Chiradhorn Siripannapirat, a Thai legal professional, has been selected to participate in the Global Peace Summit Paris 2026 by Global Peace Chain, an international forum that brings together emerging leaders from around the world to discuss peace-building, international cooperation, and responses to global challenges. She has also been awarded a full scholarship to attend the programme.
The summit took place in Paris, France, with key activities held at the headquarters of UNESCO and the French Senate. The programme brought together participants from different countries and professional backgrounds to exchange perspectives on peace, international cooperation, and the role of younger generations in addressing global issues.
On this occasion, GlobalBizNEWS spoke with Chiradhorn about her academic journey, her motivation for applying to the summit, and her views on the role of law in the international context.
Could you briefly introduce your academic background and professional interests?
Reflecting on her academic journey, Chiradhorn noted that her postgraduate studies in law in the United Kingdom at Queen Mary University of London and Durham University prompted her to think more deeply about the broader role of legal systems.
Through her studies, she came to view law not merely as a technical instrument for interpreting legal rules, but as a framework that can help support stability, cooperation, and institutional trust at the international level.
What motivated you to apply for the Global Peace Summit Paris 2026 by Global Peace Chain?
According to Chiradhorn, the summit presents an opportunity for emerging leaders from different countries to engage in dialogue on global challenges. She expressed interest in participating in a platform where individuals from diverse academic and professional backgrounds can exchange ideas on peace, cooperation, and leadership.
She also highlighted that the programme brings together distinguished guest speakers from various professional fields, allowing participants to learn from a wide range of experiences and perspectives.
What do you hope to gain from participating in this programme?
For Chiradhorn, the programme represents a valuable opportunity to gain new perspectives on international cooperation and peace initiatives. Engaging with participants from different countries, she explained, can foster meaningful discussions on global issues and help explore the potential role of law in supporting collaborative solutions.
In your view, how can law contribute to international peace and cooperation?
Chiradhorn emphasised that law plays an important role in providing frameworks that enable dialogue, accountability, and cooperation between states, institutions, and communities. Strong legal institutions, she noted, contribute to stability and predictability in international relations conditions that are essential for achieving sustainable peace.
How do you plan to apply the knowledge and experiences gained from the summit?
Looking ahead, Chiradhorn said that participation in the summit will allow her to learn from diplomats, policy specialists, and researchers from different countries, including experts working with international institutions such as the International Court of Justice and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
With several sessions expected to take place at the headquarters of UNESCO, she added, the programme will provide a valuable environment for dialogue on international cooperation, governance, and peaceful approaches to resolving global disputes.
The insights gained from these exchanges, she concluded, will contribute to her academic research and future professional work, particularly in areas related to international law and global governance.
The Global Peace Summit Paris 2026 by Global Peace Chain will bring together participants from a wide range of countries and professional backgrounds, creating a platform for dialogue on peace, cooperation, and global governance.
Through discussions, workshops, and policy exchanges, the summit seeks to encourage new perspectives on international collaboration and the role of emerging leaders in addressing complex global challenges.
For Chiradhorn, the experience represents an opportunity to engage with global discussions and contribute to conversations on law, cooperation, and the future of international dialogue.
