Emergencyresponse staff

from the U.S.begin arriving inPort-au-Prince.

Adoptionorganizations urge

Congress to allowimmediate adoptionof children alreadyin process of beingadopted in Port-au-Prince and otheraffected areas,and discourageimmediate adoptionsof children believedto be newly orphanedby the earthquake.

Turning leon learnedinto practical guidance

Following his experiences as 2009 Chairman of the Electoral

Complaints Commission ECC, Mr. Kippen is contributing

to a study of international standards for election complaintadjudication being conducted by the International Foundation

for Electoral Systems IFES. This project will culminate in

a guidebook for election law practitioners to use in the

field while working to establish and reform complaint

adjudication systems. Mr. Kippen and others experienced in

election disputes are drawing on their experience to describe

programmatic solutions that comply with the international

standards identified by IFES legal experts. These range from

systems for voter and election official education to alternative

dispute resolution methods, with an emphasis on building

public confidence in the process before voting begins.

The author would like to thank IFES-Lebanon Chief of PartyRichard Chambers and the staff of the F. Clifton White Applied

Research Center for Democracy and Elections for their assis-tance in writing this article.

Election conflict and violence can develop during allphases of the electoral cycle. Therefore IFES programmingapproaches are designed to respond to threats throughoutthe electoral process in order to prevent, mitigate andresolve election-related conflict. Among the first election-support providers to study the role of conflict in the electoralprocess, IFES has developed applied research and offeredprograms for addressing election-violence in over a doencountries since 2001.

One example is the IFES Election Violence Education andResolution project EVER. Through community-basedelection violence monitoring, education and advocacy,EVER provides early warning and response to electoralstakeholders. Other targeted tools, such as election violencerisk assessments and mapping, allow IFES to work withgovernment ministries, security managers and electionadministrators to manage threats of election-relatedviolence. By working with community peace committees andthrough media campaigns, IFES seeks to address electionconflict at the grassroots level as well.
