This discussion will draw on several recent publications and projects, including the International Review of the Red Cross’s double edition on “Counterterrorism, Sanctions and War,” the United Nations University’s project on “UN Sanctions and Humanitarian Action,” and the International Peace Institute’s policy paper on “Carving Out Space for Humanitarian Action in the UN Security Council’s Counterterrorism Resolutions and Related Sanctions.” All of these have called for confronting the continued challenges posed by Security Council sanctions to humanitarian organizations and offered solutions to address them.

This virtual discussion will provide the opportunity to reflect on the ways the Security Council has approached humanitarian action within both the ISIL/al-Qaida sanctions regime and conflict-related sanctions regimes.

On Tuesday, November 30th, IPI together with GWL Voices for Change and Inclusion is cohosting a policy forum on “Commemorating the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women: Addressing Perpetration at Social and Institutional Levels.”

Remarks will begin at 10:00am PST / 1:00pm EST

In 2021, violence against women (VAW) remains a major global issue. During the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions on movement prevented many women from escaping the perpetrators of VAW, who are often their partners. In addition, there have been ongoing cases of VAW perpetrated by the very people entrusted with women’s protection, including police officers sexually assaulting and killing young women in the UK and peacekeepers in conflict areas abusing their position of trust as protectors of host communities and representatives of the UN.

This event presents an opportunity to broaden the way VAW is typically viewed by focusing inward on the social, domestic, and institutional levels. In addition to discussing patterns related to VAW, panelists will highlight ways in which civil society has addressed these patterns and how the international community can support civil society efforts as well as promote reform from within its own institutions. Panelists will also provide insight on the role of multilateral institutions in creating agendas and partnerships to prevent VAW at all levels.

Speakers:
Susana Malcorra, former Minister of Foreign Affairs & Worship (2015–2017), Argentina; former Under-Secretary-General, UN Department of Field Support; member and co-founder, GWL Voices
Åsa Regnér, Deputy Executive Director for Policy, Programme, Civil Society and Intergovernmental Support, UN Women
Fatiha Serour, co-founder, Justice Impact Lab; former Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Somalia; member, Africa Group for Justice and Accountability; member, GWL Voices
