What are frozen conflicts? Did you know that over 3 million people living in Eurasia today are affected by frozen conflicts? Their lives have been frozen in these conditions of political uncertainty and insecurity because while these armed conflicts have been suspended, no peace treaties have been agreed upon to permanently end them.
In this episode, we are honoured to have Ambassador Thomas Greminger, Director of the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP) and former Secretary General of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) from 2017 to 2020, to shed light on how to harness the potential of trade for peace in frozen conflicts.
With a lifelong career in peace and security, Ambassador Greminger shares with us his views on frozen conflicts in Eurasia and how trade can be used as a confidence-building measure (CBM) in peacebuilding.
Guest: Ambassador Thomas Greminger, Director of the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP) and former Secretary General of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).
Host: Mr. Axel M. Addy, Former Minister of Commerce and Industry and Chief Negotiator of Liberia's accession to the WTO.

Dr Paul Vallet: Welcome to the Geneva Centre for Security Policy weekly podcast. I'm your host, Dr Paul Vallet, Associate Fellow in the GCSP Global Fellowship Initiative. For the next few weeks, I'm talking with subject matter experts on issues of peace, security, and international cooperation. Thanks for tuning in. For observers of international relations and development, Africa is never out of the news. The recent past has been rich with more developments from several presidential elections to the offensive of jihadist fighters reaching Mozambique, Ethiopia's dispute with neighbouring countries or on the Nile basin water management, are among many issues affecting human security. I'm joined today by Dr Delidji Eric Degila who has been one of the experts on Africa addressing the Leadership and International Security Course this year at the GCSP. Dr Degila is with the Geneva Graduate Institute of International Relations and Development, where he's a visiting lecturer in the Department of International Relations and Political Science, a senior researcher with the Global Migration Center, and a research associate with the Center on Conflict, Development, and Peacebuilding. He focuses his work on state building, on armed conflicts, religion and politics, migration, foreign policies and international organisations and on global health and development. His academic career spans both Africa as an associate professor at the École Nationale d'Administration et de Magistrature du Benin, but also here in Geneva, also in France, in Morocco, in Mexico, and also two distinguished universities in Japan, Waseda and Sophia. He also advised several international organisations including the African Union. Welcome to the podcast Dr Degila and thank you for joining us today.
