From June until August 2020, Swisspeace<\/a>, in cooperation with elbarlament\u2019s local experts in Iraq, developed a scoping study on the conflict context of the Nineveh governorate in Iraq and the role of women in the current peace process. The study aims to support elbarlament e.V. within the framework of the project \u201cTowards Enhancing Women\u2019s Participation in Peace Processes in the Nineveh Region<\/a>\u201d, a project commissioned by the GIZ. The project involves the drafting of a strategy paper on improved participation of women in peace, reconciliation, transitional justice, and conflict resolution processes in Nineveh; inspired by the UN Security Council Resolution 1325. elbarlament e.V\u2019s strategy paper has been finalised and will be published in the upcoming weeks. It will offer recommendations on these issues as well as an executive summary that will be submitted to the Iraqi President\u2019s Office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The study sets out with a brief analysis of the conflict history of Iraq in general, and the Nineveh Governorate in particular, outlining key actors and lines of conflict and tensions as well as their underlying drivers. It then provides insights into the research participants\u2019 definitions of peace and their assessment of ongoing peacebuilding activities, including the main challenges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The cornerstone of the study is dedicated to women\u2019s participation in Nineveh. Starting with women\u2019s participation in political decision-making, it continues with their involvement in peacebuilding, focusing on why it matters and why it is currently insufficient. Furthermore, it looks at the role of UNSCR 1325 in Iraq, both past and present, and draws conclusions for the Second National Action Plan for the resolution\u2019s implementation. It finishes the section on participation by looking at the current status of female refugees\u2019 participation and what needs ought to be addressed to increase it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The study then moves on to a short section on transitional justice, sketching the research respondents\u2019 trust and evaluation of existing judicial institutions to bring justice as well as their attitude to the establishment of an international criminal tribunal. It finishes with recommendations and entry points for action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
