24 February 2015

Time: 5:45 - 8:30pm

The report is a co-production of the International State Crime Initiative (ISCI) and the Transnational Institute, and financially supported by the Berghof Foundation and the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust.

How do global counter-terrorism laws impact on peacebuilders and the potential for genuine transformation of conflicts? Building Peace in Permanent War: Terrorist Listing & Conflict Transformation by Louise Boon-Kuo, Ben Hayes, Vicki Sentas, and Gavin Sullivan addresses this complex issue. The report combines legal and political analysis with in-depth case studies drawing on the testimony of diverse actors engaged in conflict transformation. The study focuses on the use of counter-terrorism law and policy in the management of conflict with Al-Shabaab in Somalia, Hamas in the Occupied Palestinian territories, and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party in Turkey.
