It is with utmost excitement that I welcome you to join us for the 8th anual session of
Gündoğdu Model United Nations. I am honored to serve as the President of a conference
that embodies traditions of education and excellence, and I could not be more excited to
host you at our conference. Over the three days of GMUN, delegates from different cities
and countries will discuss and solve pressing global issues, engage in diplomacy, and safely
interact with their peers.
I recommend that delegates with little experience with Model United Nations simulations
read the entire document carefully, as it will provide a thorough introduction to the
dynamics of an actual committee session. Familiarity with the flow of the committee will
allow a new delegate to jump into debate immediately upon arrival at the conference.
All the focal points of the committees have to be understood carefully. Please bear in mind
that study guides are not a comprehensive total review of the issue, and it merely serves as a
path through which every delegate can start researching. The course of the committee will
require agile reactions to every event, so it is in the best interest of every member of the
committee if you were to complement this study guide with other resources and develop a
comprehensive understanding of the issue. It is my hope that the experiences had during our
conference will inspire future leadership, diplomacy, and knowledge that will stay with you
for long after our gavel marks the end of closing ceremonies.
Sincerely, President Birbey Özcan ULAŞER
