The Core Principle of Humanity

The purpose of this group is to investigate how and why beliefs influence different political ideals despite humanity being at the centre of our collective efforts. 

Diverse and Collaborative

This is the only ISYPO group that requires a minimum number of members from different countries/continents. With this quota, we are able to keep the discussions heated, diverse, and didactic.

Ethics of Posthumanism & The Moral Status of AI

This section examines the ethical and legal dilemmas surrounding posthumanism and AI personhood, questioning whether non-human entities should be granted rights and moral consideration. It explores the transition from transhumanism to posthumanism, debates on AI sentience and moral responsibility, and religious perspectives on artificial agency. Legal and political implications, such as AI citizenship and accountability, are analyzed through real-world cases like the EU AI Act and Google's LaMDA controversy. The discussion is framed by Posthumanist Ethics, Utilitarianism vs. Deontological Ethics, and Legal Personhood Theory, emphasizing how these questions will shape future governance structures.

Sovereignty, Religious Doctrine, and Secularism in Global Governance

This topic investigates the intersection of religious sovereignty, secular governance, and international law, addressing how global institutions navigate conflicts between religious doctrines and human rights frameworks. Case studies include theocratic vs. secular governance in Iran, Saudi Arabia, India, and France, as well as religious influence in international law through the Vatican and Sharia courts. It further explores state control over religious expression, tensions in national identity, and contemporary conflicts like the Israel-Palestine dispute and China's restrictions on Uyghur Muslims. Grounded in Political Theology, Legal Pluralism, and Human Rights Theory, this discussion highlights the critical role of religion in global diplomacy and governance.
