The event will consist of a brief presentation of the publication by DCAF, followed by a high-level panel discussion featuring the Government Minister of Ecuador, the Minister of Security of Honduras, the Undersecretary of the Interior of Chile, the General Director of the Colombian Police, the Secretary of Multidimensional Security of the OAS, and a former governor of the Misak indigenous community. 

Following this event, we will invite you to the international launch webinar, which will take place on the 16th of April at 15:00 Geneva time. This second webinar, held in English, will feature a different panel of high-profile experts and practitioners from various regions, including Europe, Africa, North America, and Latin America. Details will follow. 

The use of force by the police is a priority issue on the political and policy agendas in a large number of countries around the world. Recent events have demonstrated its importance for police legitimacy and for democracy. This is a particularly complex issue that must be approached with the utmost objectivity.  These webinars will be a space to exchange perspectives and explore the challenges, trends, and key considerations on the governance of the use of force by the police.
