CONFERENCE: Rights based development and humanitarian action in conflict situations
Date: 8-9 February 2007
Location: London, UK
The IAG - a loose network of UK based NGOs concerned with integrating human rights into development and humanitarian practice – is organising a conference on rights based development and humanitarian action in conflict situations.
The purpose of this exploratory conference is to learn, challenge thinking and improve the impact of rights based programme and policy work in conflict situations through the creation of space for debate and analysis of emerging challenges, tensions and questions as well as areas of complementarity.
The conference will introduce innovative theories, policies and practices and facilitate debate from the various perspectives of development, humanitarian, human rights and peace and security academics and practitioners. The participation of speakers from developing countries is prioritised to ensure learning with practitioners and academics working in conflict contexts. A concrete output will be a publication which captures the challenges and tensions but also clarifies areas of complementarity between human rights and conflict prevention. It is hoped that this open forum will push participants to look more deeply and critically at their own work and ultimately enable them to respond more effectively in the future.
Registration forms are available at: http://www.crin.org/resources/infoDetail.asp?ID=11714&flag=event
