SG PRESENTATION LETTER
Honourable GeMUN participants,
My name is Laura Tradii, I attend the Liceo Linguistico Grazia Deledda and I’m deeply honoured to be the Secretary General of the 8th edition of the Genoa Model United Nations.
After five MUN experiences as a delegate and three as a student officer, it’s my turn to organize this conference, which I would like to be based on two fundamental aspects of the United Nations: common progress and cooperation.
Progress is what our countries aim to, it’s the certainty of a future of wealth, but it can’t be achieved without cooperation, a common struggle towards it.
Those who have taken part to many MUN conferences among you all will know that these word are often repeated and heard during debates, so that they have almost lost their original striking meaning. That’s why, in this MUN session, we would like to give back to cooperation and progress all their original strength, even considering the most recent facts. If we think about how countries cooperated in coping with the emergency of the earthquake in Haiti, or about how the economic crisis in Greece needed a common action of all the European countries, we understand the pressing necessity of a better coordination in acting together.
No personal or national interest has to prevail on the global ones and no country has to be left back on this path to a future of wealth and peace, since isolation brings dependence and poverty. This must be an aim, a path to follow, the fundamental condition which shall guide you all during your preparation and during the debate.
Honourable future delegates and Chairs, consider these two aspects as your “guideline” during your preparation.
In the meantime, our experts group, our staff, our MUN Director and your Secretary General will be ready to solve all your doubts or to help you coping with each problem that could rise.
My best wishes of a fruitful and enriching preparation,
The Secretary General
Laura Tradii
