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.

Meet Your Chairs
Chair: Yana Blagoeva Petrova
My name is Yana Petrova, and I am a 12th grader at ILG School. My first experience with MUN began when I joined my new school, where I started as a nervous delegate who knew almost nothing about debating or conference procedures. Over time, I became more interested in global issues, public speaking, and the unique atmosphere MUN creates.
Since then, I have participated in international conferences such as Harvard Model United Nations, where I received Best Delegate, and Yale Model United Nations, where I served as an Assistant Director. I have also had the opportunity to chair the junior division of my school’s after-school MUN club.
Outside of MUN, I enjoy traveling, watching movies, trying new things, and spending time with friends and family. My goal for this conference is to create an environment where everyone feels confident sharing their ideas and learning from one another.
Chair: 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!
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.

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 Chair
Chair: Elif Buse Güven
Hi everyone! My name is Elif Buse Güven, and I am a Grade 11 DP1 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!
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.

Meet Your Chair
Chair: 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!
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.

Chair: Diego Muttoni
My name is Diego Muttoni and I am in DP1 (11th grade) at ILG School in Prishtina, Kosovo.
I started my MUN journey 5 years ago and have participated in more than 12 conferences during that time, where I gained valuable experience, built lasting friendships, and received several awards that further strengthened my passion for MUN. Throughout my journey, I have also had the opportunity to serve as a Chair, Assistant Director, and Secretary-General, which allowed me to develop my leadership and organisational skills.
I am honoured to be one of the Chairs for the UNSC committee. I am very excited to share this experience with you and to help create a committee where everyone's opinions are heard and valued.
Hope to see you all in November!
Chair: 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
- Addressing Disputes over Territorial Sovereignty in Lebanon and the Palestinian Territories
- The Impact of Oil Crises in the Middle East on Global Economic and Political Security
