Delegates
Shaeel Ali, Student of Law
Greetings!
My name is Shaeel, and I am currently in my 7th year studying law at JLU.
I am honored to represent the JLU at the upcoming NMUN conference !
Coming from a political background and with a deep interest in politics (shoutout to my PoWi teachers!), I strongly believe that everyone has the ability to create change. Participating at NMUN might not change the world overnight, but it serves as a powerful platform to bring people from across the globe together. It provides an opportunity to advocate for a political climate based on dialogue and communication rather than division and radicalization.
In today’s political climate, it is more important than ever to stand for these values to ensure peace and freedom for all—whether they live in cities, rural areas or near rivers and seas.
Leon Boos, Student of Law
Hi, my name is Leon Boos, I am 20 years old, and currently in the third semester of my law studies.
I am interested in immersing myself in different countries, their respective cultures as well as their interconnections, which is why I developed a broader interest in public international law. Being able to experience and shape public international law practically at the United Nation in New York is an opportunity for me to deepen my interest in a unique way. I am also interested in meeting several people across the world, working together with them and getting to know their background and goals in life. Thus, I am eager to represent Japan at the GA3 committee, dealing with the protection of and assistance for refugees, returnees and displaced persons as well as the topic of human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation.
Johanna Bopf, Student of Intercultural Communication and Business
Hey there! I’m Johanna, currently studying Intercultural Communication and Business with a former background in education and teaching. Ever since I engaged in intercultural exchange, I have been fascinated by the dynamics of cultural diversity and the way it shapes communication, collaboration, and mutual understanding.
Participating at NMUN resonates deeply with my passion for intercultural cooperation, international relations, and negotiation. Representing Japan as a delegate in the Human Rights Council offers a unique opportunity to raise my voice for critical causes, sharpen national viewpoints in global debates, and experience diplomacy first-hand.
I’m looking forward to addressing urgent global issues with participants from around the world, making NMUN 2025 a truly inspiring and impactful experience!
Metehan Esdevlet, Student of Law

I always had a deep interest in international law and the work at the United Nations, which is why I decided to be part of the Delegation of Japan in the committee of the Human Rights Council at the MUN in New York. Safeguarding Human Rights in Peaceful Protests and the Right to Privacy are topics that I am looking forward to in the upcoming NMUN 2025!

building resilience for communities worldwide.

After participating at NMUN 2024 I was very happy about having the chance to participate again in 2025. International Humanitarian Law, International Criminal Law and the work of international organizations are highly interesting to me. NMUN 2024 has given me the chance to broaden my understanding on these topics. I look forward to participating again with the knowledge I gained from last year and helping the new delegates prepare is going to be an incredible experience. NMUN 2025 will allow me to further my skills in diplomacy and meet new people from different backgrounds.
Ninder Nath, Student of Law
Hello!
I am Ninder, 24 years old and a law student in my third semester at the Justus-Liebig-Universität in Gießen.
I have always loved debating and conversing with new people so I firmly believe participating at Model United Nations will let me experience the joy of both.
I want to believe that the right kind of diplomacy and politics is the key to welfare and to a better society for all of us. So, I am looking forward to seeing the workings of the United Nations simulated in an international environment and hope to hone my rhetorical skills further. I am also very excited to meet many like-minded people from different cultures all over the world!

I was thrilled by the experience I gained at NMUN 2024. Since I am particularly interested in Public International Law, International Humanitarian Law, International Criminal Law, and Transnational Crime, NMUN was a unique opportunity to foster my knowledge practically. Attending NMUN 2025 with the knowledge I bring now and helping other delegates prepare is a privilege. I look forward to further improving my diplomatic skills and meeting new people with different cultural backgrounds. NMUN is the perfect platform for this!
Serena Osei, Student of Law
My name is Serena, and I am currently in my fifth semester studying law.
The reason I look forward to participating in NMUN is that the conference will provide an opportunity to gain a realistic insight into the political decision-making process of the UN and to acquire diverse perspectives from other participants. I am thrilled to represent Japan in GA1 and engage in discussions on the issue of Confidence-Building Measures in the Regional and Sub-Regional Context and as well on the issue on Promoting Nuclear Disarmament and International Security. By participating in these discussions, I hope to contribute to reigniting political engagement.

I look forward to an inspiring journey with NMUN 2025 and am eager to contribute to meaningful discussions on some of today’s most pressing global challenges!

I am eager to learn new things, develop my skills and get to know people that are as interested in international affairs and diplomacy as I am.
As a Student with a passion for development economics and international cooperation, I am happy to represent Japan in the UNDP!
It is an honor to be part of this Team!
