EDITORIAL

AN INTERNATIONAL EVENT DEDICATED TO PEACE The Normandy World Peace Forum is a new international event organised by the Normandy Region. It will be held annually on the day after the commemoration events for the 6 June 1944 Allied landings and the Battle of Normandy. This forum is an opportunity for reflection and discussion on tensions around the world and peace-building. It is run by experts in geopolitics, alongside representatives of States, the academic world and civil society. On 7 and 8 June in Caen, at the Abbaye aux Dames, the 2018 forum offers two days of conferences, debates and meetings around the theme “Globalising peace: new wars, new peace”. More specifically, geographical debates on the situation in Syria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Libya, Afghanistan and in the Balkans, and thematic workshops on nuclear deterrence, war journalism, child soldiers, and new weapons and threats will be proposed to the public.

The collective imagination often refers to war as a head-on opposition between two or more states. This vision of armed conflict seems today to be no longer valid because of the proliferation of non-state agencies. The multitude of state and non-state agencies involved in the war in Syria, and the new form of terrorism that we have been experiencing for many years are just two examples out of many. At the same time, the causes of contemporary conflicts are tending to change considerably: scarcity of resources, rising water levels, increasing inequalities, and rising prices of raw materials are all factors that give rise to conflicts. This forum will also be marked by intense moments of emotion and discussion with the general public: a concert for peace by Youssou N’Dour in Omaha Beach, events in the Village for Peace in the park of the Abbaye aux Dames, and the European programme for education in Human Rights in which eight hundred young people will take part. Through this event that we are about to experience, you can see that the Normandy Region is more than ever committed to embodying peace and keeping it alive.

ABBAYE AUX DAMESThe Normandy World Peace Forum welcomes you to the Abbaye aux Dames in Caen, the headquarters of the Normandy Region. The Abbaye-aux-Dames, like the Abbaye aux Hommes, headquarters of the City of Caen, was created by Duke Guillaume and his wife Mathilde of Flanders in the 11th century, making Caen a centrepiece of the duchy of Nor-mandy, a few steps away from a powerful castle.After seven centuries of Benedictine presence, the French Revolution marked a turning point in the history of the Abbaye aux Dames. Having become a national property, it was in turn a barracks (1792-1809), a beggars’ home(1809-1818), the Hôtel-Dieu (1823-1908) and finally the Saint-Louis hos-pice until 1984.The Michel d’Ornano park (1992), which already existed at the time of the abbey, whose rows of lime trees are listed, is dominated by an imposing Lebanon cedar planted in December 1849. In choosing to move into these beautiful buildings, which were completely rebuilt in the 18th century, the Normandy Region has reforged a link with one of the finest pages of its history.

↑ CONFERENCE: CONFLICTS, TENSIONS AND CONTEMPORARY VIOLENCE: THE STATE OF THE WORLD 10.30 AM • 12.00 NOON

The collective imagination often refers to war as a head-on opposition between two states. This vision of armed conflict seems today to be no longer valid be-cause of the proliferation of non-state agencies.—How can we characterise, identify and define these new forms of violence? This introductory conference lays the groundwork for the debate on the changing concept of war and draws up an inventory of contemporary conflicts.

→ DEBATE DETERRENCE, PROLIFERATION, DISARMAMENT: WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF MILITARY NUCLEAR ACTIVITIES?Since they were first used in 1945, nuclear weapons have become a central feature of the international geopolitical scene. For some major pow-ers, they continue to repre-sent the ultimate deterrent, while for others, non-pro-liferation and disarmament have become major interna-tional issues.

Champchesnel, researcher in nuclear deterrence and disarmament, IRSEM

↑ Jean-Marie Collin, spokesman for the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN)

→ DEBATE WARTIME JOURNALISM: HOW CAN THE UNSPEAKABLE BE TOLD? In partnership with the Bayeux-Calva-dos-Normandy AwardThey are on the scene of the most violent conflicts. What drives war reporters? How can we convey to the public the feelings aroused by the daily horror of these bloody conflicts? While the devel-opment of technological re-sources has profoundly mod-ified the working conditions of reporters, their dedication to their profession has not changed.

→ DEBATE DEMOCRATICREPUBLIC OF CONGO: HOW CAN THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY BE MOBILISED?Since the early 2000s, the number of deaths related to the many conflicts that are disfiguring this country, one of the largest in Africa, has grown still further. In spite of this, the international com-munity is failing to become sufficiently involved to allow peace to make a lasting re-turn to the DRC.

→ DEBATE WESTERN BALKANS: ENDLESS POST-WAR

Nearly a quarter of a century after the end of the Yugo-slav wars, the Western Bal-kan countries are not able to emerge from an intermi-nable “transition”. Severe-ly hit by the 2008 crisis, all these countries are suffering massive structural unem-ployment and political power monopolised by leaders with nationalist tendencies. As new social dynamics emerge, will the Balkans be able to break the deadly status quo that has prevailed since weapons fell silent?

→ DEBATE RELIGIONS: EXCUSES FOR WAR OR FACTORS OF PEACE?Since the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the USSR, it is sometimes said that the world is witnessing a religious comeback interna-tionally. Increasingly instru-mentalised by violent groups, religions can become a pre-text for war. Conversely, religions are in many cases a factor of paci-fication and those who prac-tise them are at the forefront of prevention and conflict resolution. What is the real place of religion in contem-porary conflicts?

→ DEBATE CHILD SOLDIERS: PREVENTING THEM FROM BEING RE-CRUITED AND ENSUR-ING THEIR REINTEGRA-TION The enlistment of children in armed forces is formally prohibited by international conventions and has disas-trous consequences for their development and their return to civilian life. This workshop will be an op-portunity to learn from dif-ferent experiences relating to their reintegration around the world, especially in Co-lombia.

Many terrorist groups have set-tled in the region and regu-larly threaten the territorial and political integrity of the states there. G5 Sahel now stands for the regional re-sponse to these challeng-es, even though its ability to stabilise the region in a sustainable manner remains to be demonstrated and it continues to face numerous financial and logistical ob-stacles.

→ DEBATE AFGHANISTAN: HOW CAN THE CURRENT SPIRAL BE STOPPED?Between 2012 and 2015, nearly 90 percent of NA-TO-led international troops withdrew from Afghanistan. In the first three months of 2018, Kabul was hit by eight attacks, killing over 200 peo-ple. How can such a downturn be explained, after almost two decades of international presence? Why are the Afghan state and the successor to the ISAF International Force since 2015, the Resolute Support mission, unable to prevent this deterioration?

→ DEBATE KOREANPENINSULA: A BIG STEP TOWARDS RECONCILIATION?Engaged in a cold war for nearly 65 years, the two Ko-reas have seen their relations starting to thaw over recent months. The United States and China are changing their tune and agreeing to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. Is this just another episode of appeasement be-fore the resumption of ten-sion, or a strategy by North Korea to end the sanctions that are suffocating it and gain time to achieve its nu-clear ambition?

Can the two Koreas really take their destiny into their own hands without being the economic and geostra-tegic toy of the great pow-ers around them, and start a lasting peace process?

5.30 PM • 6.45 PM

The emergence of a new form of terrorism at the dawn of the 21st century is one of the notable developments of modern wars. This threat calls for global responses. And yet the international community is struggling to find cross-cutting solutions that go further than security cooperation. In this conference accounts by political and civil society representatives about recent terrorist acts and new forms of violence will be presented.

→ DEBATE COMMEMO-RATING, RECOUNTING, EDUCATING: HOW CAN A PEACE CULTURE BE FOUNDED?Memory education, educa-tion for human rights and citizenship, education for sustainable development goals... Many forms of edu-cation favour and strengthen the sense of belonging to a community. And yet recent controversies in the United States around Confederate monuments or the appear-ance of new forms of radical-isation show that it is not so simple to found a true culture of peace that helps people to live together.

→ DEBATE UKRAINE: AN EXAMPLE OF A “HYBRID CONFLICT”?Hybrid conflicts are a new type of conflict involving all types of state and non-state agencies, thus disrupting the conventional distinction between military and civil-ians. They are also defined by the use of conventional and unconventional means of combat and by the fact that these are not limited to a battlefield or even to a specific physical area. Is the conflict that has been going on since 2014 in Donbass, the eastern part of Ukraine, a particularly relevant example of a “hybrid conflict”?

→ DEBATE A EUROPE OF DEFENCE: AT LAST?Since France’s rejection of the European Defence Com-munity (EDC) in 1954, a Eu-ropean Defence programme, or rather its absence, has become over time a symbol of the limits of European in-tegration. However, in recent years, because of the major security challenges facing Europe and the destabiliza-tion of its borders, the Eu-ropean Defence programme has made a major comeback on the European political agenda.

At the PyeongChang Olym-pics (South Korea) in Feb-ruary 2018, North Korea showed another image by sending a delegation of ath-letes to its neighbour to the South.

→ CONFERENCE: DEFINING A NEW PEACE

5.30 PM • 7.00PM

The dictionary defines peace as “a state where coun-tries or nations are not at war”.. According to this definition, France, to mention only this country, cannot be considered at war. But the vast majority of the French political class decreed that the country was “at war” in the aftermath of the January 2015 and No-vember 2016 terrorist attacks. Peace should no longer be equated with a simple state of non-war between two nations but should now refer to a perpetually developing process.

→ DEBATES THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT: IS PEACE IMPOSSIBLE?The Israeli-Palestinian con-flict is probably the most publicised conflict since the end of the Second World War. But the very origin of the conflict remains unclear for most of us as the causes are many: territorial, religious or access to natural resourc-es. 25 years after the hope raised by the Oslo Accords, the positions of the differ-ent parties seem to be mov-ing further and further apart from each other.
