As part of its Strategic Partnership (2016-20) with the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, PAX helped organize a training on the Protection of Civilians in Rwanda, at the Rwanda Peace Academy (RPA) based in Musanze. The training was attended by military, police and civilian staff from 14 African nations that contribute to peacekeeping missions on the African continent.
Today all partners of the @PAXforpeace #ProtectionofCivilian work came together for the kick-off of the new projects. We look forward to expanding our Human Security Survey activities in #Iraq #SouthSudan and work on engaging international actors on PoC.
Civilians should not pay the price of the US-Iranian escalation. PAX calls upon the Dutch government and the EU to take action. Read more on our website: https://www.paxforpeace.nl/stay-informed/news/civilians-caught-in-the-middle-of-us-iranian-escalation
Proud to see @PAXforpeace partner from the Al Amal Association in the @Oxfam list of important women leaders in #Iraq: https://oxfaminiraq.exposure.co/local-voices. Thanks to them & many other women for raising their voice and advocating for equal opportunities for all. #WPS
Registration for the #NATO #UN #ProtectionofCivilians course is now open! Main goal of this course is to develop a practical understanding among civilian & military participants of the role of @NATO and @UNPeacekeeping as protection actors in operations.
The annual report on the Human Security Survey in Jubek State, South Sudan, is available now. In general security perceptions have improved across #Rejaf and #Mangalla counties (2017-2018). More background: http://bit.ly/HSSJubek2018. #protectionofcilivians #Jubek #SouthSudan
