RegION LETTER
Welcome to the Hisar Junior Model United Nations Conference 2026!
​
As the Head of the Organ Committees, I am honored to welcome you to another year of intellectual collaboration and global awareness at Hisar JMUN. This year, our conference will revolve around the region of Central Europe, a crossroads of cultures, histories, and political transformations that have shaped modern Europe.
​
Central Europe has long been a region defined by its complexity; a space where the legacies of empire, the pursuit of democracy, and the challenges of integration within the European Union all converge. Today, it stands as a vital link between Western and Eastern Europe, embodying both remarkable progress and persistent struggles. From the vibrant cities of Prague and Budapest to the borderlands of Poland and Lithuania, Central Europe continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of European stability, governance, and identity.
​
This year’s committees and their agendas reflect the pressing issues and historical developments that continue to define the region.
​
The Security Council will deliberate on managing border disputes and minority rights between Hungary and Romania, preventing the spillover of the Ukraine conflict into Central Europe, and addressing the militarization of the SuwaÅ‚ki Gap on the Poland–Lithuania border, matters crucial to the region’s security and the balance of power in Europe.
​
The Human Rights Council will examine the situation of Roma communities across Central Europe, the erosion of judicial independence and civil liberties in Poland and Hungary, and the safeguarding of minority language and cultural rights, issues that highlight the region’s ongoing struggle between progress and protection of fundamental freedoms.
​
Our UNICEF Committee will focus on tackling child poverty and social inequality, combating human trafficking of minors, and expanding access to digital education for rural and isolated communities, emphasizing the importance of social justice and the next generation’s well-being.
​
Meanwhile, the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) will analyze Central Europe’s pursuit of energy independence, the economic consequences of brain drain and emigration, and fair labor standards for seasonal and migrant workers within the European Union, all of which are vital for sustainable growth and equitable prosperity.
​
The Advisory Panel on the Question of Central Europe (APQ) will delve into the region’s political trajectory by addressing corruption within governments, the rise of nationalism and illiberal democratic trends, and the future of NATO enlargement in Central and Eastern Europe; a reflection of the delicate balance between sovereignty, democracy, and collective defense.
​
The Historical Security Council will revisit the Hungarian Uprising of 1956, the Prague Spring of 1968, and the Balkan Wars of the 1990s, pivotal moments that redefined Central Europe’s political and ideological landscape. Similarly, the Historical Committees will examine the Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, a turning point that symbolized the end of division and the dawn of a new European era. Finally, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) will explore the Gabcíkovo–Nagymaros Project case (Hungary v. Slovakia), a landmark dispute concerning environmental responsibility, sovereignty, and international cooperation that remains relevant today.
​
By unifying all committees under the region of Central Europe, delegates will gain an immersive, interconnected understanding of the region’s past and present. This structure will encourage collaboration among committees, foster analytical thinking, and inspire delegates to craft innovative solutions to the challenges that define Central Europe’s dynamic place in the world.
Sincerely,
​
Benan Yangın
Head of Organ Committees
