WLMUN XX

Esteemed directors, fellow delegates, and distinguished guests,

 

The secretariat team is thrilled to welcome you to the twentieth plenary session of West Lake Model United Nations conference. The conference is to be help from November 13th to 15th, 2026 where delegates from all over the world will be debating in our halls on the modern issues of the world.

 

The theme of this year’s conference, Seconds to Midnight, Miles to Go, explores the themes of the Doomsday clock, which established by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, was made to track the constant existential threats to humanity to act as a symbol of how close humanity is to its total self-destruction, as of January of this year, we are 85 seconds to midnight the closest humanity has ever been to its “end”. Miles to go suggests that though we are mere seconds to demise, we still have a long journey to go till humanity can reach a peaceful equilibrium where the prospect of our impending doom is hours away instead of sheer seconds. This topic pushes the urgency of our actions against the problems compromising our lives and our planet such as the wars plaguing our countries, the illnesses spreading throughout us, and the natural disasters destroying our landscape and cities.

 

We are honored to host ten committees, including United Nations Environmental Programme, United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, open for pre-beginners, World Health Organization, Special Political and Decolonization Committee, United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development, open for beginners, United Nations Human Rights Council, United Nations Historical, open for intermediate delegates, International Court of Justice, Security Council, and Crisis Committee, which are open for advanced delegates.

 

West Lake MUN XX offers exclusive Director’s Workshops, providing in-depth training and insights from experienced MUN directors. We also provide chair mentorship programs to ensure that first-time chairs feel comfortable and prepared walking into the committee room.

 

West Lake MUN provides an unparalleled Model United Nations experience, where middle school and high school students come together to engage in dynamic debates and diplomacy.
