Ceasefire monitoring can help facilitate transitions from war to peace. This Accord Spotlight looks at ways to provide more effective support for implementing ceasefires, and ideas for ‘what works’ in ceasefire monitoring. Spotlight authors Cate Buchanan and Govinda Clayton will discuss key findings from the report, including on civilian and civil society involvement in monitoring, and the use of technology.

The event, co-hosted with the Mediation Support Network, will also feature reflections from other key contributors to previous PSRP workshops on Afghanistan, Yemen, Colombia including:

• A. Heather Coyne – Chief, SSR Team, UN Office of the Special Envoy of the Secretary General
• Juanita Millan Hernandez – Former Adviser to the High Commissioner for Peace in Colombia, Member of United Nations Mediation Standby Team
• Julian Hottinger – Senior Mediator, Human Security Division (HSD) of the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA)

An open discussion will follow.

Event chaired by Sanja Badanjak, Chancellor’s Fellow in Global Challenges – University of Edinburgh.
