Network of women diplomats?

There exists a very rich literature about networking, ranging from simplified guides to well researched studies. But if we try to be more specific and relate networking to diplomacy, we enter uncharted territory. Even leaving “networking” aside, very little has been written or said on women diplomats. Networking women diplomats? Ladies, today we are writing history. Please bear with me while I try to get our ideas straight. What is networking? Do we need it? And if so, how are we to achieve it?

Definition According to the MICROSOFT electronic encyclopaedia ENCARTA, networking is the building up or maintaining of informal relationships, especially with people whose friendship could provide such advantages as job or business opportunities. Launched in the 1990´s among people working in the business world, networking is today actively pursued in virtually all professional and social activities. Networking is a two-way process, involving both giving and taking. It is actually more “give” than “take”, or at least it always starts with giving.

3 - Do women in diplomacy need networking?

The question boils down to the main concept underlying this Seminar, which is the quest for the means of advancing our goals. We have to set the goals clearly, prioritise objectives and identify possible contacts. For instance

FACTS

There are far fewer female than male diplomats

A tiny percentage of women occupy the top positions (eg as ambassadors)

Male diplomats are actively networking (and have been doing so since the very outset of diplomacy). It works!

GOALS

Increase female participation

Promote the appointment of women

React to men networking

(In fact, two groups in diplomacy engage in active networking, that is to say male diplomats and their female spouses (who even have their own international association). Collective goals like the ones mentioned above can be combined with individual goals, which thereby reinforce each other. Examples of individual goals are:

Tapping other women’s experience‘

Promoting solidarity

Seeking support and advice in difficult situations

Facing similar problems with tried and tested solutions

Receiving early warnings

Expanding interests, circles of friends and careers.

How to network We may network individually or collectively with other women diplomats. We must keep one very important thing in mind, namely that networking works informally, and must be kept informal.

Set goals

Identify contacts

Take the initiatives

Within our own ministry or organisation

Across ministries and organisation

Practical suggestions a. Involve the participants in this Seminar in a networking exercise. In fact, this Seminar serves the initial purpose of alerting women diplomats to the need to network actively at various levels. b. Set up a reference source for women diplomats and international civil servants, to be managed by the Council of Europe. Such an initiative could begin as an informal, voluntary facility taking the form of a list of contacts. We are certain that it would quickly develop into a useful tool to help women diplomats promote solidarity and mutual cooperation. c. Encourage the organisation of a special training course for high-ranking women diplomats willing and able to serve as mediators/facilitators in conflict prevention, crisis management and conflict resolution situations worldwide. The aim would be to set up the first ever Inter-European Corps of Facilitators, made up exclusively of women professionals. At the initial stages, the corps would consist of a list from which interested parties could choose facilitators. The Council of Europe, which has for half a century been the source of innovative approaches to promoting international peace and consolidating democracy, is the optimum organisation for launching this initiative. Governments of member States capable of providing the requisite expertise and financial support, might possibly assist in planning and implementing this project

On Wednesday, the Algerian ambassador in Bamako was summoned by the Malian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Algiers was accused of holding meetings with Tuareg separatists without involving the Malian authorities.

Bamako summoned the Algerian ambassador "to voice a strong protest" from Mali "following the recent unfriendly acts by the Algerian authorities, under the guise of the peace process", according to an official Malian press release.[...]

Algiers argued that recent meetings with the leaders of the signatory movements of the Peace and Reconciliation Agreement in Mali resulting from the Algiers process were "perfectly in line with the letter and spirit" of this appeal. Mr Attaf called on the Malian government to "join Algeria's current efforts" to "give new impetus" to the peace agreement signed in Algiers in 2015.

Morocco is trying to mend diplomatic ties with Mali and Niger. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita, met on Saturday, December 22 in Marrakech on the sidelines of the ministerial coordination meeting on the international initiative of King Mohammed VI to promote access of the Sahel countries to the Atlantic, with his Malian counterpart, Abdoulaye Diop. An initiative, launched by the Sovereign, during his speech on November 6. Diop's presence at the meeting is highly symbolic, given the recent tense episode between Algiers and Bamako.

The recent crisis gives Rabat an unbeatable chance to strengthen ties with the Sahelian country. France and Algeria, who had excluded the Kingdom in 2014 from the reconciliation process in this country, have lost their influence with the authorities who have ruled Bamako since the coup d'Etat of August 2020. Thus, the French army, present in Mali since Operation Serval, launched in January 2013, was forced by the military in power to leave the country in August 2022.[...]

Two weeks ago, Radio Algérie accused, based on information from «sources close to the matter», the United Arab Emirates and Morocco «of creating a climate of tension between Algeria and the countries of the Sahel», in particular «Mali and Niger in order to sell the idea that it is Algeria that finances the destabilization of these two brother countries».

King Mohammed VI made two visits to Mali in 2013 and 2014.

“Because the depth—- oh, I cannot emphasize enough— the DEPTH of supremacist ideology that drives every bit of analysis and reporting about Palestine.

If you (and this is such a clear line that I cannot believe how many times I have to scream it) If you are not hearing from a Palestinian about Palestine, what you are hearing is propaganda.

I'm going to say it again, because I don't think people believe me. It is 100% true:

Anytime you hear someone who is not Palestinian talking about Palestine, you are going to hear propaganda. And it is not even a matter of their heart or their desire. They may be people who wish for the aliveness of Palestinians.

But most people who are not Palestinian are unqualified to navigate the 100-plus years of discourse and propaganda that has been woven around the settler colonial project in Palestine… And even fewer of them have clarity about their own investments in settler colonialism where they live, whether it's here in this US colony or other settler colonies…

…You know, a lot of them are trotted out as being in support of the Palestinian cause, as like co-signatories to the Palestinian cause. But Palestinians don't need co-signers, who often, if you scratch them just a little, you'll find that they're into the two-state solution dance or the one-democratic-state solution dance that isn't really about decolonization, but will effectively continue to be apartheid (and they don't really explain how it won't be) if a decolonization process doesn't happen…”

Artforum Fires Top Editor After Its Open Letter on Israel-Hamas War

David Velasco was removed after the magazine’s publishers said there was a flawed editorial process behind the publication of a letter that supported Palestinian liberation.

By Zachary Small

Oct. 26, 2023

One of the art world’s top magazine editors was fired Thursday night after the publishers of Artforum said that the staff’s decision to post an open letter about the Israel-Hamas War failed to meet the organization’s standards.

The editor in chief, David Velasco, said he had been terminated after six years as Artforum’s leader. He had worked at the publication, considered among the world’s most prestigious art magazines, since 2005.

“I have no regrets,” Velasco said in an email. “I’m disappointed that a magazine that has always stood for freedom of speech and the voices of artists has bent to outside pressure.”

Thousands of artists, academics and cultural workers, including Velasco, signed the Oct. 19 open letter, which supported Palestinian liberation and criticized the silence of cultural institutions about the Israeli bombing of residents in Gaza.

The letter initially omitted mention of Hamas’s surprise Oct. 7 attack, which killed more than 1,400 Israelis, information that was added after criticism from subscribers and advertisers. A preface was also added to say that the letter “reflects the views of the undersigned individual parties and was not composed, directed or initiated by Artforum or its staff.”

It is not clear who wrote the letter. In it, the signatories “call for an end to the killing and harming of all civilians, an immediate cease-fire, the passage of humanitarian aid into Gaza, and the end of the complicity of our governing bodies in grave human rights violations and war crimes.”

The magazine’s publishers, Danielle McConnell and Kate Koza, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In a post on the magazine’s website Thursday evening, they criticized the decision as “not consistent with Artforum’s editorial process.” The letter “was widely misinterpreted as a statement from the magazine about highly sensitive and complex geopolitical circumstances,” they said in the post, which made no mention of Velasco’s termination.

“Our publication has a proud history of advocacy,” they added. “That the letter was misinterpreted as being reflective of the magazine’s position understandably led to significant dismay among our readers and community, which we deeply regret.”

The Oct. 19 open letter met condemnation, drawing responses by figures in the art world. On WhatsApp, campaigns were organized to dissuade advertisers from working with the magazine.

“I think it was a complete betrayal of their readers,” Michael Phillips Moskowitz, a curator and collector, said. “It was characterized by hubris with no understanding of what led to this moment.”

Several prominent artists later removed their names from the Oct. 19 letter, but it remained popular among many of the people who signed it, including those who said that the intention was to advocate peace.

“Tampering with the opinions of artists is to not understand the role of art,” said Cecilia Vicuña, a Chilean poet and artist who signed the letter, adding that she valued “the right to freedom of speech.”

Velasco joined Artforum in 2005 as an editorial assistant and became editor in chief in 2017 when the magazine’s leadership was accused of ignoring issues of misconduct amid a sexual harassment lawsuit against its publisher at the time, Knight Landesman. The lawsuit was later dismissed, but Velasco had to rebuild trust in the publication’s brand. He was largely successful, restoring Artforum’s reputation as an authoritative source of art world intrigue and criticism.

Before Velasco was fired, some artists defended him in a letter to Jay Penske, the mogul behind Penske Media Corporation, which recently acquired Artforum, saying that Velasco had “established a fearless and uncompromising vision for the magazine.”

“David’s leadership at Artforum is needed now more than ever,” the letter said.

So I looked into this, and the body handling the case is called the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner and it's very new. However, the case falls squarely within its purview, as it doesn't matter where the prohibited behavior occurred, as long as it was committed by a member a sports organization that receives state funding and is signatory of the Universal Code to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport, which Skate Canada is.

The gist of the rest is - it's not looking good for him. At all. The OSIC only accepts about a quarter to a third of reports (they claim it's because of jurisdictional issues, but I suspect there's a limitation of resources involved as well) and isn't one to launch investigations or impose sanctions willy-nilly, so the fact that the case has progressed to this point is pretty damning in itself. He's reportedly under provisional measures, which he may have already violated (I couldn't find the specifics), so that would be an additional infraction. A very relevant point to the conversation is that intentionally reporting a false allegation (not to be confused with an unsubstantiated one) is also a violation, so she'd get in trouble herself if she were lying, so all the twitter armchair criminal defense lawyers can f off. As to what would be the consequences for him:

"Sexual Maltreatment, Physical Maltreatment with contact, Grooming, and Prohibited Behaviour [...] shall carry a presumptive sanction of either a period of suspension or eligibility restrictions." There are also other discretionary measures, including even having to pay a fine or damages, but idk how applicable that would be here.

Now, I don't know what they may or may not be able to prove and what the requirements are, as this isn't a court of law, but based on the detailed nature of the allegation and the fact that the survivor has retained a high-profile lawyer that specializes in cases like these, it's all trending towards him being in a whole lotta trouble. There's also a variety of aggravating circumstances that can impact the outcome, including the effect it might have on sport in general, the public's trust in the system, and whether he's considered a danger to others. Basically he's at the very least looking at a temporary or indefinite suspension, which makes Montreal's rallying around him all the more confounding. This looks to me like he knows that probably he won't be able to make any money off of skating for who knows how long, so they're trying to milk whatever opportunity they have while they have it, which sucks for everyone who has to watch this charade and the athletes who could've gone instead.

I don't know what sort of sob story he's telling them and I know that any show of distancing from him would be perceived by the public as confirmation of his guilt, but come on, surely he's not worth it? Like... He's literally dropped his partner at every other competition and they have other teams that can qualify spots no problem, surely they could've come up with an excuse not to assign them? It's just clownery across the board from Skate Canada. I don't know when a reckoning is coming for them, but if this new lawsuit by those two brave girls in North Carolina against the USFSA is successful, maybe the federations will pull their heads out of their asses and at the very least mitigate risks to themselves. IAM is either actively being bamboozled by a psychopath or are making an emotional decision to believe him or at the very least to support her, but she's also lost a lot of good will here, so who tf knows. I just hope the survivor gets at least a semblance of justice and peace, and that Canadian athletes get the national inquiry they've been seeking. As for Skate Canada, it deserves the same level of scrutiny Hockey Canada has been under lately. As for Lolo - I know wrapping your head around your Disney fairytale turning into a Grimm's one would be hard to process for anyone, but I hope she finds it in her to see the writing on the wall and drop this loser sooner rather than later.

Thanks anon! This was very interesting to read.

Reading it I will say that I think OSIC had to pursue an investigation given it involved an active athlete that a charge is made against. I just don't think it really looks bad for him - he essentially has one competition left. Afterwards I expect FB/S to retire which means they won't be on the national team or the recipients of any funds. By the time any conclusion is made, he will be a retired athlete so I don't expect it to have any barring on his competitive career. What will it matter if they issue a suspension in 6 months if he is a retired athlete? And until they do anything, or issue even interim sanctions, skate Canada I suspect can't do much without exposing themselves to a lawsuit from him. So unless something changes in the upcoming month I expect FB/S to go to worlds and then quietly retire.

I.AM are a different story. Obviously, I don't know their line of thought, but I think the way you describe it ignores the emotional aspect of this. Nikolaj was the very first athlete at I.AM if I remember correctly, has been coached by them for 12 years, it's obvious the relationship there is more than just coach-student. I don't know any details in this case, but if it's coming from someone he was in a relationship with or something of that sort, it's a classic he said she said, and while it's easy to be bystanders and say that they should dump him, but it's not a surprise to me they choose to continue coaching him. The one thing I also don't know is the contract between the school and the athletes, will be interesting to read and see when they can "fire" students, on what ground, and how much notice they need to give in advance. Basically, it's not a cold "is he really worth it" and more the emotional attachment. The one thing I do wonder about is I.AM responsibility for their other teams, I assume this was discussed within I.AM as they have responsibility to the many teams they coach, some minors.

Having said all of this, this is only about his competitive career. His career as a coach is an entirely different matter, and I would expect it will be handled differently as well. As I said, I doubt anyone will take him to coach elite athletes without him being exonerated. The realistic in me also thinks that if he is sanctioned as a response it will be time-limited, and after that, on paper, he will be able to coach internationally with the only question mark being US since Safe Sport said they can decide to investigate if he ever applies for US coaching credentials. If any consequences will happen following this complaint, it will be to his coaching career and not his competitive one IMO.

As for Laurance, I feel for her. She's been in a relationship we know nothing about for at least a decade. She either truly believes him because her experience was different or because is in a relationship that is unhealthy for her and struggles to get out of it. We definitely have no idea. As I said, I don't know what I'd do if I were in her shoes, and I feel bad for her and have no judgment about how she handles it.

What I do know is that the way fs fandom are responding to this issue is everything that is wrong with fandom culture. Massive virtue signaling, making it all about themselves ("I can't stand to look at them", "can't believe I have to watch them compete", etc), and are just overall toxic about it. There's a way to handle this issue, and it ain't how it's being handled (same goes for how TSL is sensationalizing it).

Welp, not exactly one NPC, but I will still ask. What do you think happened with House Thul and their leader on Alderaan

Thank you for asking me this! Sorry it took me awhile to get to it!

I have several head-canons already. But here's the quick breakdown:

Lord Jorad Sindarus Thul (the rather inept, passive leader of House Thul during the Empire-side world missions) and a significant chunk of House Thul's leadership are killed during the Zakuulan invasion. Although Thul is cut off from the Empire's support, the same can be said for Organa and the Republic. As we see in the Star Fortress mission to Alderaan, the situation there is bad and stagnant, with a lack of organization.

Once the Star Fortress - and the threat of Zakuul - are removed, things start to change.

The Alliance negotiates a deal with Acina that the Empire will suspend support to Thul. (The condition being that they'll also keep Organa from rearming through the Republic.)

The Alliance then begins a number of relief missions to Alderaan, helping to stabilize the political situation.

Eventually, and it takes a few years, the Alliance essentially plays "kingmaker" - first for House Thul, then later for the actual throne of Alderaan itself.

Enter Duke Horis Thul.

Horis Thul remembers Corellan well; after all, Corellan saved the Duke from Aleyna Hark years before during the Desolator crisis. He was already agreeable to peace negotiations; only the Zakuulan subjugation held up the process.

It takes a LOT of work, with Ulannium Kaarz and Vector Hyllus doing much of the negotiations. But eventually, Horis is one of the signatories of a new Treaty of Alderaan, bringing decades of civil war to a close. (Naturally, House Thul's exile is officially ended by this treaty.)

Thank you for the ask!

Why Document Certification Is Crucial in the UK?

The authenticity and legitimacy of documents are paramount, especially in legal, business, and educational contexts. Document certification plays a crucial role in ensuring the validity of various papers and records. Document certification is the process of verifying the authenticity of a document by an authorized individual or organization. It involves confirming that the contents of the document are accurate and genuine, and that it has not been tampered with.

Importance of Document Certification

Certified documents hold legal weight in courts and official proceedings. They provide assurance that the information presented is trustworthy and accurate.

In an interconnected world, certified documents are often required for cross-border transactions, immigration, and international agreements. They facilitate smooth processes by meeting the standards recognized globally.

Certification helps deter fraudulent activities such as forgery and alteration of documents. It provides a layer of security against unauthorized changes or misrepresentation.

Certified documents enhance trust between parties involved in transactions or agreements. They offer assurance that the information exchanged is reliable and genuine.

Document Certification Process in the UK

In the UK, document certification is typically carried out by solicitors, notaries public, or certain government agencies. These authorized individuals or organizations carefully examine the document, verify the identity of the signatory, and affix their seal or signature to certify its authenticity.

Document certification serves as a safeguard for ensuring the integrity and trustworthiness of various papers and records. Whether for legal, business, or personal matters, certified documents provide peace of mind and assurance in an increasingly complex world.

Cooperation between women diplomats and non-governmental organisations (NGOs).

Women working in the diplomatic sphere can undeniably extend their efforts to helping NGOs develop political power and exercise genuine leadership in addressing such vitally important issues for the entire region as human rights, peace-building and conflict resolution. Indeed, NGOs can team up with women diplomats and, through a shared sense of mission, play a crucial role in the complex diplomatic agenda of our days. Before going into the subject of co-operation between NGOs and women in diplomacy, we would like to make it clear that we will avoid the old, historic conception of diplomacy, ie official diplomacy, or what is now referred to as ‘first-track diplomacy’, and try instead to review an alternative diplomatic approach, that known as ‘public diplomacy’, which includes dialogue, conferencing and other forms of management of international relations. This will provide a broader angle for a review of NGO involvement in diplomacy and participation by specifically female NGOs, or, in other words, of the whole issue of women in international decision-making. We will consider all kinds of interaction by women at the international level under this general framework of women in diplomacy. This is a justifiable approach, given that the world is now slowly but surely shifting from bilateral to multilateral diplomatic relations.

Women are now acknowledged peace-builders and will continue their enthusiastic efforts until the conflict is finally settled. Peace cannot be achieved by men or women on their own, since conflict is a ‘gendered’ issue, that is to say an issue to be solved by the whole of society.

Sahel Security Crisis: UK's UN Council Address

Highlighting Security Challenges and Solutions

In a recent meeting of the United Nations Security Council, UK Ambassador James Kariuki offered a comprehensive statement on the deteriorating security situation across the Sahel. His address encompassed four critical areas: security, democracy, climate change, and humanitarian need, underscoring the urgency of the situation and the need for collaborative action.   The Deteriorating Security Situation Ambassador Kariuki expressed deep concern over the security situation in the Sahel, particularly in Mali. With the withdrawal of MINUSMA, the United Nations Office for West Africa and the Sahel (UNOWAS) plays an increasingly crucial role. The UK urges UNOWAS to use its good offices to bring all signatories of the 2015 Algiers Accords back to the negotiating table. The UK also welcomes the contributions of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to regional security and supports the potential of the Accra Initiative. Additionally, the UK stands ready to support the region and the UN for the upcoming Africa Counter-Terrorism Summit, highlighting the exacerbation of security challenges by the destabilizing actions of the Russian mercenary group Wagner.   Democracy Under Pressure In his second point, Ambassador Kariuki noted the increasing pressure on democracy in the region. The timelines for restoring constitutional governments in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Guinea continue to slip. Echoing ECOWAS' calls, the UK urges a return to constitutional order and encourages adherence to transition timetables. The statement also calls on Niger to agree to a transition timeline with ECOWAS and urges Chad to adhere to an inclusive and transparent transition process. The United Kingdom also congratulates Liberia on its recent peaceful transfer of power and acknowledges the Peacebuilding Commission’s role in supporting this process.   Climate Change Impacting Security Recognizing the adverse effects of climate change on security and stability in the Sahel, Ambassador Kariuki commended UNOWAS' work in the climate-security nexus. Furthermore, the UK supports efforts in the region to build resilience against climate change, thereby emphasizing the critical importance of addressing environmental factors that contribute to regional instability.   Addressing the Humanitarian Crisis The humanitarian situation in the Sahel remains dire. Since 2019, UK aid has supported over 15 million people in the Sahel with life-saving assistance. However, humanitarian needs are still going unmet. The UK calls for all actors to ensure safe and unimpeded access to humanitarian assistance, highlighting the critical nature of addressing the ongoing humanitarian crisis.  

A Call for Collaborative Action

In closing, Ambassador Kariuki emphasized the need for closer collaboration with UNOWAS and regional organizations in light of the challenges outlined. The UK joins others in calling for a presidential statement of the Council to reflect this commitment to addressing the multifaceted issues facing the Sahel region.   Sources: THX News, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office & James Kariuki.
