Best Diplomats Conference, Dubai

The theme was; Humanitarian aid in war-torn regions, I joined a bloc formed by the Switzerland delegate calling for binding obligations on all member states under the 1949 Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols. In debate, identified the challenges facing aid workers and raised a new perspective on AI weapons advancement. Recruited sponsors from attending organizations, helping the bloc win the support of over 30 delegates and pass the resolution. Our argument was that progress on SDG 2 and SDG 3 is impossible without the rule of law of SDG 16.
