plus: how police view migrant policy
| | | | The COP30 UN climate change conference kicks off in Belém, Brazil on Monday, and tens of thousands of people are expected to attend. Among them are members of NGOs and other non-state actors who are keen to make their voices heard. It may not be easy. Beyond the problem of the sheer number of attendees, there's also the fact that COPs are now hosting many first-time participants who may lack the know-how and contacts to influence the talks. We look at how COPs exploded into mega-events – and why it's so difficult to trim them back down. It is self-evident that women should be involved in peacemaking efforts around the world, and a recent analysis proves that when they are included in peace agreements, it reduces the probability of conflict recurrence by 11%. When UN leadership supports their work, the percentage rises to 37%. Speaking last month, UN secretary general António Guterres warned of an underfunding of women peacebuilders. The authors of the analysis argue that world leaders must invest in local women's organisations that can facilitate "sustainable and legitimate peace on the ground". The European Commission wants to make it easier to deport irregular migrants. But what do the people who have to order and carry out those deportations think? A study of police officers and judges reveals misgivings and frustration, tied to both bureaucratic constraints and migrants' rights. "The way expulsions work is as if I had to do a job, but my hands are tied," one officer said. And this from a judge: irregularity should be handled "through regularisation policies… not by criminalising migrants". |  | Philippe Theise Editor, Paris | |  Dr Hayley Walker, IÉSEG School of Management Tens of thousands of people are expected to attend the COP30 UN climate change conference in Brazil.
