I now consider myself an AsriyyaMUN alumni member and intend to remain a part of this worthwhile activity even during my years of studying medicine at the Jordan University. As such, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the fourth annual AsriyyaMUN conference .
AsriyyaMUN '15, will be my 18th conference, and 10th chairing experience. The General Assembly has always been my favourite forum in because of the large number of countries represented in it., which adds to the diversity of opinions in the debate. Therefore, with the theme for this year's conference being “Embracing Diversity”, I am anticipating that we will have a conference to remember!

With that said: high quality debate is what I expect!

Dina Asali
Chair; Human Rights Council
Al-Asriyya Schools Graduate
Hello delegates, my name is Dina Asali, I'm a freshmen design student at GJU, and I welcome you to the 4th annual AsriyyaMUN conference. As an MUN enthusiast, I've attended 14 MUN conferences of which 2 were international, in addition to my experience in chairing and being the head of media as well as head organizer of previous AsriyyaMUN teams. Its my pleasure to be chairing The Human Rights Commission, which is a committee that aims to protect and preserve international human rights. We live in a world where “diversity” has become a popular topic for academic exposition. diversity is “the fact or quality of being diverse; difference” or “a point of respect in which things differ.” All human beings are diverse; there is diversity within and among cultures; essentially, diversity exists among individuals and the communities we all share. To value diversity is to respect human worth. A system is strengthened when it recognizes and appreciates the varied backgrounds of those it serves. We all contribute and benefit from the broad spectrum of unique human qualities. Diversity is the energy that enlivens our colorful world. I'm looking forward with anticipation for all of you delegates, especially first timers, to participate in an unforgettable debate charged with heated arguments, diverse thoughts, and of course, successful resolutions! If you have any inquiries, don't hesitate to email me at dina.asali13@gmail.com, looking forward to meet you all!
