Meet the presidency:
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.

Dear Delegates,
It is with utmost pleasure that I welcome you to this year’s conference. I’m currently a sophomore at the American School of Warsaw. I am from India and have taken part in four MUN conferences before this. This is my first time as a chair and I am very excited. I really enjoy participating in MUN’s because through them I feel as if I can affect, even to a small extent, the world in which we live and relate to the different problems of society. At the same time, I get the chance to meet a lot of amazing people from all over the world and debate with them, thus getting acquainted with different fascinating cultures and enthralling ways of thinking.
The theme of our conference is focused on good health and well being. It is indisputable that a lot of attention should be paid to the improvement of all aspects of contemporary life, to ensure that future generations will have a better world to live in with access to basic medical amenities. Both topics of the UNHRC are directly connected to this theme. Coming up with effective solutions to these issues would definitely improve the circumstances in which many people live. I believe that as a generation of young adults that are paving the path for their futures, we will have a very unique take on the issue.
I hope that when you come here in April, you will make unforgettable memories and learn something new. I look forward to meeting you all in person and seeing how you will tackle the issues we have chosen for you.
Sincerely,
Pranit Dua, Vice-President of the Human Rights Council.
