“…In other cases, non-state intuitions act as an arbiter and spatial counter to state violence, such as exemplified through spatial sanctuary. Research on the orthodox church in Georgia, highlights the use of territoriality to establish the church’s power beyond its political linkage to the sovereign state (Merabishvili and Metreveli 2021). Church sanctuary during times of civil conflict, such as the Sri Lankan civil war, is often a fragile space of protection that fosters novel questions about the functionality of sanctuary during conflict and humanitarian crises, which raise new questions about sovereign ontologies (Johnson and Korf 2021).…”

This report focuses on the diverse and multiple manifestations of political, state, and counter-state violence. Many of the examinations of political violence in this report highlight the continued need for disparate methodological and analytic lenses towards robust understandings of political violence across scales. Displacements and mobilities associated with flight from conflict are discussed in relation to the institutionalization of harm, trauma and containment through various state and supranational mechanisms of control. These mobilities include border crossings and associated violence against vulnerable populations seeking refuge. This is buttressed by discursive binary logics, such as us/them categorizations, which remain endemic to both structural and physical violence and foundational to right wing populism, jingoism, and other forms of political extremism. This report concludes by arguing the peace is not the opposite of war but rather its temporal substitute and partner in an assemblage of political and economic co-dependence.
