Letter From The Secretary-General
Most distinguished members of the MUN Community,
It is my utmost honor and privilege to welcome you to Istanbul University Model United Nations 2026. On behalf of the entire Secretariat, I extend my warmest greetings to every delegate, advisor, and participant who has chosen to be a part of this journey.
We gather at a time when the world faces challenges. From political polarization and armed conflicts to climate crises and economic instability, the international community is constantly tested in its ability to cooperate and find sustainable solutions. In such an era, the need for dialogue, understanding, and diplomacy becomes more crucial than ever.
Umut Işık USLUYER
Secretary General
This is precisely where Model United Nations finds its true significance. Since the beginning of my own MUN journey in 2019, I have believed that this community is not only a space for academic excellence, but also a place where individuals encounter minds capable of reshaping the course of a world often marked by cruelty and division. As wars persist, inequalities deepen, and societal divides seem to widen, it may feel at times that cooperation struggles to keep pace with conflict. Yet history has repeatedly shown that meaningful change rarely begins with certainty; it begins with those who refuse to accept the world as it is.
As a great man once said “There are no hopeless situations, but hopeless people. I have never lost my hope.” It is in that spirit that we, as the commons, should continue pushing for a better and brighter future where everyone can share joy, peace and love for each other. I firmly believe that through our collective efforts, that future is within reach.
For a better tomorrow,
