Crimea after Five Years of Russian Occupation The Threat to Global International Order Tuesday, March 19 | 9:30am - 11:30am In the five years since its invasion and attempted annexation of the Crimean Peninsula, Russia has continued violating the norms and standards of the international order in Ukraine’s Donbas and the Sea of Azov. Since the invasion, Ukraine and the international community have engaged in extensive efforts to prevent violence, halt violations of human rights and religious freedoms, and restore the country’s territorial integrity. Important statements, such as Secretary Pompeo’s 2018 Crimea Declaration, reject the illegal annexation and are meant to mitigate the possibility of another conflict in the region. RSVP Now Women Leading Nonviolent Movements Friday, March 22 | 9:30am - 11:30am  Women have often been the invisible actors in history—sidelined from formal political and social spaces —but creating their own spaces for change through engaging in nonviolent resistance. Research shows that movements with active women’s participation are more likely to maintain nonviolent discipline and achieve their goals. From fighting for human rights in Venezuela to protesting unconstitutional amendments in Uganda, women leaders of nonviolent movements have proven to be key actors for peace. RSVP Now War Legacies in Vietnam: Reconciliation and Future Cooperation WEBCAST ONLY Tuesday, March 26, 2019 | 8:30am - 2:30pm The governments of the United States of America and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, in partnership with the United States Institute of Peace, invite you to a landmark event examining the transformation from enemies to partners by the two countries since the end of the war in 1975.
