Dealing with the Syrian crisis

The Human Rights Council has opened debate this morning by discussing the difficult issue of human rights violations in Syria. Edwina Hobson and Despina Bouletos, representing Switzerland, were part of the preparation of this resolution. Edwina was nominated as co-submitter and delivered an excellent speech. She then took five questions from the floor, silencing all her doubters with detailed and convincing answers!

The sign of a good resolution is one that sparks high quality debate. This resolution was debated for well over an hour.

    Lovely job, Edwina and Despina! Lookalike Delegates indeed. :)

    I don't suppose you would know how to contact the chair at HRC, Joanna?

      Hi, I can look up what school they were from. This question was posted as anonymous. Can you provide an email so that I can contact you?
