Eine erhöhte Bereitschaft Risiken einzugehen, Gefälligkeiten zu erwidern sowie die Überzeugung, das eigene Leben im Griff zu haben führen dazu, dass Geflüchtete schneller in Deutschland Fuß fassen.
Geflüchtete, die risikobereiter sind, eher Gefälligkeiten erwidern und stärker als andere davon überzeugt sind, das eigene Leben im Griff zu haben, integrieren sich schneller in die Gesellschaft. Das zeigt eine Studie auf Basis von Daten der „IAB-BAMF-SOEP-Befragung Geflüchteter in Deutschland“, die Wissenschaftler des Sozio-oekonomischen Panel am DIW Berlin gemeinsam mit Forschenden der Universität des Saarlandes und der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität (WWU) Münster erstellt haben. Die Studie wurde kürzlich in der Fachzeitschrift „Collabra: Psychology“ veröffentlicht.
On Friday, May 24th, IPI together with the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) are cohosting a policy forum on “The Human Rights Compliance Framework of the G5 Sahel Joint Force.”
Remarks will begin at 10:15am PST / 1:15pm EST
The G5 Sahel Joint Force (Force Conjointe du G5 Sahel or FC-G5S) was launched in 2017 by Niger, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Chad, and Mali to unite their efforts to address common security threats in the region. As the UN Security Council authorized MINUSMA to provide operational and logistical support to the FC-G5S in Resolution 2391, it also called on the G5 Sahel states to “establish a robust compliance framework to prevent, investigate, address and publicly report violations and abuses of human rights law and violations of international humanitarian law related to the FC-G5S.”
In that context, the FC-G5S—with operational support from the UN and financial support from the EU—is implementing a human rights and international humanitarian law compliance framework. This framework was established with the support of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to ensure that planning and conduct of military operations are done in accordance with human rights and IHL. It aims to establish measures and mechanisms necessary to both minimize civilian harm during offensive military operations and respond to human rights and IHL violations.
This event will provide an opportunity to hear from senior experts from OHCHR, G5 Sahel countries, and civil society organizations. Panelists will provide an overview of the compliance framework and discuss its modalities, challenges, and successes. They will also reflect on the potential for such a model to contribute to the protection of civilians in the Sahel region and to integrate human rights considerations in counter-terrorism operations.

On Friday, May 24th, IPI together with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the World Health Organization (WHO), the Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition (SHCC), and the Permanent Missions of Poland, France, Iraq, Germany, and Afghanistan to the UN, is co-hosting a policy forum entitled “Finding the Road to Implementing Security Council Resolution 2286.” This is a side event to the 2019 UN Security Council open debate on the protection of civilians.
Remarks will begin at 5:45am PST / 8:45am EST
In 2016, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 2286, a landmark resolution reaffirming the relevance of international humanitarian law and, in particular, its rules relating to the protection of the wounded and sick. The resolution’s adoption represented a strong political commitment to protect the sanctity of healthcare delivery in armed conflict.
Since then, the protection of medical care in armed conflict has received sustained attention at the Security Council. Unfortunately, this has yet to translate into significant and concrete change on the ground. Around the world, attacks on healthcare continue unabated. Beyond attacks, access to impartial medical care has also continued to suffer other, less visible impediments. These include the removal of medical items from aid convoys by armed actors, threats to medical personnel, or the ripple effects of restrictive measures such as counterterrorism regulations, some of which may criminalize the provision of medical care to members of groups considered as “terrorist.” These challenges have an immediate impact on the ability to provide medical care to those who need it, but also create longer-term consequences for the health of entire populations.
This event will provide an opportunity to recall the necessity, in armed conflict, for parties to armed conflict to comply fully with relevant international humanitarian law obligations and the need to take concrete action, at all levels, to stem the flow of attacks and other impediments to the impartial provision of medical care in armed conflict. It also aims to highlight good practice in Resolution 2286’s implementation and identify ways in which member states and relevant institutions can concretely follow up on initiatives to better protect the wounded and sick in armed conflict.

„Geld und die Welt“ ist ein spannendes, dynamisches Thema. Das aktuelle Vierteljahrsheft zeigt die große Bedeutung von Geld, Geldtransaktionen und Finanzmärkten in den unterschiedlichsten Bereichen von Gesellschaft und Politik. Ein zentrales Ergebnis der hier vorgestellten Arbeiten ist, dass es auch zehn Jahre nach der internationalen Finanzkrise noch nicht gelungen ist, eine nachhaltige und stabile Finanzmarktarchitektur zu etablieren, die auch in Zeiten der Digitalisierung funktioniert. Vielmehr zeigt sich, dass gerade an den Rändern des „offiziellen“ Finanzsystems neue Formen entstehen, die von der traditionellen Regulierung nicht abgedeckt werden. Dazu gehören die Kryptowährungen. Verschärfend tritt hinzu, dass das Wissen über die Funktionen des Finanzsystems bei der Bevölkerung eher gering ist. Nicht nur vor diesem Hintergrund sind die nächsten „extreme events“ vorprogrammiert.

On Wednesday, May 22nd, IPI together with the Permanent Missions of the Netherlands and Uruguay to the UN, and the Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) are cohosting a policy forum on “Twenty Years of Protecting Civilians through UN Peacekeeping Operations: Successes, Challenges, and New Frontiers.” This side event is part of Protection of Civilians Week, which is taking place on the margins of the May 23rd UN Security Council open debate on the protection of civilians under the Council presidency of the Republic of Indonesia.
Remarks will begin at 10:15am PST / 1:15pm EST
This year marks the twentieth anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1270, which authorized the UN peacekeeping operation in Sierra Leone with the first explicit mandate to protect civilians under threat of physical violence under Chapter VII of the UN Charter. To mark this important anniversary, this event will bring together key peacekeeping stakeholders to reflect on the evolution of policy and practice in the implementation of protection of civilians mandates over the past two decades.
The protection of civilians through UN peacekeeping operations has become one of the most important and visible mandates of the United Nations and its member states. Eight out of fourteen UN peacekeeping operations currently have a protection of civilians (POC) mandate, constituting the vast majority of civilian and uniformed personnel deployed to these operations around the world. While POC has been the subject of significant focus by member states at the Security Council and the General Assembly Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations, the UN Secretariat has also developed a body of policy and guidance that defines the concept of POC and clarifies the responsibilities of civilian, police and military components in protecting civilians.
Peacekeeping missions have also established innovative practical tools and approaches to enhance the implementation of protection mandates and diversify their posture and activities. However, these missions continue to face many challenges in implementing protection of civilians mandates, particularly as they operate in increasingly difficult environments and are asked to do more with less in a context of political and financial pressure.
This side event will take stock of the conceptual and practical evolution of POC in peacekeeping contexts, and draw on experiences and lessons from the field to examine recurring and emerging challenges. Specific and concrete recommendations will be explored to strengthen the protection of civilians through UN peacekeeping operations and prepare these operations to meet the new frontiers of protecting civilians.
