RegION LETTER
Welcome to the Hisar Junior Model United Nations Conference 2025!
As the Head of the Organ Committees, I am honored to welcome you to a unique and enriching educational experience. This year the Organ Committees which include the Security Council, Human Rights Council, Economic and Social Council, Advisory Panel, Historical Security Council, Historical Committees, and the International Court of Justice will be centered around the theme of Latin America.
Latin America boasts an extraordinary cultural tapestry and dynamic socio-political landscape. However, it faces significant challenges, including political instability, economic inequality, and social injustices. In recent decades, Latin America has strived to overcome these hurdles, making progress in areas like democratic governance, economic diversification, and human rights. Nevertheless, the region remains affected by issues such as corruption and violence.
The agenda items for this year’s conference will reflect the pressing issues facing Latin America. The Human Rights Council will tackle issues related to cartel human trafficking in Mexico, arbitrary arrests and harsh prison conditions in El Salvador, along with the troubling presence of child labor across the region. The Economic and Social Council will focus on topics like improving infrastructure in developing nations, evaluating Argentina’s shift toward libertarian economic policies, and addressing discrimination against Latin American immigrants in the United States.
Our Security Council will explore vital matters, including the cartel crisis in Haiti, electoral impasses in Venezuela, and ongoing guerrilla activity in Colombia. Meanwhile, the Advisory Panel on the Question of Latin America (APQLA) will work toward innovative solutions to combat corruption, strengthen democratic institutions, and improve freedom of press across the region.
Meanwhile, our high school delegates will be having a journey back in time. Our Historical Security Council will delve into the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Falklands War, and the Football War. Similarly, members of the Historical Committee will also go back in time to relive the Mexican-American War, allowing them to explore and change the events that shaped Latin America’s relationship with its northern neighbors through their creative proposals. Finally, those who take part in the International Court of Justice will explore the case of Nicaragua v. Colombia, examining alleged violations of sovereignty in the Caribbean Sea.
Through the unification of all committees under the theme of Latin America delegates will be provided with an immersive, interconnected experience that promotes a comprehensive understanding of the region. This way the delegates will be encouraged to consider the intricate regional context, fostering cooperation and cross-committee collaboration to address Latin America’s challenges.
Sincerely,
Kaan Erdem
Head of Organ Committees
