Dear Delegates,
I am excited to welcome you to the ECOSOC of BERMUN 2024!
This year, we will be focusing on the theme “Fostering Global Citizenship among Identities and Responsibilities”. In light of this, one of our committee’s topics will explore “Regulating Multinational Corporations to Guard Human Rights”, to counter corporate exploitation of human rights in a rapidly globalizing world. Additionally, we will consider approaches to economically protect the identities of indigenous people. Indigenous peoples account for roughly 6.2% of the world's population, and we will seek to prevent the exploitation of their resources but rather help sustain their existence. Let's dive into these issues and find creative and effective solutions for how to deal with them now, to ensure a better future!
I strongly encourage all of you to participate actively and voice your Member State's opinions. It's a great way to learn and grow as a delegate, and it will be a lot of fun as well!
This BERMUN will mark my seventh MUN Conference and third as a Student Officer, and let's work together to make this conference an unforgettable experience for all of us!
I'm a 16-year-old German-American student at the John-F.-Kennedy-School in Berlin, Germany. Outside of MUN, I enjoy playing tennis, viola, and chess.
I can't wait to meet all of you in November!
Benjamin von Schweinitz
