GENERAL ASSEMBLY VI: 
Legal

The term "revolution" often favors romanticism within literature, either when a student rebels against a system that oppresses passion, or when novels illustrate the rebellion against governments that undermine free thought. However, the success of such uprisings often allows us temporary distraction from the lives lost in such processes. In modern day, revolutions ignite strong emotions, both hope and fear, and can be categorized into what romantic poets often referred to as "The Sublime", as we try to distance ourselves from a concept we only see in media or literature, in fear of being one of the by-effects of the rebellion. 

 

"When I was a child, I thought changing the world was simple. I would tell the people in charge all of my problems, and they would fix them." - Malala, What I Got Wrong About Changing the World, 2026. 

 

My name is Bella Hsieh, a rising junior at Hong Wen International High School, and it is my honor this year to serve at HSINMUN as head chair of the GA6 Committee. This year's topic revolves around illegal marine activity and economic activity, which I myself take great interest in, and I'm extremely excited by how the debate will turn out. Contrary to how it proceeds, MUN has never been about simulation: its true goal is to ignite the hunger in every one of you, to strive to achieve change in your local community, or for you to find a global issue that deeply resonates with you. I sincerely hope that this conference can serve as a turning point in your life, either allowing you to gain a new perspective or to sharpen your critical thinking. Feel free to reach out through my email (beebella.1213@gmail.com) or Instagram (@prettypeii) if you have any questions! 

 

Do not fear revolution or impact in your community, for it does not always take on a destructive nature at its roots. 

Usually, it begins with a speech. 

 

See you all at HSINMUN 2026!

My name is John Weng, a sophomore at the American School in Taichung, and it is with the greatest honor that I serve as your Deputy President of General Assembly 6 (GA6) at HSINMUN XXII. This marks my thirteenth conference and third time as a chair.

 

I began my MUN journey in sixth grade with gradual encouragement from my friends and family, when I was just another timid delegate representing Albania in TASMUN. The debates were intense and fruitful—but I only gave one speech for the entirety of the conference. As someone who started terrified of public speaking, collaboration, and social interaction, I understand how intimidating it can be to speak in front of everyone on the podium. Because of that, I strive to create an encouraging and inclusive environment in the room and motivate all delegates to safely and confidently contribute to the issue at hand to make the conference enjoyable for all.

 

Aside from doing MUN, I like playing basketball, swimming, and frisbee, grinding my chess rating, and binge-watching sitcoms. If you also have similar interests, feel free to chat with me about those topics!

 

I look forward to seeing all of you in October for HSINMUN XXII!
