Organised crime and violence

The first meeting of the newly formed Advisory Group for Disrupting Violent Connections took place in London on 8 May 2013. The meeting included 16 participants from academia, civil society, probation services and diplomacy.

Our second Conflict Ideas Forum was on the topic of large-scale violent conflict that neither fits formal and familiar definitions of "armed conflict", nor does it fit into the mandates of international institutions.

On 10th December we held our first Conflict Ideas Forum at the Royal Commonwealth Society in London.
