The discussion looked at the role of women’s inclusion and participation in advancing democratic political transitions to achieve sustainable peace.

Join USIP and the U.S. Department of State’s Office of Global Criminal Justice and Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations for a discussion on how formal and transitional justice mechanisms have created or sustained momentum for democracy in states where democratic values are threatened by authoritarianism and conflict. The conversation will include renowned civil society activists and Nobel laureates from Colombia, The Gambia and Ukraine who have worked to make justice processes more inclusive of — and available to — vulnerable populations as they seek to address the full breadth of harms suffered by civilian populations.

Join USIP for a conversation with Montenegro President Milo Đukanović on security and stability in the Balkans, the growing threat of Russian influence across the European continent, and the importance of NATO and the future of European security architecture.
