The Centre conducts research on good practices, encourages the development of appropriate norms at the national and international levels, makes policy recommendations and provides in-country advice and assistance programmes. DCAF’s partners include governments, parliaments, civil society, international organisations and security sector actors such as police, judiciary, intelligence agencies, border security services and the military. BCSP The Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (BCSP) is an independent think-tank which is publicly advocating human, national, regional and international security based on democracy and respect for human rights. The Centre works towards consolidation of security sector reform (SSR) and security integration of Western Balkan states into Euro-Atlantic ccommunity by creating an inclusive and knowledge-based security policy environment. It achieves these goals through research, public advocacy, education, publications and creation of networking opportunities for relevant stakeholders. BFPE The Belgrade Fund for Political Excellence (BFPE) is part of the South East European Network of Schools of Political Studies, operating under the auspices of the Council of Europe. The BFPE intends to facilitate the process of building and continuous development of a new, democratic leadership in the political sphere, as well as leaders in other segments of public life who will be leading Serbia toward European and Euro-Atlantic integration. Particular emphasis has been placed on further development of regional cooperation in South-East Europe in order to strengthen regional stability, security and democratic potential of the region. 3 Editors: • Sonja Stojanović, Director, Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (BCSP) • Kathrin Quesada, Project Officer, Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF) Authors: • Nataša Petrović, Programme Coordinator, Belgrade Fund for Political Excellence (BFPE) • Sonja Stojanović, Director, Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (BCSP) • Gorana Odanović, Researcher, Belgrade Centre for Security Policy • Maja Bjeloš, Researcher, Belgrade Centre for Security Policy 4 Acknowledgements This assessment was made possible thanks to the funding of DCAF and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A special thank you goes to Kathrin Quesada for managing the consultations and to Daniel de Torres for providing feedback and suggestions on the drafts of this report, as well as to Dragana Petrović from the Gender Equality Council and Vesna Jarić from the Gender Equality Directorate for helping us to better understand how the gender institutions and mechanisms in the Republic of Serbia (hereafter Serbia) work. All those who accepted to be interviewed gave us valuable insights on the strengths and weaknesses of existing gender and security mechanisms. We would also like to thank local partner organisations for helping us organise the consultations in Bujanovac (Civil Resource Centre), Kragujevac (Roma Information Centre), Novi Sad (Provincial Secretariat for Labour, Employment and Gender Equality) and Novi Pazar (UrbanIn). Finally, our thanks go to BCSP and BFPE for providing material from the “Yearbook of Security Sector Reform in Serbia” and the “Recommendations for drafting the National Action Plan for the Implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 in Serbia”, as well as to Mina Lazarević (BFPE) and Aja Fukuda (BCSP intern) for their research assistance. Last but not least, the authors are grateful to Anthony Drummond for his language review. 5 Table of Contents Abbreviations ............................................................................................................ 8 List of tables, text boxes and illustrations ................................................................. 10 Preface ..................................................................................................................... 11 Executive Summary .................................................................................................. 12 Recommendations .................................................................................................... 18 Research Design ...................................................................................................... 23 1.

  • Statement Is Issued in the Names of the Signatories and Not on Behalf of the ELN Organisation As a Whole
    Tuesday 17 December 2013 European Leaders Call for a New Approach to Security Context: As members of the European Leadership Network (ELN), we have committed ourselves to working toward a world without nuclear weapons. Such a world will only come about as a result of a joint enterprise involving leaders and peoples from every continent. It will only be achievable if the practical steps required to reach this goal are seen as contributing to every country’s national security as well as to global security. And it will only come about if leaders in every country and region take their share of the responsibility to act. The Euro-Atlantic region, which includes the United States, all the countries of Europe, and Russia is home to more than 95 percent of all the nuclear weapons on earth, four of the five declared nuclear weapon states in the NPT, and nine of the fourteen states in the world with nuclear weapons on their territory (namely the US, Russia, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Belgium and the Netherlands). While the likelihood of a devastating conventional or nuclear conflict in the Euro- Atlantic region has dramatically declined, it is a region still scarred by the experience of 20th century conflict and by a deep and persisting legacy of Cold War mistrust. Cold War–era security concepts and many of their associated weapons and military postures continue to dominate. In particular, the currency of nuclear deterrence and mutual assured destruction continues in circulation. Large strategic nuclear forces remain deployed on prompt launch, ready to be fired in minutes; thousands of tactical nuclear weapons are still stockpiled in Europe; and a decades-old missile defence debate remains stuck in neutral.
