International Court of Justice

President: James Lee (IBST)     

Greetings! My name is James Lee, a current sophomore at the International Bilingual School at Hsinchu Science Park and it is my utmost honor to serve as the President of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) this year. I started my MUN career, like most people, as an admin, passing notes and filling up other people’s water bottles at HSINMUN XIII. After my first conference, I realized that I really enjoyed MUN, and my passion and enthusiasm for MUN has increased since. This year’s STMUN will be my 16th conference and my fourth time in the ICJ. I am really excited to see a new generation of advocates debate in the ICJ and hopefully, this year’s court case will be very entertaining to watch as well as fun to debate. Outside of MUN, I enjoy binge watching TV shows, listening to music, and helping out the community. Some words of advice to the advocates this year: don’t wait until the last minute to work on the documents necessary for the case. Furthermore, prepare your witnesses well and hopefully, you will find the experience enjoyable! If advocates or judges have any questions feel free to contact me!

Deputy President: Annina (IBSH)

My name is Annina Vaisanen, a junior at the International Bilingual School at Hsinchu Science Park, and it is my utmost honor to be serving as your ICJ Deputy President for STMUN XII. Having attended my first MUN conference over three years ago, I recall being instantly captivated by the staggering levels of diplomacy and cooperation which MUN embodies. Since then, MUN has played a focal role in my personal growth and has fostered my passion in advocating for human rights, concurrently opening my eyes to the manifold pressing issues we face as a global community. I hope that all those attending STMUN XII can take it as an opportunity to gain further insight on global issues, cultivate an objective outlook toward our world, and develop confidence in public speaking. Aside from MUN, I enjoy singing, cheerleading, true crime, and all things related to medicine and biology. I also love Grey’s Anatomy and Suits on Netflix! I am looking forward to working with you all over these next few days.
