Listen to CCDP faculty associate, @cmparreira discuss:
• The Lebanese state's response to the ongoing war + displacement (and its insufficiency)
• Lebanese public opinion around the war and Hezbollah's role in politics
• Potential shifts in regional politics + alliances
🌍 On Monday, CCDP Senior Researcher Claudia Seymour spoke and sharing insight from her field experience, including her work as part of the UN Sanctions Committee Group of Experts in the Democratic Republic of Congo (2009) at the 149th Annual Assembly of the IPU.
Sending congratulations to Senior Researcher at the CCDP, Andreas T. Hirblinger @hirblinger, as he begins his fellowship at EUI continuing his research exploring the role of digital technologies in contemporary conflict prevention, peace mediation and peacebuilding.

The official inauguration of the new @GVAGrad Research Centre space took place on Tuesday night! It was a great chance to come together as a community and learn about all the fascinating research happening at the different Centres!
I cannot remember the last time Indonesia used stronger language on a matter of global security:
Foreign Minister Retno affirms ICJ jurisdiction to give Advisory Opinion.
"... no country is above the law. And the sanctity of this Court must be upheld.
Indonesia believes that this legal motion is also a motion of global conscience."
Rebuffs the US view that giving an Advisory Opinion would damage any ongoing peace effort:
"...there is no viable peace process to be undermined. Israel has been consistently obstructing a negotiated Two-State solution...With such strong resistance from Israel to stop its colonial project and its “fait accompli" unilateral actions, no peace process will viably bring a just, lasting, and comprehensive solution. After all, negotiation with someone holding a gun against your head is not a negotiation at all."
US actions such as vetoing ceasefire resolutions and opposing ICJ advisory opinion on Palestine (after rejecting South Africa's "genocide" filing) will stoke anti-American sentiment in Indonesia, the world's 4th largest nation, largest Muslim-majority nation, and otherwise friendly to US, key to US Indo-Pacific strategy. It has very good relations with US, including moves to create a comprehensive strategic partnership.
Keep in mind these words come from the outgoing Indonesian govt. not looking for reelection, hence not mainly pandering to domestic Islamic voters.
Indonesia is symptomatic of how isolated the US is in Global South now. It's more than over Iraq invasion or any other conflict in memory.
On implications for world order, note that on Ukraine, most of Global South voted with the US on principle of territorial integrity, hence supporting int law & 'rules based order'; on Gaza-Palestine, majority of Global South upholds int law and 'rules-based order' against the US position.
Who is the bigger upholders of rules? Why would a 'post-western' world be lawless, as establishment western pundits fear?

I first met #CynthiaEnloe in the 1990s. I could always point to her work and say to my grad students "of course you can study/research/write about (fill in the gender or feminist topic)." No need to say that now (well, I hope not). She again inspired in Geneva a few weeks ago!
