Message from UNYSAB President
After the grand success of 1st Chittagong University Model United Nations 2015 ( CUMUN15 ), this year they are going to organize a more anticipated conference – CUMUN16 . I would like to congratulate Chittagong University Model United Nations Association ( CUMUNA ) for arranging their 2nd session of Model UN conference . It will be held in February 10-13 .
Today we are standing head to head with the greatest refugee challenge since the World War II and , the notion of fear and insecurity towards these homeless , dreamless individuals are what needs to be changed if not for the sake of humanity but for preserving the future of a race . Confrontation between the sense of morality and national interest should end through a solution of mutual understanding and empathy . Amicability and kindness can be the only formidable weapon to prevent extremism and violence that causes the refugee flows . United Nations is the sheer reflection of the world ’ s willingness to resolve the concern of securing the hopes and lives of refugees .
I strongly believe that CUMUN will serve as platform where young people , propulsors of energy , ingenuity and imagination , from home and abroad will come out with efficient resolutions to save rights of the ignored , the despised generation of people who without our help will perish into misery .
Taking part in a Model UN program provides students with an enriching experience on many levels . Participants in Model U . N . programs learn how the United Nations works through an advanced form of role playing . This is an opportunity to understand practices of multilateral diplomacy , to conduct efficient research and find out the solutions which will enrich their mind on the local and international issues .
“ Uphold humanity : Save Refugees ” is the theme of the conference which is the most concerning issue on earth now . And it is my strong believe that tyoung minds enforce their creativity through diplomacy . I also believe that CUMUN16 will be a benchmark for upholding the humanity and saving the refugees .
I hope this conference will be successful to promote the notion of empathy towards refugees . I would like to take pleasure in expressing my heartiest welcome to the delegates for their participation and appreciation to the organizers . I wish CUMUN16 a great success .
