SUMMARY:Language Rights for  Peace\, Justice and Strong Institutions
DESCRIPTION:The Study Group on Language and the United Nations presents\nLanguage Rights for\nPeace\, Justice and Strong Institutions\nA Virtual Symposium on 10-11 June 2024\n  \nMultilingualism is a core value of the United Nations.  Yet it is rarely addressed in relation to the targets and indicators of the Sustainable Development Goals. Recent milestones call attention to the relevance of multilingualism and language rights. The 30th anniversary of the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic\, Religious and Linguistic Minorities was commemorated in 2022.  The launch of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages also in 2022 brought renewed attention to the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).  In addition\, the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights was celebrated in 2023. Each of these instruments\, among others (e.g.\, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights [ICCPR]) have in common attention to language rights\, including nondiscrimination with regard to language.  The Declaration on Minorities\, UNDRIP\, and ICCPR\, in turn\, variously enshrine the rights to language in settings such as education\, media\, and jurisprudence as well as the right to participate in all domains of society\, including decision-making and political processes. \nThis two-day virtual symposium draws attention to the essential role that multilingualism must play in initiatives by the United Nations\, Member States\, non-governmental organizations\, the private sector\, and other stakeholders to foster peace\, justice and strong institutions.  Language mediates all human experience.  Fully inclusive dialogue\, problem-solving and justice must involve substantive use of multilingualism to ensure that people can understand one another\, access information equitably\, and participate democratically. Multilingualism is fundamental to peaceful solutions and strong institutions. In addition\, all initiatives must take linguistic minorities into account explicitly so that “nobody is left behind” due to their language background.  The symposium follows a panel format through which experts present their perspectives\, engage in dialogue with each other\, and prompt general discussion with participants. \n  \nEvent Details \nThe symposium will take place virtually over two days: \nMonday\, 10 June\n \n08:30-13:00 – New York\n14:30-19:00 – Geneva\n15:30-20:00 – Nairobi\n19:30-12:00 – Bangkok \nTuesday\, 11 June\n \n08:30-13:00 – New York\n14:30-19:00 – Geneva\n15:30-20:00 – Nairobi\n19:30-12:00 – Bangkok \n  \nA detailed programme will follow at a later time. \n  \nRegistration \nThe symposium is open to United Nations staff members\, delegates of Member States and staff members of missions\, government officials of all levels\, university researchers and students\, NGO representatives\, members of civil society\, and others with an interest in the relationship between language rights and SDG 16.  There is no cost to attend the symposium\, but preregistration is required.  Register here as soon as possible\, but no later than 9 June.\n \n  \nSymposium Sponsors \nThe symposium is hosted by the Study Group on Language and the United Nations in collaboration with the NGO Committee on Language and Languages\, a substantive committee of the Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations (CoNGO)\, and made possible by generous support and assistance from \n  \nCenter for Applied Linguistics (CAL) \n  \nEsperantic Studies Foundation (ESF) \n  \nDe Gruyter \n  \nCentre for Research and Documentation on World Language Problems (CED) \n  \nConsortium for Language Policy and Planning (CLPP) \n

SUMMARY:UNESCO Policy Dialogue on AI Governance
DESCRIPTION:Event summary \nWith the arrival of generative AI\, governments around the world have started to pay urgent attention to the risks of these increasingly powerful and ubiquitous systems\, and to develop and implement new governance frameworks. The European Union has adopted a binding horizontal framework for AI regulation with the AI Act. Other major developments include the United States’ Executive Order on AI\, the G7 Hiroshima Process\, and recent proposals by Brazil and Chile for new AI laws\, among others. National research institutions focusing on AI safety have been established in the US\, the UK\, and Japan. \nIn the context of this changing landscape and emerging challenges of implementing responsible and effective systems of AI governance\, the Social and Human Sciences Sector of UNESCO is hosting a Policy Dialogue on AI Governance\, which will include a series of events designed to address these pressing issues. This event is hosted in conjunction with a closed-door meeting by the AI Ethics Experts without Borders meeting on the 27th June. \nThe event will kick off with a session presenting the latest implementation outcomes of the UNESCO Recommendation\, followed by a launch of the first report of a major project between UNESCO and the Dutch Digital Infrastructure Authority\, funded by the European Commission – DG Reform. The event will also include the launch of a report exploring the potential impacts of AI on political life and democracy\, as well as panels on topics such as the synthetic content and the role of international development assistance in fostering AI for good. \nEvent details\n\nDate: 28th June\, 2024\nTime: 09:30 – 18:00\nVenue: UNESCO Headquarters\, 7 Place du Fontenoy\nRoom: Room IX \nRegister

SUMMARY:Austrian Forum for Peace 2024: “Towards a Climate of Peace”
DESCRIPTION:WHERE\nRochusplatz 1 / Burg Schlaining\, 7461\, Stadtschlaining \nYou can find our guest information here. \n  \nRecent events in different parts of the world have shown that violence\, militarisation and war are once again being used and presented as legitimate ways of asserting economic and political interests. Important peace processes are stalling\, multilateral organisations are losing their relevance\, the calls for dialogue and civil society-based tools of conflict resolution and peace work are fading\, and resources are lacking. \nThis year’s Austrian Forum for Peace\, titled “Towards a Climate of Peace“\, aims to address the challenges of international conflict transformation in a changing world. The conference seeks to strengthen networks\, discuss different approaches\, initiate thought processes\, generate ideas\, and contribute to the promotion of sustainable global peace. \nIncreasing global complexity and unpredictability are exacerbated by the effects of the man-made climate crisis. This threat is felt across conflict lines and can worsen the burden on countries affected by conflict. However\, it can also be an opportunity to build trust between opposing parties and work together on solutions. This approach\, known as Environmental Peacebuilding\, was first discussed at the UN Climate Change Conference COP 28 in 2023 and has been specifically pursued at the ACP for some time. \nAt the same time\, the global system is becoming more fragmented and restructured\, partly due to the increasing number of international mediation parties\, some of which are involved in conflicts. In this new reality\, one possible approach could be to use the comparative advantages of new\, different actors in a targeted manner to support regions affected on their way to a climate of peace. \nThe use of technology\, including artificial intelligence\, also plays a major role not only in warfare worldwide\, but increasingly also in considerations and projects for the prevention of civil conflict and peacebuilding. \n  \nEvent Schedule and More Info
