This year’s Annual Conference aims to draw on your experience and expertise in setting the Platform’s programmatic and research priorities and seeks to foster innovative approaches to Security & Rule of Law policy, programming and knowledge exchange.

As a member of our network, we welcome your contribution to the set up and program of the conference day. This can be an innovative approach, interesting substantive area of focus or simply a concrete idea or topic to explore further. 

Current global trends such as unprecedented forced displacement, soaring urbanization, entrenched injustices, transnational organized crime, radicalization and persistent gender-inequalities mark the evolving nature of violent conflict. However, the international community faces difficulties in adjusting its tools for intervention and support accordingly. The meaning of the recently adopted Sustainable Development Goals  for policy frameworks and programming still remains to be defined to realize their transformative potential.
 
The conference invites you to explore the hard choices for policy and programming that suchhard contexts demand through the following guiding themes:

• Addressing emerging transnational security challenges: a balancing act;
• Towards more politically transformative rule of law support: working through informal justice systems and challenging state-led injustices;
• Innovation for impactful Security and Rule of Law programming.

Participants can choose from a menu of in-depth, creative and exploratory sessions to discuss issues on the horizon and recent research results, as well as to test existing or experimental methodologies. A marketplace will allow you to present and discover on-going (research) projects, and plenty of room for networking will be available.

Mark your calendar, we hope you’ll join us in The Hague!
