12:00 - 13:30 Session I - How far does security sector reform still have to go?

Europe’s national government aid donor agencies, international organisations and NGOs have promoted the concept and practice of security sector reform (SSR) in post-conflict and post-authoritarian states. How successful have these efforts been, and what problems still need to be addressed?

Session II - Where do private security companies fit into SSR?

Private security companies offering both military and civil services are becoming involved in a widening range of SSR activities. What has been their contribution to the reform of security institutions and practices? How effective have they been, and do these private security companies pose any challenges to the regulation and ongoing reform of the security sector?
