Dear Delegates,
I’m thrilled to welcome you to the Disarmament Committee of BERMUN2 2025!
Inequality is not just a statistic or an abstract idea; it is a harsh reality that people worldwide experience daily. From access to education and healthcare to the distribution of wealth and political representation, the barriers faced by marginalized groups continue to grow. This year's theme “Fighting Inequality” allows us to confront these injustices and imagine a world where all people have equal rights and opportunities.
Within this broader struggle lies an urgent issue: “Addressing Ethnic Inequalities in Post-Conflict Zones”. In the aftermath of conflicts, societies face the task of rebuilding their institutions and mending the deeply-rooted division that contributed to the violence. Ethnic inequalities, if left unaddressed, can increase tensions, potentially reigniting conflict. Thus, it perpetuates a cycle of distrust and conflict, thereby undermining any efforts made towards long-term peace. By tackling these ethnic inequalities, we can eliminate the barriers of exclusion and take meaningful steps in the fight against inequality.
On a more personal note, I am 15 years old and a sophomore attending the John F. Kennedy School in Berlin. In my free time, I enjoy playing piano, dancing, and spending time with my friends. I was born in London and moved to Berlin nearly seven years ago. Having been a part of my school's MUN program for almost two years, this will be my fifth conference and second as a chair.
I can’t wait to see you in February!
Giselle Bullion
