Your participation was instrumental in the success of our panel on “Global Cooperation”. The discussion was extremely well received by the audience. Your personal experience was touching and inspiring, and you eloquently articulated your personal case within the global context of hostage diplomacy. Based on the feedback we received from several individuals in the audience, your analytical, practical, and very informative views on hostage diplomacy, especially with regards to international cooperation, impunity, and accountability, were very well received and highly appreciated.

Humbled to lead the discussion with Jorge Toledo, one of the “CITGO 6” individuals, wrongfully detained abroad and jailed for almost five years. Emotional, impactful and very real conversation about the strength of a human spirit, will to survive and hope. One thing really resonated with me – importance of positive attitude.
