I got to know about this organization at the Human rights conference at the European Youth council since the Hungarian activist group was holding speeches and presentations at the event. When I first heard about the topic introduced, I started to question how this regards human rights since it was about a new technology with artificial intelligence. I got interested and decided to listen to the presentation by the group. About 35 minutes later, when they finished their speech, I was shocked about what I had heard.<br>Since automation and technological sciences do not necessarily belong to my fields of interest, I would not have thought about what threats they could pose to society. The replacement of human presence with robots in wars is atrocious since humans have emotions, sentient skills, and, most importantly, dignity, which they use when determining whether one will take a human life. Robots do not have these characteristics programmed into them, meaning they can slaughter in wars or anywhere without feeling a bit of regret, moral responsibilities, or guilt. Would one trust a robot with their life? The answer is probably no, for the reasons mentioned above. Another legal question in this scenario is who is to be prosecuted for murder if there is no sign of human misconduct or the perpetrator can not be identified. These are only a few of automatization&apos;s severe societal and humanity-destructing effects. After the impressive presentation, I talked to the activist group and successfully became an activist myself. Stopping dehumanization is a goal worth fighting for, and together with the Hungarian group, I will try my best to achieve it.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Climate change and Human Rights conference attendances]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>I have consciously sought opportunities to deepen my knowledge of the different aspects of human rights.

By attending the UNICEF Hungary Climate Conference in November and Conference on Human Rights in December at the European Youth Council, I feel I have succeeded:</p><p>At UNICEF, I have been a so-called &apos;climate hero&apos; for a long time now, which includes numerous people in the youth society being involved, that are concerned for the future of our Earth, the rights which will remain for the future generation, or straightforwardly question how their existence will look like in the soon times to come. When joining the project, UNICEF provided everyone with educational materials about climate change and human rights. After studying these readings and publications, we had to take a quiz to prove our knowledge is accurate about the topics. After that was ensured, we, climate heroes, started to spread awareness on social media websites, such as Instagram, TikTok, etcetera. Our goal is to reach as many people about this immense Human rights crisis as possible for society to recognize that this issue is no longer a situation that &apos;we can deal with later.&apos; Action needs to be taken immediately to reverse the escalation of the process of destroying our planet. Our worry is quite understandable and is the most authentic since it threatens our future the most effectively. Since the subject regards us most, UNICEF believes that we are the ones that can achieve any favorable and numerical results, and we should be involved, be asked about our opinions, and make our voices heard. I can testify that we made sure of that, especially when the date of the Climate Conference, the international day of children&apos;s rights, started approaching. The experts&apos; topics and presentations tackled merely intriguing matters, such as &apos;What is the future? The dilemmas of having children.&apos; This proposal&apos;s topic is the most relevant to my pursuit in trying to answer the philosophical and moral question of whether it is ethical to have children in today&apos;s, but especially in, future society. At the presentation, I could listen to a moderated discussion of expert and non-expert adult viewpoints, who intentionally would like to remain childless for the sake of the environment sacrificing their perpetuation, or parents of multiple children.</p><p>We could participate in the conversation, share our thoughts, and were generally involved in the debates. I enjoyed this event; I look forward to attending the next ones organized by UNICEF.</p><p>The Human rights conference took place in the European Youth council on international human rights day, December 10th. Here the main focus was on education. I could listen to thought-provoking discussions and speeches about the education of young children (around 7-14) about what human rights are. To achieve that, they can seek help for a proper justification if they experience any infringement on their rights. Another vital aspect talked about in the conference was &apos;Social justice through the lens of freedom.&apos; This event contributed a lot to expanding my viewpoints and forming a well-informed opinion about how important proper education and spreading of awareness is in the sphere of Human Rights. I hope to be invited to events handling essential aspects of a well-functioning, justice-served society.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Model United Nations activity]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Model United Nations is a simulation of the work of the UN by students.

It is practiced by many who wish to deepen their public speaking skills, improve their reaction time, and the formal ways of rebutting on a particular issue at a given moment. It is also frequently suitable for ones wishing to occupy themselves in the fields of either diplomacy, politics, or just simply for the students that are worried about crises of our world and feel what the stakes are of these future threatening events not being solved imminently.</p><p>I belong to the last group since my main reason for starting my journey in MUN the previous summer was that I began to realize my escalating enthusiasm for the safeguarding of human rights. When I discovered that in MUN, I could stand up for what I believe in and what I would like to pursue fighting for in my future as a lawyer, I knew that MUN offered me a great opportunity that I needed to take. The journey that took me to where I am today, attending MUN conferences, and being able to confidently represent any country and win awards, was not easy and did not happen in just a few weeks. I had to get to know and familiarize myself with the atmosphere of diplomacy and learn all the procedural rules, like motions, points, and the specific diplomatic dialect used during the committee sessions.</p><p>My first conference experience was MIMUN, which took place in the Autumn at Milestone Institute, Budapest. I represented Turkey at the Human Rights Council with the topic &apos;Human Rights Crisis in Turkey.&apos; As it was my first MUN, I was a bit timid, but this is an occurrence that happens to newbies quite often; the experienced and skillful delegates can be intimidating at first sight. Despite this, I have tried my best to be active, which was necessary in this case since the topic debated was regarding and involving my country vigorously. At this competition, I still needed to excel more in the committee sessions to win any awards; however, this was not my goal to accomplish. I participated to accommodate myself in the competitive ambiance of MUN, in which I have succeeded.</p><p>The next contest I partook in was AproMUN 2022 in Bratislava, where I fighted for Afghan women&apos;s rights as the delegate of Canada in the Commission on the Status of Women committee. I prepared a detailed research 1.5 months in advance so that I knew every background and essential information about the topic, my represented country, and the council itself. At the conference, I was one of the most active delegates and the co-submitter of the final resolution, which the General Assembly voted in favor of at the end of the conference. My hard work in the committee sessions, as well as my detailed research, has paid off, and I have been honored with winning the &apos;Outstanding Delegate&apos; award.</p><p>My latest conference was ENMUN2022 in December, where I first managed to be the Main Submitter of my committee&apos;s resolution, Human Rights Council. I represented the USA revolving around Iranian citizens&apos; human, women&apos;s, and children&apos;s rights. ENMUN was the conference where I got to the point that I didn&apos;t feel anxious before the first day at all; I knew I had an elaborated research prepared, being fully aware of my country&apos;s policy, foreign relations, and possible solutions for the disputes and issues at hand; so basically everything I needed to be a successful delegate. At the closing ceremony, where the awards were presented, when I heard my name being said together with &apos;Best Delegate,&apos; I felt indescribable happiness and complacency. I knew what I had been doing was relevant and beneficial for my future, and I hope that one day my hard work will help other people, my future clients. I will be pursuing MUN for a long time and will do my utmost to further develop in this sphere.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coming soon]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>This is Hanna&apos;s blog, a brand new site by Hanna Polecsak that&apos;s just getting started.
