Amelie Szczecinski

Amelie is in her fourth year of a double degree in Law and Arts (International Relations). She credits her studies and experiences with shaping her passion for the intersection between global governance, international cooperation, and the legal space. Such experiences have included volunteering at the WA Justice Association where she researched and published a report on criminal law reform, interning at the Perth US Consulate, and studying European Union Law at Ghent University in Belgium. She is particularly interested in addressing online radicalisation and extremism both globally and within Australia, with a focus on how internet algorithms facilitate this through filter bubbles and echo chambers, especially as it affects marginalised individuals. She is excited to attend the UN General Assembly Legal to engage with global experts and deepen her understanding of the nuances of global issues and international law, with the aim of making a difference in this space.Amelie is attending the United Nations General Assembly’s Sixth Committee as part of the Global Voices Policy Fellowship. Her Fellowship is made possible by Global Voices’ partner, Curtin University.
