The Hili Forum in Abu Dhabi (8–9 September 2025) has quickly become one of the UAE’s flagship spaces for global dialogue — a place where leaders, experts, and thinkers from around the world debate the big issues shaping our future. Mr Vladimir Radunovic, Diplo’s Director for Cybersecurity and E-diplomacy, will join the panel “Geneva vs Algorithms: Redefining Laws of War and Peace” — a conversation on how diplomacy, law, and technology collide in today’s shifting security landscape.
Our input to the session will include how technological innovation is outpacing governance, with states rapidly embracing cyberspace and emerging tools like the AI for different forms of warfare. It will reflect on the role of international Geneva and the UN overall in shaping rules and norms that can help secure peace in the digital age, while highlighting Geneva’s unique ecosystem of institutions and stakeholders that enables dialogue, negotiation, and the implementation of agreements. Drawing on lessons from initiatives such as the Geneva Dialogue on Responsible Behaviour in Cyberspace, it will point to what works — and what still needs to be done — in bridging the gap between diplomacy and the algorithmic realities of the modern security environment.
If you’ll be at the Hili Forum, we’d love to connect! Join us at the session on 9 September or reach out to set up a meeting in Abu Dhabi. More information is available at: https://hiliforum.ae/en
