Honorable participants, and the most esteemed guests,
Greetings! As the Secretary General and the Deputy Secretary General, we are more than honored to present you this year’s TCGS Model United Nations IX Annual Conference! Established in 2011, TCGSMUN has spared no effort in offering high-academic-quality events to students coming from different backgrounds all over Taiwan. This year, despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the organizing team took the bull by the horns and worked flat out to host the conference.
The theme of TCGSMUN 2021 is “Truth never damages a cause that is just.” The quote is given by Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of India. During the freedom movement against British rule, he used truth as well as non-violence as his weapon against injustices. Strongly believing in truth, he introduced the spirit of Satyagraha to the globe which implies firmly holding to the truth, representing belief in truth and devotion to truth.
Born in this era when our surroundings are glutted with knowledge, we, young generations, are faced with massive amounts of information every single day, all of which are intertwined with misinformation, disinformation, and truth. TCGSMUN believes that to give up on truth is to give up on justice. If nothing is true, power can not be criticized; if nothing is true, brutality would prevail impartiality. Thus, we sincerely hope all the participants value this conference by pondering, discussing, even debating on how to distinguish the fact, to seek the truth from facts, and to learn to utilize facts to contribute to justices.
With all that being said, we sincerely welcome you to take part in this year’s conference. We hope that TCGSMUN IX can bring you a memorable note to your MUN journey.
Best,
Sharon Lin &Waverley Ko
Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General of TCGSMUN IX
THEME INTRODUCTION
Truth never damages a cause that is just.
This year, the organizing team is pleased to announce the theme of TCGSMUN 9th is “Truth never damages a cause that is just.” The quote is given by the pioneer of Nationalist Movement against British rule of India, Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi is known as the Father of India. In the freedom movement, he used truth as well as non-violence as his weapon against injustices. Strongly believing in truth, he introduced the spirit of Satyagraha to the public. Satyagraha is firmly holding to the truth, representing belief in truth and devotion to truth.
Living in the era of information explosion, we, young generations, are faced with massive amounts of information, all of which are intertwined with misinformation and truth. TCGSMUN believes that to abandon truth is to abandon justice. If nothing is true, power can not be criticized; if nothing is true, brutality would prevail impartiality. Thus, we sincerely hope all the participants value this conference by pondering, discussing, even debating on how to distinguish the fact, to seek the truth from facts, and to learn to utilize facts to contribute to justices.
