Einige Worte unserer Generalsekretärin und unseres stellvertretenden Generalsekretärs zum Thema der diesjährigen Konferenz:
​
The United Nations, created as an international platform to ensure that the atrocities of the Second World War would never occur again, now enters into its 79th year of operations. Although successful on many occasions, there is still a need to stay critical and question the power dynamics, decision-making, and implementation of established rules of our biggest international organization.
​
While efforts toward a more just and equal world have been made in recent decades, diverse voices are still heavily underrepresented in decision-making. In global politics, marginalized groups are often spoke about, instead of given their voice. This is the goal of empowerment-enabling marginalized communities and/ or individuals to voice their own opinions.
As we survey the contemporary global landscape, we can choose to look at it through two distinct lenses. We can see a world of immense insecurity, spreading like a mist, neverending. Or we can see a world of immense insecurity which sparks potential to be reclaimed by pioneers of peace. These pioneers may be women who fight oppression and injustice daily, puttingtheir lives on the line; or they can be peace activists and humanitarians in active war zones, running through hell and high water, saving lives.
They can be climate scientists and activists working tirelessly on making our world a better place. However, we think there are way more pioneers than meets the eye. A pioneer of peace, we believe is in every one of us, ready to rise to the challenge and bring change to the world. Because even a small change can mean a big difference.
Come to BIMUN 2024 and awaken your inner pioneer of peace!

Excited to see you in the UN-City of Bonn!
