Dr. Duguma, in his address , praised the delegates for deliberating on burning issues facing the World today and urged them to join hands as „creators of tomorrow‟. The chairs synthesized the major achievement of their Committees. The UN anthem with members holding lighted candles corroborated the fact that the simulation of the UNO was an apt complement to education with a global perspective. 1 2 Secretary General speaks… N IMUN 4 aims to provide a platform for deliberations on matters of relevance for the sovereignty of governments as well as security on all fronts, the sustainable growth & development of economies for the prosperity nation states. This would enhance the global need to create an ethos of accord and collaboration underpinned by mutual trust & empathy, to establish sound international understanding, particularly where opinions differ. This era is one of tremendous responsibilities and equally one of opportunities for individuals to make a meaningful contribution to international legislations. Global citizenship is the crux of education around the world today, making the principles of the UN more relevant and the need to incorporate the internationalmindedness in our lives more important, than ever before. History‟s testimony to youth turning the tide of affairs, increasingly, young people are saying to their elders, to their governments; “this is not the world we want.” 2 Dep. Sec. General speaks… A t NIMUN, we value the contribution of every delegate to committee proceedings, but also recognize the need to commend delegates that display exemplary engagement. Three awards have been instated in appreciation of such contribution – an award for the Best Delegate, Best Position Paper and the Chair‟s Commendation. The winning delegation will be declared during the closing ceremony. We hope you use this platform to get an insight into the complexities of international affairs as well as to take home souvenirs of friendships. On behalf of the NIMUN secretariat, I wish all the delegates all the very best. We look forward to working with you. 2 3 Tidbits... SPECPOL The chair of SPECPOL pulled out all the stops to enliven the session. Gone was the apathy initially evident in their passive attitude as committee sessions gained vigour ! UNICEF Russia raised a motion but failed to receive any support. The delegate of Russia was debarred from UNICEF for threatening Togo . UNSC Pakistan irks the chair of UNSC with persistent, irrelevant points. The plenary session of the first day of NIMUN culminated in a sumptuous, taste bud tickling dinner for the delegates. Later, the glitzy ball saw the delegates let their senses respond to the pulsating music and set the dance floor on fire ! DISEC The chair of DISEC said that public speaking was an interesting aspect of NIMUN. He further added that the global crisis made the committee sessions more interesting and dynamic. He looked forward to gaining leadership skills, confidence and friendship from NIMUN. He concluded that the NIMUN would help him realize the important issues related to humanity. The few cheeky delegates were successfully brought around to mind their „P‟s‟ and „Q‟s‟ ! UNW At the UNW, the delegates raised 8 motions. heated deliberation ensued after which there was a consensus for 4 motions while the remaining 4 were vetoed. Of them 4 motions passed successfully three were muted by the delegates of Costa Rica and 1 by the delegate from India. 3 3 4 ECOFIN Chair : Angel Chandwani Co Chair: Hari Krushna Brahmabhatt The committee debated on “the use of economic sanctions as a means of political coercion” leading to 2 distinct factions. The first draft resolution entitled “Bye Bye Uncle Sam” supported by Iran, Canada and several other countries , ousted the USA from its group owing to the economic sanctions imposed on them by the USA. The United States, Ukraine, and China in turn, allied to form a second draft resolution titled „Iron Hulk‟ delineating methods of economic sanctions. The power struggles continues. 4 DISEC Chair : Himanshu Dave Co Chair: Devyani Dinesh The Chair of the HSC and the delegate of the USA accused all countries of assassinating President Obama, and planned to launch a full scale investigation. Russia, the main suspect, was furious at the allegations and demanded evidence. Heated arguments between all countries ensued, and due to the lack of justifiable evidence, the US was not able to substantiate their claims. 4 5 UNICEF Chair : Tejeshwar Gill Co Chair: Nijal Modi An unmoderated caucus was initiated to discuss the issue of child abuse, its possible causes and preventive measures to combat it. A crisis was sparked off when a delegate alleged Russian involvement in the horrific rape of three teenagers within the precincts of the Russian Embassy in Costa Rica. Several countries endorsed this view. An enraged Russia demanded a special investigation into the case, backed by Togo. Costa Rica opposed this move vehemently. 5 NIMUN has gone from strength to strength, it is heartening to see the sophistication with which the present Secretariat carried out the proceedings of the opening ceremony. It fills us with pride to see them take over from us with such aplomb, and we wish them all the very best for NIMUN 4 from Ex Secretary General Faizan Siddiquie, and Core Team Member Nandish Patel. 5 6 Best Delegates...
