My latest for @SIPRIorg takes stock of the WPS agenda following UNSCR 1325's twenty-fifth anniversary. The perspective is one I feel is sorely under-represented in WPS policy work: What of men, boys, and masculinities? (1/7) https://t.co/frSjaELaIB

Congratulations to my colleagues Claudia and Lucas on this year’s State of Play report!!

[SIPRI @SIPRIorg]

As the 26th anniversary of the adoption of @UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security approaches on 31 October, progress towards increasing women’s representation in multilateral peace operations remains uneven. 
This new overview by @claudiapfeiferc and Lucas Wiktorsson examines women’s representation in UN peace operations, European Union Common Security and Defence Policy #CSDP missions and operations, and @OSCE ield operations.

idk Nic why don’t you ask your colleagues at the NYT who spent years spreading lies about “Hamas command and control centers” under hospitals, laundering fake Israeli “intelligence”, institutionally removing Israeli responsibility from headlines, baselessly smearing UNRWA, etc

Last week, SIPRI's @gretchenbaldwin delivered a keynote speech at the residence of the Moroccan Ambassador to Sweden (@KMedrek) on 'Returning to the roots: Twenty-five more years of the Women, Peace and Security agenda'. The talk covered key geopolitical trends impacting the WPS agenda's implementation, key opportunities for the next 25 years and recommendations for political stakeholders.

Delighted to host as Chair of the Ambassadors’ Group for #Gender_Equality, a conference on the #Women, #Peace and #Security agenda at the #Moroccan Residence in #Stockholm, during which #SIPRI’s Senior expert #Gretchen_Baldwin spoke on “Back to the Roots: 25 more years of #WPS”.

Currently all info on the website for the Selective Service System (the draft) about Conscientious Objection is a dead link. This denies 19 million draft-eligible youth vital facts about their rights.

An essential person to follow on here for their dogged reporting, videos, first hand accounts and interviews—often depressing/enraging, but all the more important for that reason

Every time the West calls an African country "unstable" they mean the resources stopped flowing.

I made a glossary of 100 diplomatic words they use and what they actually mean.

In this paper @gretchenbaldwin takes stock of the sub-field of men, boys and masculinities within the women, peace and security #WPS agenda.

“Military-aged male” is not a legal category. The categories are “civilian” & “combatant”.

In case of doubt, a person is presumed civilian. Age & gender are not close to sufficient to dispel such doubt. Speculative beliefs about threats are also insufficient.

The paper concludes with five broad recommendations for civil society, researchers, and states. Please always feel free to reach out with questions, comments, or suggestions for collaboration. (7/7)

[Gretchen Baldwin @gretchenbaldwin]

Finally, I feel strongly that including men and boys in WPS work--particularly their vulnerabilities--expands the spectrum of how gender is holistically understood in peace and security and improves the potential for inclusion of LGBTQ+ people in that same work. (6/7)

[SIPRI @SIPRIorg]

This paper by @gretchenbaldwin explores how men and boys can be considered in the WPS agenda’s implementation beyond simply ‘adding men and stirring’.

Read my sister Tamam's latest for @The_NewArab: Europe preaches feminism while funding Israeli occupation. @TamamBeitJirja 👏🏾✊🏾🇵🇸 It's long overdue that the EU cuts ties and impose sanctions on the genocidal settler-colonial and apartheid regime of Israel! https://t.co/ijoRqgppjV
