Unfortunately this event has been cancelled please look out for a rescheduled date soon

This conversation is hosted by the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict and Caux Forum for Human Security

Summary: Security is often seen in terms of defence: keeping the enemy out. But for ordinary people all over the world, security is much more than the absence of conflict: it involves food, shelter, opportunities and everything that makes for a stable and healthy life. The lack of these conditions often fuels conflict. The struggle for people-centred security rests on five pillars:

• living sustainably
• inclusive economics
• just governance
• healing memory
• intercultural dialogue

Speaker: Ambassador Mohammed Sahnoun, formerly special advisor to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and chair of the Caux Forum for Human Security.

Come and take part in a conversation with Ambassador Sahnoun on how each of us can play a role. Professor Jennifer Welsh, co-director of the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict, will respond to his comments. This will be followed by a chance to interact with Ambassador Sahnoun and other participants, over light refreshments.
