Supporting UN Training on Rule of Law and Negotiations

On Nov. 22, The Institute for Inclusive Security’s Miki Jacevic, chief training officer, and Angelic Young, manager of policy initiatives, conducted a training in New York at the UN’s Institute for Training and Research during a two-day workshop titled “Negotiating International Peace and Security: Strengthening the Rule of Law.” Seventeen delegates from permanent UN missions in more than a dozen conflict-affected countries attended. The training’s main goal was to enhance delegates’ ability to incorporate a rule-of-law perspective into their approach towards negotiations.

First, The Institute helped moderate a panel on addressing women and children’s needs in rule-of-law initiatives, particularly focusing on how to include marginalized populations’ perspectives in post-conflict legal procedures and gender mainstream such processes.

Inclusive Security also facilitated a role-play designed to teach participants how to better integrate women into transitional justice mechanisms, as well as negotiation skills that can be applied to their work at the UN.
