Peace-Making and Peace-Building: Securing the Contributions of Women and Civil Society
Focus:
This session will increase the coherence and effectiveness of conflict resolution, peace-building, reconciliation, disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) strategies and peace-keeping efforts by focusing specifically on mechanisms to increase the effective participation of civil society organizations (CSOs), political minorities, and, in particular, the full and equal participation of women. Critical questions surrounding, and notable gaps in, the implementation of inclusive peace-building processes will be addressed. Particular focus will be given to efforts to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325, adopted in 2000, which recognizes the importance of including women in all peacekeeping and peace-building measures.
Participants will focus on mechanisms to close the gaps between rhetoric and policy, and between policy and implementation. The session will also give attention to strengthening and more broadly disseminating case studies and evidence that clearly demonstrates the practical benefits of including women, CSOs and political minorities in peace and security processes, and how to do so effectively. Additionally, comparative case studies will be shared and analyzed to extract key lessons, strategies and approaches-seeking elements that could be adapted to different contexts and successfully applied.
The program will emphasize strategies and mechanisms to close gaps in implementation, considering, amongst other things: the effectiveness of action plans at national and intergovernmental levels; the need for clear, specific and measureable commitments; the creation of accountability measures; successful means to raise awareness and understanding; the need for benchmarks and resource allocation; and, effective advocacy and coalition efforts. Participants will investigate specific aspects of peacemaking and peace-building processes, sharing experiences, successful practices and approaches, and working through common challenges.
Outcomes:
* The development of policy recommendations
* The creation and exchange of effective advocacy strategies
* Facilitate collaborative efforts and innovative approaches
* Articulation and exchange of ideas for changes in field-based practice
* Lay the groundwork for ongoing work on guidelines for participation of non-state actors in conflict resolution and peace-building
* The expansion of active networks and strategic alliances to achieve the goals of UNSCR 1325
* Advance peace and security processes through fuller participation of women, civil society and under-represented stakeholders.
Speakers:
Samra Filipovic-Hadžiabdic, Carolyn McAskie,
Monica McWilliams, Yoriko Meguro, Colin Munro, Pierre Schori et. al.
