SUMMARY:[WebDebate #48] Virtual and hybrid diplomacy: What have we learned?
DESCRIPTION:In light of social distancing and lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, diplomatic practice had to adapt. Overall\, diplomacy has proven remarkably resilient. Videoconferencing and other means of digital communication have ensured continuity of diplomatic practice and negotiations. Hybrid (blended) forms of diplomacy that combine in-situ and virtual attendance at meetings have emerged as another adaptation. Given the advantages\, this form of hybrid diplomacy is here to stay. Diplomatic practice has always existed at the interplay of continuity and change\, and the present moment is a crucial turning point which might determine the future of diplomatic practice. \nJoin us on Tuesday\, 8th June\, at 8am EST (12:00 UTC | 08:00 EDT | 14:00 CEST | 20:00 CST). \nRegistrations are open \nRegister×In October 2020\, Diplo provided initial research on this topic at its conference and in its research report. Now\, more than a year after the start of the pandemic\, we need to ask: Where are we now? What have we learned? And how will the future of diplomatic practice be influenced? In order to shed light on these topics\, we are joined by two scholars from the Oxford Digital Diplomacy Research Group. \nSpeakers\nProf. Corneliu Bjola is associate professor of Diplomatic Studies at the University of Oxford\, and head of the Oxford Digital Diplomacy Research Group. He also serves as a faculty fellow at the Center on Public Diplomacy at the University of Southern California\, and as a professorial lecturer at the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna. He has published extensively on issues related to the impact of digital technology on the conduct of diplomacy with a recent focus on public diplomacy\, international negotiations\, and methods for countering digital propaganda. His recent co-edited volume Digital Diplomacy and International Organizations: Autonomy\, Legitimacy and Contestation (Routledge\, 2020) examines the broader ramifications of digital technologies on the internal dynamics\, multilateral policies\, and strategic engagements of international organisations. \nBjola is currently working on the new co-edited volume Digital International Relations\, examining how digital disruption changes the technological parameters of ordering processes in world politics. \nDr Ilan Manor is a digital diplomacy scholar at Tel Aviv University and a member of the Oxford Digital Diplomacy Research Group. His book\, The Digitalization of Public Diplomacy\, was published in 2019. His co-edited volume\, Public Diplomacy and the Politics of Uncertainty\, was published in 2020. \nAbout our WebDebates\nOur WebDebates on the future of diplomacy are live-streamed on the first Tuesday of every month. They are organised by Diplo within the framework of the International Forum on Diplomatic Training (IFDT). Learn more about our series of WebDebates here. \nRegister

SUMMARY:The role of the Human Rights Council in promoting a human rights-based approach to new and emerging technologies
DESCRIPTION:High-level Panel Discussion \nThe role of the Human Rights Council in promoting\na human rights-based approach to new and emerging technologies \nTuesday\, 15th June 2021 \n 9am EDT (13:00 UTC | 15:00 CEST | 21:00 CST) \nCo-organizer: Core Group on new technologies (South Korea\, Austria\, Brazil\, Denmark\, Morocco\, Singapore); OHCHR \nRegistrations are open \nRegister×In his “Call for Action on Human Rights”\, UN Secretary-General Guterres identified new and emerging technologies as a new frontier for human rights. He called for the development of a human rights-based for the digital space\, following-up on the recommendations of the High-Level Panel on Digital Cooperation. Within the framework of the Human Rights Council and its special mechanisms\, numerous resolutions\, publications\, and recommendations have emerged in recent years addressing the impact of new technologies on specific rights (right to privacy\, freedom of association\, freedom of expression\, children’s rights\, economic/social/cultural rights). In 2019\, the HRC adopted a resolution tasking its Advisory Committee to develop a global perspective on the issue and to identify options for action for the HRC. The report will be presented to the HRC at its 47th session in June 2021. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Renaissance diplomacy: Compromise as a solution to conflict [A historical journey #6]
DESCRIPTION:A masterclass with Jovan Kurbalija\nDiplomacy and technology: A historical journey #6\nRenaissance diplomacy: Compromise as a solution to conflict \n08:00 EDT (12:00 UTC | 14:00 CEST | 20:00 CST) \nRegistrations are open \nRegister×Join us in our next journey through the history of diplomacy and technology. In June\, we will look at Renaissance diplomacy\, and the impact the invention of the printing press had on diplomacy during the Reformation. \nFind out more about how technology influenced the history of diplomacyOur experts involved\nExecutive Director \nJovan KurbalijaRenaissance diplomacy developed between Italian city-states. Relations between these states were influenced by three key elements: no hegemonic power\, a strong interest in cooperating\, and solving problems through peaceful means. Like the Byzantine Empire\, the Italian city-states preferred to use diplomacy as a way of solving disputes. Italian city-states – in particular Venice – also borrowed certain diplomatic techniques from the Byzantines\, such as deception\, bribery\, and espionage. These later became the trademark of Renaissance diplomacy. \nDuring the Renaissance\, the first full diplomatic system was established. It consisted of permanent diplomatic missions\, diplomatic reporting\, and diplomatic privileges. In diplomatic history\, it has been widely accepted that the first permanent diplomatic mission was established in 1455\, representing the Duke of Milan in Genoa. \nAnother important development\, linked mainly to the Reformation\, was the invention of the printing press. This invention had a considerable impact on all functions of society\, including diplomacy. The Church’s dominance through parchment-based writing was challenged\, and its participation in diplomacy gradually weakened. Clergymen no longer held a monopoly in literacy and were no longer an indispensable part of each diplomatic mission. \nDuring this period of slow and undeveloped transportation and communications\, diplomats were among the few who had the privilege of travelling to remote places in search of news. They played an important role in transferring and spreading knowledge and information. \nTo find out more\, join us for the next Masterclass episode ‘Renaissance diplomacy: Compromise as a solution to conflict’\, on Thursday\, June 24th\, at 8am EDT \nRegister
