Our Project Manager
Hi everyone! I am Rémi Zenaïdi! I am a student at Sciences Po Lille, currently in exchange with Chung Ang University and I’m interning at the same time at PSCORE!
As project manager of Model UNSF 2024, it has been my role to initiate the structure of the event, as well as supervising the overall organization of the event. Being really active in MUN for now 3 years, it is such an honour for me to take care of this unique conference!
Model UNSF is indeed the only conference enabling the participants to have visits, lectures and talks as well as simulations. This mix gives the opportunity to understand deeply multiples aspects of the conference’s subjects. At the end of the 3 days, the participants will have acquired thorough knowledge about the Korean Peninsula and human rights in North Korea. They will then spread this awareness around them, at a time when it is very important to keep talking about the situation in North Korea.
The various workshops and activities of our conference are also the perfect tools to promote cohesion, multilateralism and international law, in a world facing the challenges of these principles. These ones are however crucial to build a peaceful and appeased world, where humans rights could be a reality for everyone. Convincing you of that is for me the very first goal of this Model UNSF 2024!

Hi! my name is Zelal, and I am an undergraduate studying international relations and law in Germany. Currently, I am doing an exchange year at CNU in Daejeon and also intern at PSCORE. Working in the organizing team for the Model UNSF 2024 is a very unique experience, as it provides insights into the background of such conferences. My interest in Model United Nations was sparked by my own participation in the NMUN Conference in NYC last year.
So far, I really enjoy working with PSCORE as it gives me the chance to support human rights in North Korea and also to work with an inspiring and diverse team. Unfortunately, human rights violations in North Korea often go unnoticed due to the lack of visibility in the media and on the global stage. However, it’s precisely because it is overlooked by many that I believe it is crucial to shine a light on these issues. That’s why I think the Model UNSF conference is a great platform to gain education on what needs to be done to improve the human rights situation for North Koreans.

Hi, I´m Nadja and I’m currently a master’s student at the University of Bonn in Germany in the major “Economy and Society in Asia.” After completing the fall semester 2023 at Sogang University, I decided to gain some practical knowledge in the field of human rights and came to join the PSCORE team in January 2024. I think PSCORE offers the unique opportunity to get a closer insight into North Korean human rights issues and work closely with others interested in the field. One of these examples is the Model UNSF conference which I organized alongside other interns. Projects like these show that North Korean human rights are not only a Korean issue, but a global one and gives insight for possible resolutions and future efforts. For people interested in the general topic of human rights the work at PSCORE is a great insight into this line of work. Besides the Model UNSF conference I am part of the Research Team, which means I read various sources concerning human rights and then am tasked with writing reports about them in regards to North Korea.
