Quick insight into the Middle-East through the eyes of a witty young man!

----------

''I am Mihkel Märtens, president of the Society of International Relations. The Middle East, which is the main theme of Tartu MUN this year, is my favourite region in the world. The region manages to maintain it's mystique to the western world.

Last summer I travelled to Israel and Palestine. The regions' historical importance is unparalleled. It contains numerous holy sites for the largest Abrahamic religions. The Temple Mount, The Western Wall and The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem and The Cave of the Patriarchs/Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron are just some of the special places which I had the chance to visit. These places really make you appreciate the history of the region and due to its importance, the history of modern civilization.

The Middle East can seem to be a really complex region to analyse, and rightly so! Culture, religion and geopolitics play their part. Tartu MUN is the perfect event to take your first steps, so don't hesitate and register to participate!''

UN General Assembly: World leaders' attempts to stand out 19/02/2019

UN General Assembly: World leaders' attempts to stand out

''Theatre and emotion'' it one way to call the UN General Assembly. Every world leader has 15 minutes to make their point but we all know that politics can get heated.

Did you know that Fidel Castro ones held a speech in UN General Assembly for 4 and half hours!

The Changing Security Structure in the Middle East

Happy New Year! 🎉

After a week of celebrating the new year and enjoying the holiday we are back. TartuMUN team is really excited to continue working.

Almost 3 years ago CSIS published this article about the changing security structure in the Middle East. Has anything changed since then? Were the predictions correct?

Here is the interesting article:

The Changing Security Structure in the Middle East There is nothing new about change in the security structure of the Middle East and North Africa, nor is it new that many key changes seemingly come without warning. The challenge today, however, is not to examine the past but to focus on the future, and here I have been asked to give a keynote speec...

Ali G learns about the UN

Christmas holidays are almost here and we're sure everyone is going to have a busy week celebrating with their friends and family. This is also true for us and for this reason we will be opening registration for Tartu MUN 2019 in early January! So as not to end the year on a serious note, here's a quick overview of the innerworkings of the United Nations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdjAD035oJc

More journalists were murdered for their reporting in 2018 than were killed covering war 21/12/2018

More journalists were murdered for their reporting in 2018 than were killed covering war

Another topic on the list is Freedom of the Press and 2018 has been a problematic year in that regard.
"The brutal murder of Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi captured the world’s attention this year. But he was just one of 34 journalists murdered because of their work in 2018, up from 18 the year before." Who do you think has has the biggest influence in the rise of the issue? What are the reasons behind it? Who could solve the issue and how?

Here is a short article about the problems with press freedom in the Middle-East:

Tartu MUN continues to collect memories from last year! :) This time it's Krista Belija's turn! Krista is from Latvia and at the moment she's doing her masters in international relations in Tartu!

Registration for TartuMUN 2018 opens in less than two weeks so be ready!

"Last year was my first MUN and it was full of new discoveries that led to challenging myself with the position of the chair this year. These are three days that are hard and exhausting. Yet, Tartu MUN is also a place to learn something new, express yourself and simply to have a fun weekend with your friends and to find new ones! So smile, be amazing and see you at Tartu MUN 2018!"

Saskia Jõers was one of the MUN participants last year. This year she's joining the team as an organiser.

"I was the delegate from the president's worst nighmare.
I have been doing simulations for about 5 years now and for 4 of them only in the role of an organiser. You might say that I came out of delegate retirement only to go out with a bang. During the GA I proposed (as Russia) to the United States that we should start a war in the Arctic, they agreed. We mutually and happily started gathering supporters for our cause. When the time for the amendment came the presidency scrapped it and you could hear the disappointment in the room. Some plots to overthrow the presidency might have come up.
This year I will be joining the chairs team and take a more peaceful approach to the MUN experience."
