ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION: ‘BOTH FEET ON THE GROUND’: INNOVATION AT THE NEXUS OF PEACEBUILDING AND HUMAN RIGHTS
Quaker United Nations Office (QUNO), Interpeace, Dag Hammarskjold Foundation (DHF)
As part of the FriEnt Peacebuilding Forum 2021, QUNO, Interpeace & DHF will be hosting a round table dialogue to tap into the innovation and creativity of practitioners across the human rights and peacebuilding disciplinary divides to ‘shake loose’ policy debates that are often stuck and incentivize integrated rather than bifurcated funding strategies. There is much common ground – whether in ‘dealing with the past’, or from the perspective of YPS or WPS programming & implementation, or in the risks of securitization of peacebuilding – but there are also challenges.
