Mediating Self-Determination Conflicts

Reports on the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Agenda in the Philippines

The Peacebuilding Program of the Sasakawa Peace Foundation promotes the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda as one of its core pillars. In collaboration with PLCPD (Philippine Legislators' Committee on Population and Development), we have produced three reports aimed at deepening the understanding of the WPS agenda and its implementation in the Philippines. These reports aim to serve as valuable resources for policymakers, researchers, civil society organizations, academic institutions, and other stakeholders engaged in peacebuilding and gender equality.

Soft Recognition: Enabling Participation of Self-Determination Groups in Intergovernmental Organisations

This report examines the interrelationship between international affairs and domestic politics. In today's globalized world, challenges such as climate change, migration, and pandemics transcend national borders and influence domestic issues across countries. The report specifically focuses on "soft recognition" mechanisms that enable self-determining groups to participate in intergovernmental organizations, exploring both the benefits this participation offers and its potential for conflict resolution. The findings provide valuable insights for states and multilateral organizations alike.
