UN Working Group on the Use of Mercenaries <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

On 22 and 23 September, CEI International Affairs organised and hosted a meeting of international experts to discuss the content of a draft international treaty to regulate the privatisation of force by states. The group consisted of two current members of the UN Working Group on the Use of Mercenaries, Dr Elzbieta Karska, president of the group, and Patricia Arias; one former member of the group, Jos\u00e9 Luis G\u00f3mez del Prado; Dr Helena Torroja, professor of international public law at the University of Barcelona (UB) and academic director of the CEI; and Arturo Pallard\u00f3, a UB doctoral student. The meeting was very productive and considerable progress was made on the content and scope of the future treaty. The CEI will continue to provide international assistance to the group. <\/span><\/p>\n

Press release on the 4th<\/sup> Conference on Security and Defence<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

On Wednesday, 14 October, the Centre for International Studies Foundation (CEI International Affairs) and the Spanish Institute for Strategic Studies held the fourth edition of the Conference on Security and Defence in Barcelona. The conference examined the main strands of action of the group known as the Islamic State or ISIS. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Following a magnificent introduction by Jordi Quero, a professor at Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), offering an initial overview of ISIS, several renowned specialists spoke about the cornerstones of the group\u2019s actions. Colonel Emilio Sanch\u00e9z Rojas offered a precise description of its military capabilities; Jes\u00fas A. Nu\u00f1ez, co-director of the Institute of Studies on Conflicts and Humanitarian Action, discussed the difficulty of identifying and quantifying its sources of funding; and Gabriel Garroum, a political scientist specialised in the Middle East, gave an excellent presentation on how the sophisticated communication network the group has created through its dextrous use of social networks works. It was ultimately concluded that the triad of religion, violence and social services has allowed the group to gain a foothold in significant portions of the territories of Iraq and Syria. The repercussions of the Russian intervention and the role of the United States in this complex game in which nothing is what it seems were also examined. <\/span><\/p>\n
