers: \n\nDr. Sean Molloy\, Northumbria Law School\nProf. Fionnuala Ní Aoláin\, United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Counter-Terrorism\nDr. Adem Abebe\, International IDEA\nDr. Sonia Vohito\, Human Rights Activist\n\nRegister now. \nTo learn more\, this recent blog post gives some background and suggests four key areas of concern in the way emergency law responses might undermine transitions: Emergency Law Responses and Conflict-Affected States in Transition \nRegister for the Stockholm Forum on Peace and Development.
