Miscellaneous - Adresses of the national networks - Institutions and networks enhancing citizens'participation in the Barcelona Process - Organizational Chart Secretariat Anna Lindh EuroMed Foundation, Alexandria - List of members of the advisory committee - Financial contributions of the 35 State members to the Anna Lindh Foundation - 27 september 2005 Network of National Networks One of the innovative features of the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the Dialogue between Cultures is its role as Network of Networks. Each government of the 35 member countries has appointed an organization or institution working at national level to develop dialogue between Euro-Mediterranean cultures and peoples as Head of a National Network open to all institutions, organizations and other partners which work on the basis of democratic, pluralistic, and multilateral values . These Anna Lindh National Networks are invited to give the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership a face at the national as well as the international level. Under the coordination of the Heads of National Networks, members of the National Networks contribute to the identification and implementation of the Foundation’s activities as well as to the circulation of information and knowledge within the network. The aim is to encourage cooperation on concrete programmes and projects among people across frontiers through creating strong linkages among civil society organizations all over the region. Find the Guidelines for the National Networks here The Heads of the 35 Anna Lindh Foundation National Networks have met three times since the Foundation was officially inaugurated in April 2005. A separate consultative meeting with the Heads of the Arab networks was organized in Alexandria. At the end of 2005, 29 out of 35 National Networks have established themselves in line with the Guidelines, with a list of all member organizations published on this Website. In a Joint Statement adopted in Barcelona on 27 November 2005, the Heads of National Networks expressed their appreciation for the recognition given to the Anna Lindh Foundation by the Heads of State and Government as well as for the initiative of the European Parliament in calling for mechanisms to strengthen the Anna Lindh Foundation networks. They also called on the 35 governments and on the European Commission to identify means of funding for the development and the capacity building of the network, especially in the fields of project development and management.

List of participants …………………………….………………………. 19 3 Summary The United Nations International Meeting of Parliamentarians in Support of Israeli- Palestinian Peace was organized by the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People within the framework of the International Year of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. The Committee believes that the peace process needs to be grounded in international law and human rights. At the same time, the Gaza war revealed major gaps in protection and accountability. Parliamentarians have a crucial role to play in ensuring the implementation of applicable international norms. Speakers expressed concern regarding the deadlock in the peace process. They condemned Israeli settlements and the escalation of violence, exemplified by the brutal Gaza war, as well as violence in Jerusalem provoked by Israeli actions regarding holy sites, which threatened to ignite a religious war. The year 2014, designated as the International Year of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, instead brought them more death and privation. Speakers deplored the suffering of civilians in Gaza, while calling for the lifting of the blockade, meaningful reconciliation and the speeding-up of Gaza’s reconstruction and disbursement of pledged aid.

  • The United Nations and Atrocity Crimes: the Over- Politicisation of Decision- Making in the Security Council
    UCL GLOBAL GOVERNANCE INSTITUTE WORKING PAPER SERIES The United Nations and Atrocity Crimes: The Over- Politicisation of Decision- Making in the Security Council Martin Davenas 2018/6 Abstract This paper critically assesses the ability of the United Nations (UN) to respond to atrocity crimes such as genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity or ethnic cleansing. It argues that, as a result of the over-politicisation of the decision-making process in the Security Council (SC), the UN has failed on many occasions to protect human lives and human rights. Too often, the international community has ignored urgent crises or responded too late. In other cases, interventions ostensibly carried out in the defence of human rights have been used to further the specific interests of powerful states and/or they have had serious adverse effects on local populations. The paper concludes that this has larger consequences for the legitimacy of the SC and the UN as a whole, pointing to the urgent need to reform the decision-making process in the SC. This paper is published as part of the UCL Global Governance Institute’s Working Paper series.

I, like all participants, am grateful for each Sultan Barakat speaker’s insightful presentation and for the thought-provoking discussions they inspired. This report attempts to capture their wisdom and their calls for concerted action. I would also like to acknowledge the tireless efforts of the WANA Forum Secretariat in organising the event and in contributing to this report. Their work was complemented by that of the co-organisers from the Regional Human Security Centre (RHSC) in Amman and the Post-war Reconstruction and Development Unit (PRDU) at the University of York, UK.
