Letter from the President

Dear Delegates,

Welcome to the 22nd Conference of AISMUN, “The World Unlocked.” It is a pleasure to have you take part in a conference that seeks to challenge perspectives, encourage dialogue, and address some of the most pressing issues facing the international community today.

It is also my honor to welcome you to the United Nations General Assembly First Committee: Disarmament and International Security (DISEC). My name is Isabella Ávila, and I will be serving as the President of this honored committee. Alongside the dais, I look forward to guiding you through what promises to be a dynamic and intellectually demanding debate.

It might be within the knowledge of many the phrase stated by Albert Einstein: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking that created them.” This idea lies at the very core of DISEC’s mission. As global security threats continue to evolve, traditional approaches to warfare, defense, and diplomacy are no longer sufficient. Innovation, critical thinking, and international cooperation are essential in addressing modern challenges.

Throughout this committee, delegates will discuss complex topics such as the regulation of autonomous weapons systems and artificial intelligence in warfare, as well as the escalating tensions between Venezuela and the United States. These issues require a deep understanding of international law, geopolitical dynamics, and ethical responsibility. The dais expects delegates to engage respectfully, support their arguments through research, and strive for realistic and collaborative solutions.

Finally, please remember that the dais is here to support you throughout the conference. Whether you have procedural questions, need clarification, or seek guidance before and during the debate, we are always available to assist you in making the most of this experience. We wish you the best of luck in your preparations and look forward to an outstanding committee session.

Sincerely,

Isabella Ávila

Dais, Disarmament and International Security Committee, AISMUN XXII
