Dear Delegates of the SOCHUM,
Welcome to this year's 2025 BERMUN conference!
This BERMUN will focus on “Building a Rules-Based Order to Withstand Autocracy.” In many member states around the globe, autocratic governance often leads to a large part of their governing bodies having an unproportionally small number of minorities within the government. A lack of integration is usually paired with tensions between racial, cultural, and/or religious groups, causing political extremism on either side of the spectrum. For this reason, the topic the SOCHUM Committee will address is: “Encouraging the political integration and representation of minorities within governments.”
On a more personal note, I started participating in Model United Nations approximately three years ago. Since then, I have attended nine conferences, six of them as a delegate and three as chair. The hardest part of speaking for me was when I got a question I was not ready for out of the blue, so I highly recommend we all prepare to be well-versed in our policy and roles at this conference.
I am 16 years old and have lived in Berlin for most of my life, but was born in Rome, Italy. Therefore, I speak English, German, Italian, and am learning French. Some of my passions are MUN (obviously), languages, playing lacrosse, meeting new people, and spending time with friends.
I'm excited to meet you in November!
Sincerely,
Benjamin Mosseri
Chair of the SOCHUM
