Debating Security Plus in Buenos Aires: countering fake news

Friends of Europe is delighted to be partnering with the Argentine Council for International Relations for the local launch of the 2018 Debating Security Plus (DS+) report in Buenos Aires, Argentina, during the event ‘Debating Security Plus Conference on Confidence Building Measures as Part of a Strategy to Counter Fake News’.

DS+ is a unique global online brainstorm which gathers a community of experts from the world of peace, security and defence to develop sustainable solutions to some of the biggest security problems facing the world today. Its 2018 report sets out 10 top recommendations addressing practical policy goals and shifts in security thinking, underpinned by a realistic roadmap for implementation.

This event is a part of a global debate on disinformation initiated by Friends of Europe ahead of the European elections. During the coming month, disinformation and its implications for democracy are being discussed at events held in Brussels and Buenos Aires, online with our prominent community of security experts on Debating Security Plus and with the 4.9 million citizens engaging on Debating Europe.
