We began our first quarter-century in the shadow of calamities in Rwanda, Somalia and the Balkans. We embark on our second haunted by more than a half-million dead in Syria, conflicts ravaging, among a depressingly long list, in Afghanistan, Nigeria, South Sudan and Yemen, and record numbers of people displaced by war. Amid the proliferation of conflict, we have not altered our mission or core methodology. We start with rigorous fieldwork in the war zones. We talk to all parties to the conflict in question so as to understand – and fairly portray – their interests and motivations. We develop sound, practical policy advice for resolving conflicts. And we depend on our credi- bility with and access to decision- and opinion-makers across the globe to help translate those recommendations into reality. Throughout, we strive to be unconstrained by politics or ideology, to serve no single country but rather an international public good, to represent conflict victims worldwide and to offer transparent analysis grounded in the facts. These are the habits honed over a quarter-century of experience on the front lines and the hall- marks of a tradition to which we shall remain faithful. The conflict landscape has changed a great deal, however, and we must make our own ad- justments. The West, once predominant, has seen its relative influence fade and its willing- ness – or ability to – resolve conflicts erode. China and Russia have grown more assertive. International polarisation has diminished the (already questionable) effectiveness of mul- tilateral institutions. Uncertainty as to the global balance of power has encouraged re- gional actors to stoke, perpetuate and manipulate conflicts to their advantage or their ri- vals’ detriment. Social media as well as new technologies have revolutionised how wars are covered and how they are waged. The Workplan before you will show you the ways in which we are adapting. It flows from our new 2019-2024 Strategic Framework. The fruit of eight months of study and consulta- tion, the Framework charts an ambitious course for the next five years to meet our objective – that policymakers and opinion-shapers around the globe turn to Crisis Group as the world’s premier conflict prevention organisation – and to fulfil our mission of preventing, miti- gating and resolving deadly conflict. The Framework rests on three pillars. First, we must maintain and sharpen our research and analytic capacity. To address grow- ing demand for our work from governments, non-state actors, civil society, the business community and the media alike, we are recruiting additional staff to deepen our exper- tise with regard to both existing and emerging conflicts. We also have taken initial steps to launch initiatives on Climate Change and Conflict as well as on Technology and War, Crisis Group Workplan 2019-2020 | Public Version 6 complementing our existing cross-cutting work on Gender, Economics of Conflict and Ji- had in Modern Conflict. Another novelty – our Dialogue Initiative – is a demand-driven effort to bring conflict stakeholders together. Secondly, we must enhance our advocacy. The most insightful analysis is only as good as its impact. Accordingly, we must be creative in developing ways to shape stakeholders’ un- derstanding and policy, particularly at a time when power is more diffuse. As this Workplan illustrates, we are appealing to new audiences by balancing long-form reports with shorter, more targeted outputs. We also are bolstering our use of videos, infographics and interactive web content. Thirdly, we must invest in strategic communications. Facing greater competition for poli- cymakers’ time and attention, we are working to raise our visibility so that those we wish to influence know they can and should turn to Crisis Group for the most reliable, up-to-date field-based knowledge and analysis and the most incisive policy recommenda- tions regarding conflict resolution. So, too, with media: in order that our ideas might carry weight with decision-makers, we are bolstering our efforts to ensure that both the tradi- tional press and social media feature our output prominently. Crisis Group is a collective enterprise – a collective comprising our richly diverse and ded- icated staff, but also our consumers. We cannot succeed unless those we want to reach find us credible, reliable, timely and useful. We are looking forward to your feedback on this Workplan, which, as always, will remain flexible and adaptable in response to new demands or unexpected crises. Finally, I cannot conclude without highlighting the plight of our colleague Michael Kovrig. As this Workplan goes to press, he has been wrongfully imprisoned in China for over 200 days. He is a pawn in a game that others are playing. Our every thought is with Michael and his family. We will continue to fight for his release, relentlessly and without fail, until he is at home, surrounded by his many loved ones. We will count on the help of all who support our work to make that day come soon. Robert Malley President & CEO 1 Introduction This Workplan describes what Crisis Group intends to do between 1 July 2019 and 30 June 2020. It is based on and reflects the priorities of our new Strategic Framework (2019-2024), which details how Crisis Group will advance its mission to prevent, resolve and mitigate deadly conflict while adapting to changes in the conflict landscape. Our Strategic Frame- work has several objectives, including maintaining and sharpening our research and anal- ysis as well as bolstering our impact on those who make and influence policy. Our plans to boost our research and analysis form the core of this Workplan (Sections 2-5). We will complement conflict-specific analysis with a robust cross-cutting research agenda. As the concerns of policymakers and other conflict actors shift, we will strive to stay on top of global conflict trends and incorporate cutting-edge methods into our field-based analysis. Toward this end, we will deepen our efforts to integrate gender analysis in our work (Sec- tion 3). We aim to understand the distinct roles of men and women in both sustaining and ending conflict; to recommend paths toward increased women’s participation in the peace and security realm; and to propose policy prescriptions that take

As a part of the demobilization process, 13,000 former militants surrendered their arms and returned to civilian life either in reintegration camps or among the general public.1 The organization’s leadership were granted immunity from extradition for their conduct during the internal armed conflict and some took the five Senate seats and five House of Representatives seats guaranteed by the peace deal.2 As an organiza- tion, FARC announced its transformation into a political party, the Fuerza Alternativa Revolucionaria del Común (FARC).

  • Mexico's Out-Of-Control Criminal Market
    SECURITY, STRATEGY, AND ORDER MARCH 2019 MEXICO’S OUT-OF-CONTROL CRIMINAL MARKET VANDA FELBAB-BROWN MEXICO’S OUT-OF-CONTROL CRIMINAL MARKET VANDA FELBAB-BROWN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • This paper explores the trends, characteristics, and changes in the Mexican criminal market, in response to internal changes, government policies, and external factors. It explores the nature of violence and criminality, the behavior of criminal groups, and the effects of government responses. • Over the past two decades, criminal violence in Mexico has become highly intense, diversified, and popularized, while the deterrence capacity of Mexican law enforcement remains critically low. The outcome is an ever more complex, multipolar, and out-of-control criminal market that generates deleterious effects on Mexican society and makes it highly challenging for the Mexican state to respond effectively. • Successive Mexican administrations have failed to sustainably reduce homicides and other violent crimes. Critically, the Mexican government has failed to rebalance power in the triangular relationship between the state, criminal groups, and society, while the Mexican population has soured on the anti-cartel project. • Since 2000, Mexico has experienced extraordinarily high drug- and crime-related violence, with the murder rate in 2017 and again in 2018 breaking previous records. • The fragmentation of Mexican criminal groups is both a purposeful and inadvertent effect of high-value targeting, which is a problematic strategy because criminal groups can replace fallen leaders more easily than insurgent or terrorist groups. The policy also disrupts leadership succession, giving rise to intense internal competition and increasingly younger leaders who lack leadership skills and feel the need to prove themselves through violence.

  • (National Liberation Army) in Colombia and Venezuela R
    The Reinforcing Activities of the ELN(National Liberation Army) in Colombia and Venezuela R. EVAN ELLIS, PHD* n the past five years, a confluence of events in Colombia and Venezuela have empowered the National Liberation Army (ELN) to become a far more dan- Igerous and intractable threat to both countries, and the region. The reinforc- ing effects of the partial demobilization the rival Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC),1 a dramatic expansion in coca production in Columbia,2 a permissive environment for the ELN in neighboring Venezuela,3 plus opportuni- ties arising out of that nation’s criminal economy and refugee crisis, have together allowed the organization to become larger, better funded, and more difficult to dislodge. In the process, the organization has begun to displace a range of key adversaries in both Colombia and Venezuela, increase its territorial control, play an expanded role in transnational criminal activities from drugs and gasoline smuggling to mining to extortion, impacting not only the security of Colombia, but the future of Venezuela, as well as facilitating ever greater flows of narcotics and refugees that impact Brazil, the Caribbean, Central America and beyond. ELN activities in Colombia and Venezuela countries are complimentary, al- though its actual activities differ from its public posture in both. In Colombia, the group seeks the overthrow of the government through revolutionary action,4 al- though its armed actions are limited relative to its fundraising through illicit ac- tivities. In Venezuela, the group does not openly seek the government’s downfall, and collaborates with that nation’s political leadership and local military commanders,5 as the ELN it uses the country as a strategic safe zone and concen- trates on the generation of revenue through illicit activities.

  • 1 Introduction Since the 1960S, Colombia Has Endured a Protracted
    Introduction Since the 1960s, Colombia has endured a protracted civil war. Fought between the government of Colombia (GOC), their paramilitary allies and various left-wing guerrilla groups, the conflict has claimed the lives of scores of Colombians and led to acute suffering for millions of people. The GOC and the country’s largest and longest-lasting insurgent group, the left-wing Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia or FARC), began negotiations to end the decades-long conflict on August 27th, 2012,1 after sixth months of exploratory dialogue. These talks began October, 2012 in Havana, Cuba and, after rejection in a national referendum, a revised landmark peace deal was signed by both parties in November 2016. The six-point GOC-FARC deal constitutes a comprehensive peace agreement addressing key areas of the conflict and formally marks the end of the conflict between the GOC and the FARC. At the time of writing (April 2018), there is substantial optimism surrounding the implementation of the agreed terms as the FARC complete the process of disarmament and transition to a political party, the Fuerza Alternativa Revolucionaria del Común (same acronym – FARC). Yet significant concerns remain regarding the challenges to the peace deal.2 For example, there are concerns regarding the GOC’s ability to implement the terms of the agreement.3 Many other observers and commentators have focused on FARC dissidents’ refusal to join the peace process and demobilise. An estimated 800 to 1,000 former FARC members have not demobilised and it is hitherto unclear if these groups will continue to espouse a left-wing political platform similar to the FARC or if they will concentrate on criminal activities such as the illegal drug trade.4 However, another central concern that has emerged is the continued presence and expansion of Colombia’s right-wing paramilitary groups.

  • What Are Human Rights?
    What are human rights? Human rights represent a fundamental area of international law which developed following the atrocities committed during World War I and II. Amongst the first instruments is the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) - championed by Eleanor Roosevelt – marking the first time that a statement existed that human rights do not simply belong to the national level but exist on the international plane as well. Subsequently, human rights were defined internationally as we know them today – rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of the nationality, place of residence, sex, national/ethnic origin, colour, religion, language or any other status without discrimination. These rights are all universal, inalienable, interrelated, interdependent and indivisible. They are subject to national implementation and international protection. Therefore, it remains the responsibility of states to act in certain ways or to refrain from certain acts, in order to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals or groups.
