NIMD is zeer verheugd Ed Kronenburg (foto boven, links) te verwelkomen als de nieuwe voorzitter van onze Raad van Toezicht.<\/p>\n

Ed, die sinds maart 2020 lid is van de Raad, neemt het stokje over van Eimert van Middelkoop (foto rechtsboven), die deze maand is afgetreden.<\/p>\n

De\u00a0Raad van Toezicht<\/a>\u00a0bestaat uit onafhankelijke professionals, van wie velen afkomstig zijn uit de politieke of academische sector. Zij houden toezicht op de activiteiten van NIMD en verrijken ons werk met hun gevarieerde expertise en ervaring.<\/p>\n

Ed Kronenburg<\/h3>\n

Ed is een recent gepensioneerde senior diplomaat met een carri\u00e8re van bijna 45 jaar. Hij was ambassadeur van Nederland in Frankrijk (2012-17) en recentelijk in China (2017-19).<\/p>\n

Voorafgaand aan zijn ambassadeursfuncties was hij secretaris-generaal van het Nederlandse ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken en grootmeester van het Koninklijk Huis van Hare Majesteit Koningin Beatrix.<\/p>\n

Zijn carri\u00e8re omvatte ook een aantal detacheringen. Ed was kabinetschef van de secretaris-generaal van de NAVO. Hij werkte ook bij de OESO in Parijs en was adjunct-kabinetschef bij de Europese Commissie voor commissaris Hans van den Broek.<\/p>\n

Bij NIMD zijn we erg blij Ed te verwelkomen als nieuwe voorzitter van de Raad van Toezicht. Zijn diepgaande diplomatieke kennis en schat aan ervaring zullen een echte aanwinst zijn voor onze organisatie. We zijn verheugd om een vruchtbare samenwerking aan te gaan.<\/p>\n

\"Het bevorderen van internationale vrede, gerechtigheid en de rechtsstaat kan alleen vruchten afwerpen als de democratie de rechten van alle individuen waarborgt. Gelijkheid, fundamentele vrijheden en verantwoordingsplicht moeten altijd worden gerespecteerd. Zoals Amanda Gorman op 20 januari zo ontroerend zei: \"Democratie kan af en toe worden vertraagd, maar kan nooit definitief worden verslagen. Democratie kan nooit als vanzelfsprekend worden beschouwd en moet altijd met hand en tand worden beschermd. NIMD loopt voorop in deze inspanning.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In zijn nieuwe rol als voorzitter van de Raad van Toezicht kijkt Ed ernaar uit om zijn specifieke achtergrond te gebruiken om NIMD te adviseren over hoe te blijven werken in complexe politieke omgevingen, in de richting van inclusieve democratie\u00ebn die iedereen gelijke kansen bieden om gehoord te worden, te participeren en verantwoordelijkheid te nemen in de politiek op alle niveaus.<\/p>\n

Eimert van Middelkoop<\/h3>\n

Naast het vooruitkijken naar onze voortdurende prioriteiten, is dit ook een moment om afscheid te nemen van de voormalige voorzitter van de Raad van Toezicht, Eimert van Middelkoop, die vele jaren betrokken is geweest bij het werk van NIMD.<\/p>\n

Eimert van Middelkoop is een Nederlands politicus; hij heeft veel ervaring als Kamerlid, nadat hij voor het eerst zitting nam in 1989. Eimert was minister van Defensie tussen 2007 en 2010.<\/p>\n

Eimert was een toegewijde voorzitter en de NIMD heeft veel profijt gehad van zijn grote deskundigheid op het gebied van buitenlandse zaken. Eimerts bijdrage aan NIMD omvatte vele missies tijdens zijn jaren in de Raad van Toezicht.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Als voorzitter reisde Eimert bijvoorbeeld in december 2018 naar Oeganda om te spreken op de allereerste Top op hoog niveau van leiders van politieke partijen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Uiteindelijk zal NIMD Eimert missen om zijn ervaring en toewijding en de trots die hij altijd op zijn werk heeft gehad.<\/p>\n

\"Ik heb ooit gezegd dat het NIMD de parel in de kroon is van de idealistische traditie in de Nederlandse internationale politiek. Dat herhaal ik nu. Ik heb veel bewondering voor de toewijding en professionaliteit van onze medewerkers. De strijd voor democratie en rechtsstaat is een lange weg, maar geeft hoop aan zoveel mensen in zoveel landen. Voor mij, als voormalig politicus, was het een voorrecht om zoveel jaren voor NIMD te mogen werken.\" Eimert van Middelkoop<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bij zijn vertrek uit de Raad van Toezicht gaf Eimert een afscheidsspeech voor het hele NIMD-netwerk<\/a>waarin hij de wisselwerking tussen geloof en democratie onderzocht, een onderwerp dat hem als lid van de ChristenUnie na aan het hart ligt.<\/p>\n

De medewerkers en de Raad van Toezicht van NIMD willen Eimert hartelijk danken en wensen hem het allerbeste voor de toekomst.<\/p>\n
