Hon'ble Member of Parliament Bansuri Swaraj Releases
'Ethical Diplomacy and Foreign Policy in a Fragmented World',
Dedicated to the Legacy of Smt. Sushma Swaraj
A memorable milestone in my journey as an author.
I had the honour of dedicating my book, Ethical Diplomacy and Foreign Policy in a Fragmented World, to the cherished memory of Her Excellency Smt. Sushma Swaraj Ji, one of India's most admired Ministers of External Affairs, whose compassion, statesmanship, and commitment to public service continue to inspire people across the world.
It was a privilege to have the book officially released by Hon'ble Member of Parliament, Smt. Bansuri Swaraj, daughter of the late Smt. Sushma Swaraj.
I was also delighted to discover that Smt. Bansuri Swaraj and I share a common academic bond as alumni of the University of Oxford, making this occasion even more special.
This dedication is a tribute to a leader whose life demonstrated that diplomacy is not merely about advancing national interests, but about serving humanity with wisdom, dignity, compassion, and moral courage. Sushma Ji showed India and the world that the true purpose of public office is service, not dominance; compassion, not power; and humility, not prestige. Her life reminded us that the highest calling of leadership is to serve people with integrity, humanity, and selflessness.
I extend my sincere gratitude to Hon'ble MP Smt. Bansuri Swaraj for graciously releasing the book and for honouring her mother's enduring legacy through this meaningful occasion.
It is my hope that Ethical Diplomacy and Foreign Policy in a Fragmented World will encourage policymakers, diplomats, public servants, scholars, and future leaders to embrace ethical governance, principled diplomacy, and leadership rooted in justice, integrity, and peace.

ENDORSEMENTS
I condemn military escalation in the Middle East. The use of force by the United States and Israel against Iran, and the subsequent retaliation by Iran across the region, undermine international peace and security. All Member States must respect their obligations under international law, including the Charter of the United Nations. The Charter clearly prohibits “the threat of the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.”

Ethical Diplomacy and Foreign Policy in a Fragmented World resonates strongly with my experience as a Swiss diplomat and multilateral practitioner. Throughout my tenure at the OSCE and now at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy, I have seen how fragile peace becomes when ethics, dialogue, and institutional trust are eroded. Dr Dominic F. Dixon offers a timely and thoughtful reflection on why diplomacy grounded in restraint, law, and multilateral cooperation remains indispensable. This book is a valuable contribution to the ongoing effort to renew principled statecraft in an increasingly polarized world.

Global politics today is marked by uncertainty, competing nationalisms, and the weakening of multilateral institutions. In this context, Dr. Dominic F. Dixon’s Ethical Diplomacy and Foreign Policy in a Fragmented World asks a crucial question: can diplomacy remain ethical in a world dominated by power politics? Drawing from international law, contemporary events, and moral philosophy, this book provides a valuable framework for understanding the challenges facing modern diplomacy.

My work across international organizations; including the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the OECD, the OSCE, OAS, ASEAN, and First Dean (em.) at IACA (International Anti-Corruption Academy), has consistently demonstrated that the rule of law and ethical conduct are indispensable foundations of effective global cooperation and – even more importantly – of human, social, political, and economic prosperity in all dimensions. In Ethical Diplomacy and Foreign Policy in a Fragmented World, Dr. Dominic F. Dixon explores how ethical reasoning can and should guide international diplomacy. The book is a thoughtful contribution to the global conversation on how states can navigate complex geopolitical realities without losing sight of fundamental principles of justice and responsibility.
