Members of the Security Council,

​

It is my utmost pleasure to welcome you to KAMUN’26.

In the Security Council, delegates will face the unique challenge of debating under pressure while adapting to rapidly shifting situations. What makes this committee truly special is its AD-HOC debate style, which demands quick thinking, collaboration, and diplomacy under fire.

I am Ali Lahham, an eleventh grader at King’s Academy, and I am honored to serve as this year’s President of the Security Council. My passion for MUN was inspired by my aunt, the co-founder of the Amman Model United Nations (AMMUN)—Jordan’s first and only THIMUN-affiliated conference. Her example taught me the power of youth-led dialogue and has driven my own journey from delegate to chair.

The Security Council has always stood out to me for its intensity and unpredictability. It is where diplomacy meets strategy, and where some of the sharpest minds come together to tackle crises in real time. Every session promises a challenge and an opportunity to grow.

As you prepare, I leave you with a quote that captures the essence of leadership in difficult times:

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston Churchill

I cannot wait to see the creativity, resilience, and leadership you will bring to the table.
 

Sincerely,
Ali Lahham
President of the Security Council
