HH Sheikha Moza speaks on education in conflict at The Hague Institute

Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser today delivering an address as part of The Hague Institute for Global Justice’s Distinguished Seminar Series. In a major speech to political leaders, NGO chiefs and the diplomatic community, Her Highness issued a stark warning to the international community, saying that education is being used as “an instrument of war” and unless we “break the vicious cycle of violence” the 2030 sustainable development agenda will not be delivered.' Her Majesty Queen Maxima was attending in her capacity as the UN Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development. Her Highness referenced the work of Her Majesty in her address, saying: “Both education and skills-building are now known to improve post-conflict recovery and prevent societies falling back into conflict. This type of access to financial literacy is something I know Her Majesty is rightly working hard to promote, as it is so crucial to achieve the vision of the global goals.”
