• The question of Yemen.

• The question of Ethiopia.

• The question of Libya.

Mr. Tanay Naik, grew up in South East Asia and has attended multiple international schools, including UNIS Hanoi. During his high school years he participated in AISAS MUN as committee chair and later became parliamentary secretary. He went to university in Canada where he switched over to debate. In the past 11 years he has fulfilled numerous teaching roles in IB schools, from head of TOK to being the vice-principal. Arriving at UNIS Hanoi, Mr. Naik is impressed by the level of sophistication he sees in UNISMUN, he praises the student commitment and teacher engagement. 

In a hyperpolarized global environment, there is a presumption where anyone who shares their personal viewpoint is wrong. There is an unhealthy culture of diminishing people’s intelligence just because their opinion is not the same as your own. Mr. Naik values the opportunity MUN gives us to deliberate and debate helpfully and to gain more conviction in what we believe in. He views education as political and that MUN is a great platform to identify what's right and wrong in the world and discuss it in a respectful, responsible, and ethical manner. He believes that MUN is the perfect embodiment of all things we emphasize as a school, collaboration, the ability to agree and disagree with each other in a factually informed way, and the capacity of exploring topics through multiple perspectives. 

Hi friends, my name is Kitty Tran, I’m currently an 11th grader at UNIS Hanoi. This would be my third year in MUN and my second conference chairing. I’m very excited to welcome you all to the Responsibility To Protect Council. As your head chair, I look forward to meeting you and hearing your thoughts and ideas. Please always feel free to ask for help or just inquiries. I understand that MUN can be intimidating but I assure you that once you get to discuss with fellow delegates and chairs it will become a smooth and memorable experience. 

This upcoming conference we will be exploring the conflicts in Yemen, Libya, and Ethiopia. All three of these countries have very important problems that need to be addressed. I’m eager to see all of your creative resolutions and have a fun debate.

Greetings esteemed directors, student officers, delegates, admin staff and guests. My name is Hien, and I am a sophomore at SIS. I am honoured to be chairing in the Responsibility to Protect Council at the UNIS MUN XII conference and will be looking forward to meeting you all then. This is my second year in MUN, and though I have been to other conferences as a delegate, this will be my first time formally chairing. MUN in itself is a learning experience and a chance to not only develop your diplomacy skills but also knowledge on global issues, so I’m excited to help but also learn from everyone. 

In this conference, we will be discussing the conflicts in Yemen, Libya and Ethiopia which are all urgent topics that need to be addressed. With that said, I’m excited to see everyone in March and have a fruitful conference. Best of luck in your preparations and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any concerns or inquiries.
