Dates: juin 10, 2014 to juin 10, 2014
Location: Morning session at the Netherlands Permanent Mission to the United Nations, Afternoon session at the UN Secretariat Building Conference Room 3
On Tuesday 10 June, the Netherlands permanent mission to the United Nations will be hosting a Side Event entitled “Practices in and reflections on development, security, and peace in contexts of violent extremism and terrorism by government, civil society and community delegates”, which coincides with the fourth Review of the UN Counter-Terrorism Strategy in New York. This series of panel discussions is organised by the Human Security Collective (HSC) in collaboration with ICCT, the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC), West African Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP), Hedayah, Cordaid and the United Network of Young Peace builders (UNOY).
The purpose of this one-day side event is to bring together a number of experts to discuss the relations between security and development sectors and how strengthening these relationships can effectively reinforce policies and programmes aimed at countering violent extremism (CVE). The overarching theme of the panels is a multi-stakeholder approach to prevent and mitigate extreme violence, which is grounded in people’s needs and capabilities when dealing with sources of threats. The discussions at the side vent will inform future engagement on this issue, particular in relation to Pillar 1 of the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy of the UN.
All panels are free of charge, but spaces are limited and will be awarded on a first-come-first-served basis. Please RSVP mentioning your full name (as in passport), organisational affiliation and the panel you would like to attend to our colleague Siebrich Visser at siebrich@hscollective.org before 4 June 2014.
