The issue of non-compliance with international law and conventions, particularly regarding the right of self-determination in conflict zones, is a critical challenge for global peace and stability. This is especially relevant in the ongoing dispute between Kosovo and Serbia, a conflict rooted in ethnic tensions, historical grievances, and differing views on Kosovo’s independence. Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008, but Serbia, backed by several countries, including major international actors, has refused to recognize its sovereignty. The situation raises fundamental questions about the right of self-determination, state sovereignty, and adherence to international law, as both sides accuse each other of violations. 

 

Delegates will tackle the complex legal, political, and humanitarian dimensions of non-compliance with international law in the context of Kosovo and Serbia. Discussions will focus on how to uphold the right to self-determination in conflict zones, while ensuring respect for territorial integrity and international norms. Delegates will also explore the role of international bodies, such as the UN and the International Court of Justice, in mediating these disputes and enforcing compliance with international conventions. Additionally, the debate will consider broader implications for other conflict zones around the world, where similar issues of non-compliance and self-determination persist. The goal is to develop solutions that promote dialogue, peace, and legal accountability while navigating the sensitive political realities of the Kosovo-Serbia conflict and its impact on regional and international stability.
