Dear Advocates,

​

I’m Tareq Abufalah, a senior at Al-Asriyya Schools, and I am thrilled to announce that I will be presiding over the International Criminal Court (ICC) at this year’s AsriyyaMUN.

​

The concept of Model United Nations (MUN) has fascinated me ever since I joined in the 8th grade. The idea that, for just a few days, we can step into the roles of powerful delegates, collaborate, and strive to create a better future is truly inspiring—especially when the reality of our world often feels far from that vision. Nowhere is this idealistic approach tested more than in the ICC.

​

This forum will challenge your beliefs and moral compasses, dear advocates. It is a space where the lines between right and wrong blur, and the notion of justice as black and white is completely dismantled. Over the course of three days, you will take on the role of either the defense or prosecution in several compelling cases.

​

Our cases this year will include:

● King Leopold II

● Leon Trotsky

● Slobodan Milosevic

​

I am confident that each of you will bring passion and dedication to the court. I encourage you to fully immerse yourselves in the intricate and thought-provoking world of the ICC.

​

Best of luck to you all!
