In a two-day conference on December 3–4, 2014, a
new Reflection Group on the »Monopoly on the Use
of Force 2.0?« was initiated. The Kick-Off Conference
officially established the Global Reflection Group, and
served four major purposes in particular:

1. To set the overarching conceptual stage for the
subsequent thematic reflection group meetings.

2. To  provide  an  opportunity  to  jointly  define
priorities, topics, and outputs for the reflection
group.

3. To  provide  reflection  group  members  with
the  opportunity  to  get  to  know  each  other
and  understand  each  other’s  context-specific
»starting  points«  (specific  frameworks/working
environments).

4. To define the roadmap for the Reflection Group’s
next two years of work.
