Conference Theme

Every year, the HLISMUN conference is guided by a central theme that delineates the topics of debate and the structure of its councils. This year, the theme is “Global Unity in an Era of Fragmentation: Confronting Polarisation with Diplomacy”, a pertinent and substantial focus in the contemporary world.

This theme prompts delegates to delve into the intricacies of conflict, encompassing its root causes to the diplomatic, economic, and humanitarian endeavors necessitated for dispute resolution and the promotion of enduring peace. Committees will engage with historical and contemporary case studies, scrutinizing the contributions of international organizations, governments, and civil society to peace processes.

Through discussions on mediation, disarmament, human rights, and post-conflict reconstruction, HLISMUN endeavors to equip participants with the competencies to navigate global tensions and negotiate effective solutions. This theme underscores the paramount significance of international cooperation, trust-building, and sustainable development in securing enduring peace.

By positioning the conference at the nexus of Global Unity and tackling polarzation, HLISMUN challenges delegates to engage in critical thinking, foster effective collaboration, and develop leadership skills essential for contributing to a more peaceful global environment.

I am deeply proud to witness how HLISMUN continuously empowers students from all backgrounds with the rare and invaluable opportunity to cultivate the art of diplomacy.
