“A more just world: The role of Peremptory Norms in International Law”
Join DSTMUN, where global diplomacy comes to life in the heart of Thessaloniki, a city brimming with culture and history, offering a unique opportunity to engage in international discussions and decision-making.
This distinguished conference welcomes junior high and high school students from across the globe to explore real-world challenges, negotiate complex issues, and build essential skills in diplomacy, critical analysis, and persuasive communication.
We eagerly await engaging discussions aimed at addressing the urgent challenges posed by our conference’s topic: “A more just world: The role of Peremptory Norms in International Law”. Our aim is to explore the fundamental principles that stand above all others - from the prohibition of genocide and slavery to the absolute ban on torture - shaping a global order where justice is not negotiable, but absolute. Join us as we embark on a journey of diplomacy, dialogue and decisive action, shaping a world where peace and cooperation thrive.
