We are pleased to invite you to the webinar ‘Preventing Targeted Violence: An Introduction to Threat Assessment’ by Sammie Wicks.

Incidents of targeted violence continue to plague communities across the United States. Since the 2001 September 11th attacks, the US has shifted from a repressive Counter Terrorism approach to one seeking to intervene before arrest, criminal prosecution, and detention become necessary. Many approaches to prevention have been leveraged to reduce harm to communities, with a renewed emphasis placed on behavioral threat assessment. With behavioral threat assessment being used outside of school and law enforcement settings, there is a need to improve understanding of the approach among a broader community of violence prevention practitioners. The National Policing Institute will provide an introduction to behavioral threat assessment and discuss potential opportunities and limitations to this approach.

Sammie Wicks (link to linkdin) is a Senior Program Manager at the National Policing Institute’s, Center for Mass Violence Response Studies. Prior to working with the National Policing Institute, Sammie served as a law enforcement officer for ten years.

Thursday, May 11th, 2023 8:00 PM – 9:15 PM Ukraine time

Russia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine, initiated on February 24, 2022, is among the most—if not the most—significant shocks to the global order since World War II. The lecture assesses the stakes of the invasion for the core principles that lie at the heart of contemporary international law and the world order that it has helped to create. The speaker argues that however this war ends, it will reshape, in ways large and small, the world we all inhabit.

Professor Hakimi before joining Columbia in 2022, was the James V. Campbell Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School, where she was also the associate dean for faculty and research and the associate dean for academic programming. She previously served as an attorney-adviser in the Office of the Legal Adviser in the U.S. Department of State, where she counseled policymakers on nuclear nonproliferation, efforts to reconstruct Iraq immediately after the 2003 war, international investment disputes, and international civil aviation.

We are pleased to invite you to a series of online lectures by Dr. Enrico Albanesi, University of Genoa, Italy.

Dr. Enrico Albanesi is an Associate Professor of Constitutional Law at the Department of Law, University of Genoa, where he holds courses in Constitutional Law and Legislative Drafting. He is also an Associate Research Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies (IALS), University of London, where he co-leads the IALS Law Reform Project.

Monday, 15^th May 2023, 2 pm Kyiv time (3 pm CET): The Impact of EU Law on Domestic Constitutional Law.

Due to the direct applicability, direct effect, and primacy of EU law over domestic (even constitutional) law, the task of applying EU law and disapplying domestic law is on ordinary courts. However, some relevant issues are still managed directly by Constitutional Courts: their primary mission, when it comes to EU law, is dealing with antinomies between EU law and counter-limits (viz., supreme values of the Constitution). Such issues pose considerable challenges to traditional concepts of constitutional law, such as the concept of sovereignty (is the EU a sovereign order? Are EU Member States still sovereign?). As will be demonstrated, from a perspective of constitutional pluralism, judicial dialogue between Constitutional Courts and the European Court of Justice is the only key to resolving such antinomies.

Wednesday, 17^th May 2023, 2 pm Kyiv time (3 pm CET): The Impact of the European Convention on Human Rights on Domestic Constitutional Law.

The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) affects domestic constitutional law, although in different ways in each State, depending on the tools used to review the compatibility of domestic legislation with the ECHR. In Italy, for example, ordinary courts bring such a case before the Constitutional Court when it is impossible to interpret a piece of legislation consistently with the ECHR. The challenge for the Court is thus to balance opposing (i.e., domestic and conventional) constitutional values. The methodology to deal with such a challenge will be critically analyzed, focusing on Italy as a case study. From this perspective, the importance of Protocol No. 16 to the ECHR (signed and ratified by Ukraine but not by Italy) will be demonstrated.

To take attend the lecture(s), please register until May 13, 2023 (inclusive) via the link.

Information plays a pivotal role in times of unrest, especially population displacement. Not only does it enable people to protect themselves, but we are increasingly seeing complex data being used as a means to understand and respond to events. Technology has a fundamental impact on humanitarian crises – and what lies at the heart of this is how data is moved. Different technologies, such as AI and blockchain, open up new ways of responding to emergencies. This session will look at how technology, data, and information coalesce and what impact this has on humanitarian crises.
