Costa RAMADHANI
Youth of United Nations Association of Tanzania (YUNA) Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI)
Tanzania
I’m a holder of a bachelor degree of laws (LLB) from University of Dar es salaam in Tanzania. I’m an active member of the youth-led organizations of YALI and YUNA. I have an ardent passion in matters pertaining to international human rights law and international laws. My passion for human rights work and research has led me to endeavor in several international moot court competitions during my undergraduate studies so as to gain more knowledge and state practice in the realm of international human rights laws. I participated in the Great Lakes Region Moot Court Competition of International Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law which was held in Kigali, Rwanda on 11th to 16th December 2017. I also participated in the Jean-Pictet Moot Court Competition of International Humanitarian Law which was held in Obernai, France from 30th March up to 6th April 2019. I also participated in the Nuremberg Moot Court Competitionof international criminal law which was held in Germany on 24th to 27th July 2019.
I have been an active participant of YALI courses online with a specific focus on climate change and I successfully participated in the Tanzania International Model United Nations last year. I joined this year's world forum of democracy because I firmly believe that democracy can play a huge part in protecting the global environment under the platform of multilateralism. Human Rights are not static as they have been evolving based on the demands of a human being and I see a correlation between human rights and climate change at the moment as the correlation will be more intensified in the foreseeable future. Environment plays a huge part in protecting a human right to life and it's very important to combat climate change under the umbrella of global diplomacy. I’m really interested in matters pertaining to human rights and climate change and how the former can be utilized effectively to combat the latter under the umbrella of democracy and diplomacy. This is the key topic I would like to focus on 29/6 event.
