Message from the Secretary-General

Dear Delegates, Advisors, and Guests,

Welcome to the 4th edition of ILG MUN!

It is an honor to welcome all of you to this year’s conference and to serve as your Secretary-General. ILG MUN IV brings together students from different schools and backgrounds for a few days of debate, collaboration, and discussion on some of the most important global issues of today.

MUN is about much more than speeches and resolutions. It is about communication, cooperation, and building connections with others. Whether this is your first conference or one of many, I hope ILG MUN IV will be an experience that allows you to grow, challenge yourself, and create lasting memories.

Arisa ÇitakuSecretary-General, ILG MUN IV

Meet Your Chairs

Chair: Amaya Rukije Manalo Imeri

Amaya Rukije Manalo Imeri

Hello everyone! My name is Amaya Rukije Manalo Imeri, a Grade 8 student attending ILG in Kosovo.

My start in MUN was quite rocky, starting in Grade 5. I was so nervous about my speeches and how to be confident in front of people who were way older than me, so I understand any type of nervousness from anyone new to MUN.

Outside the debate room, you will usually see me with a paper and pen, either drawing or writing. Or you’ll see me watching shoujo anime from time to time!

My goal in MUN is to create an environment where everyone can be confident, no matter what type of confidence you have!

Co-chair: Amelia Gashi

Amelia Gashi

Hi everyone! I’m Amelia Gashi, a MYP5 student at Albanian College Tirana, and I’m really excited to be joining ILG MUN IV as a co-chair.

Outside of MUN, I love reading, painting, playing guitar, listening to music, and watching movies. I’m especially into Olivia Rodrigo, Fleetwood Mac, and Brigitte Bardot, and I’ll never say no to a good coming-of-age movie or anything that makes me cry a little.

I’ve been involved in MUN for a year now, attending three conferences as a delegate and recently getting the chance to chair ECOSOC for the first time.

This conference, I’m hoping to make committee engaging and welcoming while still keeping debate substantive and competitive. Most importantly, I want delegates to feel like they actually contributed, learned something, and maybe even had a little fun along the way.

I’m really looking forward to meeting everyone!

About UNHRC

The United Nations Human Rights Council is the main UN body dedicated to the promotion and protection of human rights around the world. In this committee, delegates examine situations where fundamental rights are threatened, discuss the responsibilities of states and international actors, and work toward practical recommendations that protect vulnerable communities.

UNHRC debates often require delegates to balance legal principles, humanitarian needs, political realities, and long-term prevention. Delegates are expected to think carefully about accountability, access to aid, protection of civilians, education, discrimination, and the role of international monitoring.

Because this is the junior committee, UNHRC is designed to help delegates build confidence with research, speeches, moderated debate, and resolution writing while still engaging with serious global issues in a structured and supportive setting.

Chair: Rea Islamaj

Rea Islamaj

My name is Rea Islamaj, and I am a Grade 10 student at ILG School.

I started doing MUN 3 and a half years ago and have participated in around 10 conferences during that time, where I have gained so much knowledge and experience and also received several awards that helped me keep going and growing. I have learned so much doing MUN, and I look forward to helping others create the same experience that I did.

I am honoured to be one of the Chairs for the ECOSOC committee. I am very happy to share this experience with you and to help you strengthen your skills even more during our conferences together. I hope this committee will be one to remember!

I look forward to meeting you all in November!

Co-chair: Vinsent Gordi

Vinsent Gordi

Hi everyone, my name is Vinsent Gordi, your ECOSOC co-chair for ILGMUNIV! I am currently in the 10th grade (MYP5) at Albanian College Tirana.

I have been attending MUN conferences for two years now, having won multiple best delegate awards throughout international and local conferences. Through MUN I have been able to strengthen my communication skills and gain valuable experience.

Outside of MUN, I like watching football, listening to music and buying nice clothes.

I hope to make an engaging committee for every delegate while maintaining structured debates. Lastly, I want to emphasize that I have also been a first time delegate and I know how stressful it is, so for this committee, I would like to make all the delegates feel engaged in the debates and have fun to create a memorable MUN experience.

That being said, I am really looking forward to being your co-chair for ILGMUNIV!

About ECOSOC

The United Nations Economic and Social Council focuses on the economic, social, humanitarian, and development work of the United Nations. It connects issues such as poverty, inequality, education, labor, health, migration, development, and international cooperation, making it one of the broadest committees in Model United Nations.

In ECOSOC, delegates are asked to look beyond immediate political conflict and consider the systems that shape people’s lives. Strong debate in this committee often includes funding mechanisms, international partnerships, sustainable development, legal cooperation, and support for communities affected by crises.

As a beginner committee, ECOSOC gives delegates a clear introduction to formal debate while still challenging them to think about realistic, cooperative solutions that different countries could support.

Meet Your Chairs

Chair: Elif Buse Güven

Elif Buse Güven

Hi everyone! My name is Elif Buse Güven, and I am a Grade 11 student at ILG School.

I started my MUN journey a little over a year ago, initially to improve my public speaking skills. Since then, I have had the opportunity to attend several conferences across Europe and Asia, which have truly deepened my passion for MUN. This conference marks my first experience as a Chair, and I could not be more excited to serve as your Chair for the UNODC committee!

Outside of MUN, I am passionate about arts, especially pottery, where I am a teacher. I am also deeply interested in psychology, jewelry designing and collecting Pokémon cards.

As your Chair, I aim to push each of you to step outside your comfort zones and refine your public speaking and debating abilities.

I can't wait to meet you all and make this an amazing experience together!

Co-chair: Klea Gashi

Klea Gashi

Hi everyone! My name is Klea Gashi, and I’m a 12th grader at Prishtina High School. I can’t wait to be one of your chairs for the UNODC committee!

I started participating in MUN in 2023, and since then, I’ve had the opportunity to attend several conferences, both locally and internationally. Through these experiences, I’ve developed an interest in diplomacy, international relations, and discussing different global issues. MUN has also allowed me to meet new people and improve my communication and leadership skills.

Outside of MUN, I enjoy playing volleyball, traveling, listening to music, and spending time with friends and family.

As a chair, I hope to contribute to a committee where everyone feels comfortable participating, sharing their opinions, and engaging in meaningful debate. I look forward to meeting you all in November!

About UNODC

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime works on issues connected to organized crime, justice, corruption, drugs, terrorism, cybercrime, and the rule of law. In Model United Nations, UNODC debates often focus on problems that cross borders and cannot be solved by one country alone.

Delegates in UNODC must think about prevention, law enforcement cooperation, technology, education, legal reform, human rights, and international accountability. The committee rewards solutions that are specific and realistic, especially when they explain how states can share information, build capacity, and protect affected populations.

As an intermediate committee, UNODC expects delegates to connect security questions with legal and social consequences, making it a strong space for delegates who want a deeper and more technical debate.

Chair: Jon Limani

Jon Limani

Hello everybody! My name is Jon Limani. I am a Grade 9 student at ILG.

MUN has been an integral part of my life for several years, and I have gained invaluable experience through local and international conferences. I have attended 14 conferences and won nine awards. I have met amazing people who are still my friends today, as I hope you will too. Throughout my MUN tenure, I have taken part in committees such as UNSC, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), ICC, NATO, Crisis Cabinet, and many more. Every conference has given me new perspectives and continued to deepen my interest in diplomacy, international affairs, and law.

This ILG MUN, I am extremely honoured to be chairing the DISEC committee. My goal is to create a supportive, engaging, and challenging environment in which you can all thrive and delegates can challenge one another. Hopefully, like me, all of you will leave this conference with something new.

I am excited to see what each of you can bring to the table. See you in November!

Co-chair: Eraldo Mataj

Eraldo Mataj

Hello Delegates! I am Eraldo Mataj, a Grade 11 student at Albanian College Tirana.

I have been a member of my school’s MUN club for over 4 years, and have participated in over 9 conferences as a delegate across Europe. This conference will mark my third chairing experience, and another occasion where I will witness the personal development and improvement journey of all delegates. I look forward to fostering an environment where delegates can refine their public speaking, critical thinking, and lobbying skills. Regardless of your background or future aspirations, MUN is universally beneficial and can be an incredible opportunity to become a competent and well-rounded person.

Looking forward to seeing you all at the conference!

About DISEC

The Disarmament and International Security Committee is the First Committee of the United Nations General Assembly. It addresses global challenges involving disarmament, arms control, emerging military technologies, and threats to international peace and security.

Delegates in DISEC examine how countries can reduce security risks while respecting national sovereignty and legitimate defence concerns. Strong debate combines diplomacy, international law, practical verification measures, and cooperation between states.

As an intermediate committee, DISEC gives delegates the opportunity to explore complex security issues while developing their research, negotiation, public speaking, and resolution-writing skills.

Erika Duraku

Hi everyone! My name is Erika Duraku, and I am an 11th grader at ILG School. I am so excited to be one of your chairs for the UNSC Committee.

My MUN experience started in 2023, and since then, I have had the chance to participate in several conferences and experience MUN from different roles, including as a delegate, chair, assistant director, and now as Deputy Secretary-General for this conference. Each experience has helped me become more confident, open-minded, and aware of how important collaboration and respectful debate are.

Outside of MUN, I enjoy watching sci-fi films and reading classics, as well as other fiction books. As your chair, I hope to help create a committee where everyone feels prepared, respected, and encouraged to participate. I will work hard to make this an engaging and unforgettable experience for all of you.

I can’t wait to meet you all in November!

About UNSC

The United Nations Security Council is responsible for maintaining international peace and security. It is one of the most powerful UN bodies, dealing with armed conflict, threats to sovereignty, peacekeeping, sanctions, ceasefires, and urgent crises that may affect regional or global stability.

In UNSC, delegates must respond to complex security problems under pressure. Debate requires strong knowledge of international relations, alliances, state interests, military and economic consequences, and the limits of diplomacy. Unlike many other committees, UNSC resolutions often focus on immediate action and crisis management.

As the advanced committee, UNSC is designed for delegates who are ready for fast-paced debate, detailed policy arguments, and high-level negotiation. Delegates should be prepared to defend national interests while still working toward solutions that can realistically protect peace and security.

Topics

  1. Addressing Disputes over Territorial Sovereignty in Lebanon and the Palestinian Territories
  2. The Impact of Oil Crises in the Middle East on Global Economic and Political Security
