Welcome to the final dose of gossip for this year. 

Smoking is nasty as it is but its worse when you do it at the school bathroom early morning. Haven’t you sobered up from the dance already? Come on girls we can do better than that.

ATTENTION! Injustice in the Criminal Court! Suspension for two delegates despite coming around the same time as the persecutors leading to a moderated caucus being motioned by the judges which almost passed, only if it weren’t for the discretion of the dais. Talk about a bias dais.

 “Should I pack my bags and leave? Is that what you want?” An international delegate felt intentionally excluded at the Nepali Cabinet. Initially, the Chair was infuriated at the negligence of the delegate to the procedures, so revenge maybe?

Beauty is pain and beauty is everything. On the traditional day our fellow press tore her blouse and today delegates are having to pay a visit to the nurse because of their stilts. Of course beauty comes at a price. So, fashion or comfort? 

It has been an absolute pleasure my esteemed delegates. See you next year but keep in mind for I’ll always be watching. ;)

Getting to know the Deputy Secretary Generals

How would you describe your leadership skills?

Abhaya: I like to be on top of everything. At times people don’t like it, it is considered too controlling. Otherwise, yeah I like to be on top of everything.

Aakash: I think I can make executive decisions at whim and that is a very important quality in a leader. I am pretty comfortable with ordering people around. 

What is the thing you like most about MUN? good food, delegates, debate or the delegate dance?

Abhaya:  Well if the debate is really good then that becomes the best part or else the delegate dance.

Aakash: god food, delegate.., definitely the food, the school has amazing food during MUNs

Does MUN so far match all your expectations?

Abhaya: Yeah, it’s been off to a really good start.

Aakash: I didn’t think it would but yes it does, surprisingly because there was not a lot of participation in the practice sessions but the delegates are living it.

What is your biggest fear for the conference?

Abhaya: I think it would be moments of… moments where everybody is so tired that they don’t really speak so that silence, nothing coming on the table. Stagnation. 

Aakash: my biggest fear is not everything run in the way I have planned it in my head because a lot of work has gone into preparations.

How would you describe a successful committee?

Abhaya: One that has veryyy fruitful debate which is in a linear manner so that the committee is progressive with its ideas and is reaching its end goal. Ideas converging into one. And of course a good resolution.

What makes this MUN different? What’s new?

Abhaya: Well firstly, it’s the second MUN in one year but I think what really makes it special is the kind of committees we have this year and the kinds of topics we are discussing. There is the ICC, FIFA and the India and Nepal cabinet; MUN this year is less conservative with more ideas and a wider range of topics. 

Aakash: For one, there are chocolates instead of roses, everyone likes them. There are two Deputy Secretary Generals, it’s the first time and there are more committees the ICC, FIFA, I guess that’s it.

Any tips for first timers?

Aakash: Don’t be scared, be confident and work hard.

If you’re a delegate, you know the pressure of lobbying, especially if you're representing a P5 country and allies are more powerful than veto power. Lobbying is really important in order to pass a resolution and avoid any idle debates that lead to a disorderly committee. Make sure that even if you’re not the one sponsoring the resolution, you choose to be signatories for resolutions according to your country’s stance. If your side of the resolution isn’t getting enough votes, you must be able to lobby with delegates from the opposing bloc and persuade them to vote for your resolution. 

If you’re the one submitting the resolution then make sure your resolution is based on an unanimous decision and is coherent enough for the ally countries to comprehend and agree with. Resolution writers should provide concrete evidence on how their solutions are more effective so as to lure more supporters. In addition, you should also merge resolutions for a wider range of perspectives and solutions. Do not be obstinate about writing all the resolutions by yourself. Let’s be honest delegates, that’s helping no one. Also, be polite and courteous. A good verbose helps a lot more than aggressive lobbying.

                                 

Lastly, if words fail, use physical means (by that we don't mean use fists). Chocolates are a pretty good choice because frankly speaking everybody love chocolates.
