3rd International Session of

Zygmunt Model United Nations

@ American School of Warsaw23 - 24 April, 2020

Good Health and Well-Being:Ensuring healthy lives and promoting

well-being for all at all ages (Sustainable Development Goal 3)

Secretary General’s Welcome Honorable Delegates, Esteemed Directors, and Guests,

I would like to extend my sincerest welcome to all of you to this third session of Zygmunt Model United Nations at the American School of Warsaw. First off, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to all of you for your dedication and perseverance to the conference in these trying times. Thanks to every single delegate and director who stayed with us, or signed up, we were able to not only continue this year’s conference but, thanks to your feedback, grow it into something greater. This year, we are honored to have a group of over 150 delegates from countries all around the globe. Every conference is reliant on the people in it, but the support we have received from the MUN community has

been truly overwhelming. Even though most, if not all of you, have never participated in a conference digitally, the enthusiasm and support I’ve seen from delegates and directors have me convinced that this conference will be truly incredible. Therefore, I would like to thank you for participating in this year’s conference and wish you all the best in your commi�ees.

This year’s theme has taken a new meaning for all of us. Sustainable development

goal three, Good Health and Well-Being: Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages, has been our topic since the fall in 2019, but it is now something we hear of every day. Health and Well-Being have become a headline topic and have affected all of us and even this conference. So whether you’re discussing the treatment of prisoners, or medical care for people in conflict, I would ask you to look at the world. Look to the country you are representing, look to its policy, and bring it to debate. With that in mind, I’m confident that debate will flow on this topic in an unprecedented manner.

For these two days, delegates will form 6 commi�ees to discuss these issues around

this theme, and come to new solutions for these issues. This year’s conference will be the first ZYGMUN to be hosted digitally. It will take some ge�ing used to, but having seen commi�ee sessions I am confident that this conference will be fruitful, and enjoyable, for everyone involved. I wish to assure all of you, that I shall do my utmost to ensure that this conference will be as enjoyable for you, as it was for us organizing it. On behalf of the entire Secretariat and our Directorate here at ASW, I would like to thank all of you again and wish you all the best for the conference.

I wish you a fruitful, enjoyable, and unforge�able conference, Ian Wilder Secretary-General
