Dear Delegates, 

It is my greatest honor to serve as your president this year. I’m a junior at the American School of Warsaw, and have been doing MUN for around 4 years. Ever since middle school, I have attended various conferences, including PACMUN, CEESA, ZYGMUN, and most recently also BERMUN. Additionally, I had the pleasure of serving as chair of the MUN club at one of my previous schools. MUN is a great tool that encourages public speaking and cooperation, but also puts the delegates’ creativity to the test. I deeply value the HRC because of the special emphasis that this committee puts on working together in order to solve a common issue.

At this year’s conference we are addressing the Sustainable Development Goal 3: good health and well-being. During our time together, we will tackle the cases of ensuring female reproductive and maternal health, as well as providing medical care for people that come from or travel to areas of conflict. The first topic is extremely relevant in our times, as evidenced by the statistic that 1 in 3 women have experienced physical or sexual violence at least once in their life, resulting in both long- and short-term consequences, whether they be physical, sexual, mental or reproductive. Furthermore, the second case that we have been assigned to stresses the severity of the fragile situations that many nations face, as 1.6 billion people inhabit areas affected by various kinds of conflict, which poses a great challenge to global health care as a whole. I’m looking forward to seeing you all at the conference.


Darlenne Kogut, President of the Human Rights Council

Dear Delegates,

Welcome to ZYGMUN III and the Human Rights Council.  I am very excited to be co-chairing the Human Rights Council since it was my first committee when I started MUN in 2017.  I started attending MUN conferences when I lived in Qatar when I was 11 years old.  Since then I have attended the ACMUN conference in Greece three times, serving on the Human Rights Council, Security Council and the Historical Committee.  I recently 
attended the BERMUN conference in Berlin, serving as an ambassador and delegate of the Legal Committee.  Twice I have participated as a delegate on the Human Rights Council because I think human rights issues are at the center of most global problems.  The more I have learned about human rights the more I have come to understand that addressing these issues are vital.  


MUN gives us an opportunity to collaborate, debate and compromise with students from all over the world that have different views from our own and would otherwise be strangers. Through the topics selected in each committee we are able to further our understanding on complicated issues in order to solve global problems.

At the heart of many human rights issues is the conference theme of health and well being.  Health is linked to economic development and political stability in many complex ways.  One of the proposed topics for the human rights council is “ensuring female reproductive and maternal health”.  This issue is a health and well being issue and a complex issue surrounded by a lot debatable and controversy.  It is also an issue that I am personally very excited about because although I don’t have any experience with the issue, I have come to understand that it is an issue linked to female empowerment, ending poverty, reducing conflict, illegal migration and resource depletion to name some.  

I am a Greek Cypriot-American living in Cyprus, an EU country in the Eastern Mediterranean.  I attend a British International School in Cyprus in grade 10. Outside of school I enjoy horse jumping and caring for my horse, karate, singing and art, not to mention MUN of course.

Zoe Stylianides, President of the Human Rights Council
