Meet Farah Diya Yasmine

Farah Diya Yasmine graduated with a bachelor’s degree in law from Universitas Trunojoyo Madura, Indonesia. In her student years, she was well-known as a constitutional law debater after winning back-to-back in two years (2018 and 2019) in the National Constitutional Debate Competition held by the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia in partnership with LeDhak, Faculty of Law, Universitas Hasanuddin. However, then she made up her mind to change her concentration study to international law and wrote a thesis on “Pemanfaatan Sumber Daya Alam di Bulan Oleh Negara-Negara,” in Bahasa, or “The Utilization of Moon Natural Resources by Countries,” in English. 

Farah is pursuing her career as a space lawyer. While waiting to be old enough to be sworn in as a lawyer, she has contributed as a legal researcher, expert, advisor, speaker, and member of several working groups, project groups, events, institutions, and organizations, including the Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC).

Recently, she established her platform, Farah Law School, and attended the World Space Forum 2023. During the event, she followed up on her ideas for her undergraduate thesis in a poster session with a larger audience.
