Innovative thinking on strategic approaches to conflict management

Organized by:Secretariat of the Knowledge Platform Security & Rule of Law

For more information on this event, see the news item: "Innovative thinking on conflict management: look towards the grassroots".

As the international community encounters countries and regions that are caught up in high levels of violence and atrocities, the limits of the current international response system are exposed. With the inability to reform the United Nations Security Council being seen as a bottleneck, and other innovations such as the Responsibility to Protect not having the desired impact, the time is ripe to explore fresh thinking on international conflict management.

This event is a one-day closed door Interactive Brainstorm. The primary aim of this daylong workshop is to explore innovative ideas on how to mitigate violent intrastate conflict. To that end, we will bring together experts from diverse backgrounds to:

  • discuss innovative approaches to conflict management that are being utilized by states, international organizations, and non-state actors,
  • identify and explore a number of new avenues to improving conflict management by the international community in concrete cases, and
  • provide inputs for one or more Platform policy briefs on this topic.

For more information on the event, please download the concept note, or contact Bart Weijs of the Platform Secretariat.
