Dear Delegates,
I am excited to welcome you to the General Assembly Legal Committee of ILMUNC! My name is Jack, and as the moderator I look forward to guiding you through engaging and impactful discussions that explore various aspects of international peace and security.
Often referred to as the “Sixth Committee” of the United Nations General Assembly, Legal deciphers numerous provisions of International Law. Maintaining global peace and security is a collective effort that relies on the effective functioning of both international and regional organizations. Regional organizations play a crucial role in maintaining peace and security within their respective regions, as they are closer to the issues facing the member states.
A little bit about me, I am a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences studying Political Science and Communications. I’m originally from Kennesaw, Georgia. This will be my second conference that I have helped to plan with ILMUNC and hope that you all have an enriching and valuable experience! Outside of ILMUNC, I’m a campus tour guide for Penn Admissions and write an Opinion Column in our school’s newspaper, The Daily Pennsylvanian. I love exploring Philly and listening to music as much as possible!
Ila, Alyssa, and I are all looking forward to working with you in the Legal committee. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions regarding the committee.

Dear Delegates,
I want to welcome you to the Legal Committee of ILMUNC! My name is Ila Namburi, one of your chairs for the conference, who cannot wait to guide you through engaging and meaningful discussions that explore the legal system on the global scale.
Often referred to as the "Sixth Committee" of the United Nations General Assembly, the UN Legal Committee focuses on topics related to international law and legal affairs. Upholding the principles of justice and legality is essential for fostering cooperation and resolving disputes among nations. In an era of evolving legal precedence, addressing emerging issues such as cyber law and transnational crime requires collaborative efforts and innovative solutions. I eagerly anticipate your insights on navigating these complex legal issues.
To tell you about myself, I am a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics. I went to high school at Crystal Springs Uplands School in Hillsborough, California where I was captain of my school’s mock trial team, so I am fascinated by the legal system. This is my first conference chairing at ILMUNC and I hope to ensure you all have an engaging and valuable experience! Outside of ILMUNC, I love skiing, singing, and am an adventure junkie at heart!
Jack, Alyssa, and I cannot wait to work with you in the Legal Committee. Please feel free to reach out to us with any of your questions.
