There is a war again in Europe. The organisation that was created to prevent such bloody conflicts is helpless, like it has proven to be so many times before. A few years ago, we have seen a similar catastrophe in Syria, earlier we have seen it on the territories of the former Yugoslavia, and we can mention the war in Vietnam, or the Palestinian conflict having remained unsolved for the past 80 years. There have been repeated violations of the UN charter \u2013 possibly more than the respect thereof \u2013 by its member states: the US in Guatemala in 1953, the Soviet Union in Hungary in 1956, or the Warsaw pact troops in Czechoslovakia in 1968 are just a few of the many examples. The list could go on. Is it a problem of the charter or the organisation? Is it the structure or the application of basic principles? Is the international community keeping alive an obsolete conglomerate or is it missing out on a grand opportunity? Is there or could there be an alternative to the UN, or does need radical reforms to become capable of accomplishing its mission? What role can the EU, the US, and other nation states assume in the efforts to reformulate their political communities and maintain a culture of peace in the face of violence? As for the European community, will it be realistic for it to maintain its positions of soft-power without the exercise of hard-power? What are the aspirations of the EU as to its migration and integration policies?<\/p>\n The 28th International Summer University, organised by the Institute of Advanced Studies K\u0151szeg in partnership with ISES Foundation, and the University of Pannonia focuses on war, armed conflicts and the role of the United Nations in dealing with such conflicts. The discussion of war, and the prevention, resolution of armed conflicts, as well as the practices of reconciliation will point to the responsibility, agency, and limitations of the UN, the most unique supra-national organization ever brought to life, and raises the question of the role of other organisations, civil or otherwise, in the formulation of the new order and status quo. Topics we will cover are as follows:<\/p>\n 15:00 \u2013 15.30 Registration<\/p>\n 15:30 \u2013 16:00 Participants\u2019 introductions<\/p>\n Moderator: Izabella Ag\u00e1rdi<\/p>\n 16:00 \u2013 16:10 Ferenc Miszlivetz, <\/strong>General Director, iASK<\/p>\n 16:10 \u2013 16:20 Mikl\u00f3s R\u00e9thelyi, <\/strong>Chair, Hungarian UNESCO Committee<\/p>\n 16:20 \u2013 16:30 Andr\u00e1s Nagy<\/strong>, Senior research fellow, iASK<\/p>\n 16:30 \u2013 16:40 B\u00e9la B\u00e1sthy, <\/strong>Mayor of K\u0151szeg<\/p>\n 16:40 \u2013 17:00 Coffe Break<\/p>\n 17:00 \u2013 18:30 Panel<\/p>\n Russia, Europe and the New Global Peace Order <\/strong><\/p>\n The \u201cspecial military operation\u201d that the Russian President Vladimir Putin started in Ukraine on February 24, 2022, is reshaping the world order in political, economic, and security terms. The views on this armed conflict vary across political and business circles and elites, dramatically effecting not only Ukraine but also the European Union and Russia.\u00a0 While new division lines between variously perceived political and economic interests become acute, some major questions remain unanswered: what is Putin\u2019s endgame? What are the short-term and long-term impacts of the war on Ukraine, Europe, and Russia? Panelists will discuss these and related questions.<\/em><\/p>\n 17:00 \u2013 17:30 Keynote Address: L\u00fcdger K\u00fchnhardt<\/p>\n 17:30 -18:30 Panel Discussion<\/p>\n Chair: Ferenc Miszlivetz<\/p>\n Panelists:<\/p>\n 19:00 Musical performance by K\u00e1roly Binder in the Synagogue of K\u0151szeg<\/p>\n 20:00 Reception<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Registration and login: 9:30 \u2013 10:00<\/p>\n Chair: Attila P\u00f3k<\/p>\n MORNING SESSION: 10:00-12:00<\/p>\n International Law and the Efficiency of Supranational Organisations<\/strong><\/p>\n The Hague Peace Conference of 1899 and the later agreements, institutions and contracts could not avoid international conflicts developing into wars. What is the difference between the legal status of the UN and of the previous institutions from the Vienna Conference through the League of Nations to different transnational cooperation? Where are the limits of the legal authority of the UN and what kind of inbuilt contradictions avoid that it could properly function? What can be done for creating a really effective organization?<\/em><\/p>\n Panelists:<\/p>\n 12:00-14:00 Lunch break<\/p>\n 14:00 \u2013 16:00 AFTERNOON SESSION 1 (group activity):<\/p>\n Topic: The UN: To Reform or to Replace?<\/strong><\/p>\n The \u201cUnited Nations\u201d was a synonym for those nations that were fighting against fascism, starting 80 years ago. The Charter and the foundation of the organization is nearly the same old, meanwhile the world has changed enormously after that. What were the reforms that shaped and reshaped the UN in its history and what could be the scenarios for an effectively working global organization? Is the UN reformable or should it be replaced? What do think tanks suggest and what is the interest of the real decision makers? How does the next generation look at the UN, is it a dinosaur or a spaceship?<\/em><\/p>\n Working groups are lead by morning panellists.<\/p>\n 16:00 \u2013 18:00 AFTERNOON SESSION 2 (group activity):<\/p>\n Topic: The War of Russia on Ukraine: Geopolitical and Historical Perspectives<\/strong><\/p>\n The panel is aimed to focus on empires that seem to be constant players of word history including the first and second world wars. Empires, imagined or real, play key roles in contemporary relations of between nations being with each other in harmony or conflict. The panel will focus on the historical, sociological, economic and social psychological legacy of empires in the emerging new world order with a special emphasise on the present war between Russia and the Ukraine.<\/em><\/p>\n Participants: Sean Cleary, Andrew Arato, Csaba Olay, Gy\u00f6rgy Csepeli<\/p>\n Moderator: Izabella Ag\u00e1rdi<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Day trip to the UN Headquarters and to the Vienna School of International Studies<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Registration & Login: 9:30 \u2013 10:00<\/p>\n MORNING SESSION: 10:00 \u2013 12:00 Panel Discussion<\/p>\n Peacekeeping Victories and Fiascos: The Widely-Known Failures and Hardly-known Success Stories of the UN<\/strong><\/p>\n From the unresolved Palestinian issue through the Korean war, the failures dealing with the Soviet invasion in Hungary in 1956 and with that of the Warsaw Pact in Czechoslovakia in 1968, through the tragedy in Rwanda, in Yugoslavia, in Iraq, in Syria and currently in Ukraine dramatically raises the question of the trouble-shooting capacity of the UN. What are the analogies between these tragedies, what are the lessons to learn and why was the UN inactive? What is the responsibility of the Charter in these failures and what is the share of the great powers of sabotaging the work of the organization once they created? On the other hand, several peacekeeping operations were and are executed in different parts of the world, in conflict zones, in front lines dividing warrior groups, in disputed areas with growing tensions that we do not read in the papers about, unlike those cases when wars start. How effective are these endeavors? What is it like to be deployed in a conflict zone? What are the controversies, achievements, and conclusions of these operations, when seen through the eyes of a participant?<\/em><\/p>\n Chair: Andr\u00e1s Nagy<\/p>\n Panelists (military experts, ex-peacekeepers, historians, political scientists):<\/p>\n 12:30 \u2013 13:30 Lunch break<\/p>\n Afternoon session 1: 13:30 \u2013 14:30\u00a0 Thematic Working Groups<\/p>\n Topic: News and Information in Times of Conflict Afternoon session 2: 14:30 \u2013 16:00\u00a0 Thematic Working Groups<\/p>\n Topic: Dealing with Local Conflicts, Human Security and Migrations in Diverse Geopolitical Contexts<\/strong><\/p>\n Case studies from the <\/em>1956 Hungarian Revolution, the 1968 conflict in Czechoslovakia, Yugoslav War of the 1990s, the genocide in Rwanda, the war in Iraq in 2000s, the civil war in Yemen, the Syrian conflict, the war of Russian on Ukraine will be discussed in small groups.

This panel addresses the key challenges and advantages of AI systems and the role of international organisations in regulating disruptive technologies that are radically transforming the societies at a fast pace. Is it possible to regulate AI to ensure it is being used responsibly worldwide? What kind of global cooperation is required to tackle these pressing issues and how international organizations can work towards safeguarding human values and ethical principles. <\/em><\/p>\n Chair: Ivana Stepanovic<\/p>\n Panelists:<\/p>\n 12:00 \u2013 12:30 Wrap-up, Closing remarks and Feedback<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Izabella Ag\u00e1rdi, research fellow, iASK, K\u0151szeg<\/p>\n Andrew Arat\u00f3, Professor in Political and Social Theory in the Sociology Department at the New School for Social Research<\/p>\n B\u00e9la B\u00e1sthy, Mayor of K\u0151szeg<\/p>\n Dalma B\u00edr\u00f3, Campaign to Stop Killer Robots campaign coordinator, Budapest<\/p>\n J\u00e1nos Bog\u00e1rdi, senior advisor, iASK<\/p>\n L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Borhi, associate professor, Central Eurasian Studies, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana<\/p>\n Sean Cleary, Chairman, Strategic Concepts Ltd., Cape Town<\/p>\n Gy\u00f6rgy Csepeli, Professor of Social Psychology, ELTE, Budapest<\/p>\n David Daou, UNU-EHS, Bonn<\/p>\n Andr\u00e9 Erd\u0151s, former UN Ambassador of Hungary<\/p>\n Katalin Galambos, research fellow, iASK<\/p>\n Cordel Green, vice-chairman of the international bureau for UNESCO’s Information For All Programme (IFAP); and chairman of the UNESCO-IFAP Working Group on Information Accessibility, Kingstown (Jamaica)<\/p>\n Istv\u00e1n Gyarmati, ambassador, professor of security and defense policy, European security, conflict management, Budapest<\/p>\n P\u00e9ter Juh\u00e1sz, professor, Semmelweis University, research fellow, iASK, Budapest and K\u0151szeg<\/p>\n Marianna K\u00e1rm\u00e1n, head of Migration Department at Hungarian Red Cross, Budapest<\/p>\n Ill\u00e9s Katona, Campaign to Stop Killer Robots campaign youth coordinator, Budapest<\/p>\n Krek\u00f3 P\u00e9ter, executive director of Political Capital, Budapest<\/p>\n Ludger K\u00fchnhardt, director, Zentrum f\u00fcr Europ\u00e4ische Integrationsstudies, University of Bonn, Bonn<\/p>\n Anik\u00f3 Magash\u00e1zi, Head of International Relations, iASK, K\u0151szeg<\/p>\n M\u00f3nika M\u00e1tay, senior research fellow, iASK, associate professor of history, ELTE<\/p>\n Anett Matk\u00f3, expert in international realtions, UNICEF Hungary, Budapest<\/p>\n Ferenc Miszlivetz, professor of sociology, Director, iASK, K\u0151szeg<\/p>\n Andr\u00e1s Nagy, senior research fellow, iASK, K\u0151szeg<\/p>\n Csaba Olay, professor, ELTE, Budapest<\/p>\n Lisbeth Pilegaard, Founder & CEO, Pilegaard Consulting, Copenhagen<\/p>\n Ferenc Pongr\u00e1cz, Regional Director of EIT Health InnoStars<\/p>\n Attila P\u00f3k, senior advisor, iASK<\/p>\n Mikl\u00f3s R\u00e9thelyi, chair of the Hungarian National Committee of UNESCO, professor emeritus, Semmelweis University<\/p>\n Ivana Stepanovic, research fellow, iASK, K\u0151szeg<\/p>\n Zolt\u00e1n Szenes, professor emeritus, National University of Public Service, Budapest<\/p>\n Zolt\u00e1n Turb\u00e9k, deputy head of mission of the Hungarian UN \/ WTO Mission at Geneva<\/p>\n L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Z.
