LETTER FROM SECRETARY GENERAL
Highly esteemed participants and guests
It is my utmost privilege to welcome you to the third edition of the Istanbul Kültür University Model United Nations Conference. My name is Ayşen KÖSE and I am a senior in Istanbul Kültür University Faculty of Law. It is a great honour to serve you as the Secretary General of this conference which will be held in Istanbul between 5-7 April 2019.
IKU MUN Society established five years ago and held two conferences under the motto of “World is a stage, play your role.” We believe that we are all players in a one big stage, and every single act is engaged with another. Today, we affect one another and lead ourselves to a collectively created tomorrow. Therefore, main theme of this year is “Shape Your Future.”
After your great feedbacks and strong demand to continue the tradition of having a court simulation, IKUMUN’19 has four English and one Turkish committees: Futuristic Security Council; Joint Crisis Committee; Futuristic North Atlantic Treaty Organisation; European Court of Human Rights; and our brand new member of the family, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Anayasa Mahkemesi.
On behalf of our academic and organization teams, I would like to express our excitement to spend three days full of debate, crises, learning and most importantly, fun.
We are looking forward to meet and shape the future with you!
Sincerely,
Ayşen KÖSE
Secretary General of IKUMUN 2019

Having been founded in the Early Cold War period, NATO has been the primary defense mechanism for its member states throughout the history.
