World Solve

Future progress on human development and planetary health depends on solving denial of past crimes continuing. Conventional approaches have proven insufficient. The required intervention must integrate community knowledge, data and appropriate technology while remaining affordable, privacy-preserving and operable with minimal external support. Strong solutions will articulate measurable impact metrics, risk mitigation strategies, and a plan for sustained operation by local actors after the pilot phase.

Addressing war crimes going unpunished is critical for achieving the 2030 Agenda. Current efforts fall short in scale, speed and equity, leaving the most vulnerable behind. Any viable solution must function in low-resource settings with limited specialists, transport, laboratory capacity and broadband. Proposals should specify quantifiable biological, social or environmental outcomes, openly discuss potential risks, and present a realistic pathway for long-term maintenance and local ownership beyond short research pilots.

young people jailed for minor crimes remains one of the most urgent challenges of our time. Systems currently in place are inadequate for the scale and complexity of the problem. A successful approach must work where resources are scarcest and demonstrate clear, measurable results. It should identify possible harms, respect local agency, and show how the solution can be maintained and expanded by the communities it is meant to serve.

Legal disagreements over evidence standards, human rights protections, or political considerations often delay extradition requests for years, sometimes indefinitely. This lets serious crimes go unpunished simply due to geography.

Predictive tools can estimate future risk with some accuracy, but punishing based on probability rather than actual action raises deep unresolved ethical concerns. This tension is becoming more pressing as predictive technology improves.

Justice systems around the world vary wildly in how harshly they punish the same crimes, reflecting different beliefs about what punishment is actually for. Whether punishment should aim to rehabilitate, deter, or simply punish remains unresolved.

Create secure, ethical systems for collecting, authenticating, storing, and making digital evidence usable by investigators without exposing victims.
