Welcome to THSVK MUN'25

Letter from Secretary-General

Every headline, and every quote, is another moment we are told to pick a side, to believe, and to care. But half the time, we’re not sure what’s real. Information travels faster than truth now. So much of what we see isn't meant to inform but to draw us in. We’re constantly online, constantly connected, and still, it’s harder than ever to know what to trust. The same tool that can inform is the one used to mislead. What we accept, what we ignore, who we let speak, and who we silence are choices that shape the world more than the facts themselves.

Maybe that’s the point. To keep us overlooking, endlessly and passively, until our instincts to react are replaced with reflexes to ignore. Every crisis overlaps with the next, every tragedy blends into another, until even the concern begins to dull. The horror doesn’t go away, but our ability to feel it does. The world keeps burning and breaking, and yet somehow, we’re still expected to get up and keep it moving. Not because we’ve grown colder, but because we’ve been trained to.

Every day, we’re handed narratives already shaped, stories already spun. And over time, it becomes easier to move past than to stop and question. To accept a headline, a caption, and call it the full story. We begin to confuse information with understanding. Engagement with awareness. And slowly, the noise becomes normal; the chaos, expected. Even the outrage, routine. In this blur, truth isn’t just hidden, it’s exhausted. Not forgotten, but worn down, buried under a thousand other versions of itself. So we adapt, we filter, we numb. And what we choose to believe becomes less about what is right, and more about what feels convenient, familiar, and comfortable.

Dear delegates,

In a time when certainty is scarce and objectivity is slipping through the cracks, your role becomes more than a mere participant in discourse. You stand at the edge of a world that is watching, listening, and often, misled. The challenge ahead isn’t just about resolving conflict or proposing solutions. It’s about choosing what you allow to hold weight. It's about engaging with complexity when the world is stuck looking for simplicity. You are not just debating policy. You are defining what it means to seek clarity in an age of noise.
