Dear Judges and Advocates of the ICC,
I am thrilled to welcome you to this year's International Criminal Court! It is my distinct honour to serve as the President of the ICC at BERMUN XXXV.
The ICC will deliberate over the highly compelling case of The Planet v. Jair Messias Bolsonaro. The case is related to global climate inequality, specifically its detrimental effects on humanity, and sits at the core of our conference theme “Resilient and Sustainable Development to Combat Climate Inequality.” It underscores how ecocide, the action of committing an unlawful and reckless act with long-term damage to the environment, can be considered a crime against humanity. Furthermore, the case reaffirms the significance of multilateral international institutions to foster justice, equality, and peace globally.
I’m a 15-year-old 10th grader at the John F. Kennedy School in Berlin and have been a part of the MUN program since 2023. This BERMUN marks my 11th conference overall and my fourth time working as a member of the Student Officer Team.
Besides MUN, you may find me practicing the tenor saxophone, playing golf, and engaging politically. Furthermore, I enjoy traveling and exploring beaches and cities around the world. Additionally, I take great pleasure in listening to, composing, writing, and discussing music and all its genres.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. I am looking forward to seeing you in November!
Sincerely,
Maxim Schnabel
