dear friends:

 

We would kindly like to share with you this attached 7-page policy brief from a two-day research seminar titled "Beating African Swords into Ploughshares: From Military Security to Human Security". The meeting was jointly convened by the Nordic Africa Institute (NAI) in Uppsala, Sweden; the University of Pretoria's Centre for the Advancement of Scholarship (CAS) in Pretoria, South Africa; and Trust Africa, Dakar, Senegal on 31 October and 1 November 2023 in Uppsala, Sweden. 

 

The seminar involved members of the academic, policy, and civil society communities and covered eight substantive sessions over two days including: Strengthening Africa's Security Architecture, and Tackling Military Coups d'États in Africa; Enhancing Africa's Role on the United Nations (UN) Security Council; The African Union's (AU) Right to Intervene, and the Role of Civilian Police in Peace Support Operations in Africa; A Life of Service: Experiences in Mediation, Humanitarian Action, and Diplomacy; Human Rights, Mass Atrocities, and Protecting Civilians in Africa; Promoting Climate Justice, and Decolonizing Liberal Peace and Security in Africa; Mediation Lessons, and Addressing the Scourge of Children and Armed Conflict in Africa; and Tackling Militant Groups in Africa.

 

We hope that you will find the policy brief of value, and that you will assist us by disseminating it further through your extensive networks.

 

Yours sincerely,
