Last weekend, I attended my very first Model United Nations conference, and as you probably guessed, MUN is a way for students to debate and resolve United Nation’s topics. I entered the conference with an opening speech where I was shaken to the tips of my fingers the entire time I spoke, and ended the conference with over 40 speeches and points of information (POI). I was a delegate in the General Assembly (GA) committee which debated 4 issues, each resolution called for two resolutions to be submitted. I main submitted a resolution under the Prohibition of Antipersonnel Mines. At the end of each debating session the house votes for or against the resolution, in our case most of the delegates voted for the establishment of the resolution so we passed! To sum up the entire conference in three words, I would say it was fun, invigorating, and exciting! I enjoyed myself so much and found something that I could really excel in! In the ending ceremony, there was one delegate in each committee (GA, Disarmament, Human rights, Advisory Panel, Security Council and Ecosoc) that was awarded the “Most Eloquent Speaker.” Jessie, my best friend Lara, and I won three of the six awards!
Our school’s Student News Club aired a broadcast about this conference… you can watch it below 🙂
