Professor Antoine Buyse, member of the Scientific Board of the Centre for Global Challenges, has been appointed in the (AIV), an independent body which advises the Dutch government and parliament on foreign policy.

Antoine Buyse, who holds the chair on Human Rights in a Multidisciplinary Perspective, became a member of the Human Rights Committee of the AIV. The appointment will be for a period of four years. Earlier, Professor Beatrice de Graaf and Professor Jolle Demmers, both associated with the Centre for Global Challenges, were appointed to the Peace and Security Committee of the AIV.

The Advisory Council on International Affairs is an independent body which advises the Dutch government and parliament on foreign policy. The AIV produces advisory reports about international affairs both on its own initiative and on request. Its main areas of expertise are European cooperation, human rights, development cooperation and security policy.

The Advisory Council focuses on strategic dilemmas and draws attention to new policy matters with a view to the longer term. Especially in this time of rapidly shifting international power relations, sweeping globalisation and far-reaching technological developments, there is a need for thorough analyses. The AIV produces independent advisory reports that provide analysis and interpretation of current international developments and recommendations for Dutch foreign policy, and in this way contributes to political and public debate on matters of international significance.
