With the active participation of the vigorous delegates, the Arab League successfully passed a resolution for the Syrian Civil War with a majority vote. The resolution recommended the formation of The National Unity Government with 250 seats and that encompassed of 50% representation of the Assad, 10% seat of the Kurds and 40% of the opposition.  The committee was able to discuss the refugee crisis and it found a viable solution of ceasefire monitored by the Arab League. The Syrian government proposed on holding an election on 2022. In order to protect the refugees in Syria, talks would be held with UNHCR to improve condition of the displaced people. Furthermore, no representation would be given to the rebel groups. A friendly amendment of the delegate of Yemen that suggested the protection of vehicles containing humanitarian aid was added as the operative clause. Thus, the committee decided on resolving the issue by internalizing the situation in Syria.
A crisis heated the situation in the room as ISIS took over at Palmyra and killed 125 while they captured 240 refugees. In retaliation, Egypt captured the leader of ISIS. An intense debate took place while each and every delegate tried to resolve the turmoil.

BREXIT? WHAT'S NEXT? NEXIT? (WTO) - Shrijay

The passion to solve the problems regarding BREXIT continued in the WTO committee. From the very first motion of the session delegates were engaged in discussing about the effects of UK’s demands in the moderated caucus. As the debates progressed, a second moderated caucus was issued to continue the discussion on the first topic. The dais was irritated a couple of times by the unnecessary point of orders raised by the delegates, but they kept their calm.                          
After a few hours the delegated raised an un-moderated caucus to write the working paper. Delegates debated regarding the two working papers presented in the committee. Arguments presented were highly acknowledged with subtle banging on the table. Delegates of Spain, USA, UK, Netherlands and Scotland stood out with impressive debating skills. The dais continued to urge delegates who weren’t active to present their stances. Delegates new to the procedure were speaking with much confidence after spending a day in the RBS MUN. 

The delegates of the committee were having their three-for and three- against debate on the working paper when they were suddenly interrupted by the crisis .The crisis saw Netherland also having plans to leave the EU following the footsteps of the UK. This caused pressure on the delegate of Netherlands but she did not hesitate and was fast to react to the crisis by giving a speech. The updates on the crisis saw USA and India having crashed stock markets which affected the global economy. With every new set of suggestions that the delegates presented came new crisis updates which shook the committee. However, the committee was enthusiastic to come up with a decent solution to the economic crisis caused by the possible chances of NEXIT. Tension filled the atmosphere as the delegates debated throughout the second day of MUN.  

ALL LIVES MATTER (AFRICAN UNION) - Utsav, Rojja

The committee was a quite active one on the second day with more delegates involved in the debate and they showed signs of deeper involvement in the debate by actually negotiating to find common ground. The committee came up with a resolution which was very detailed and was passed. After a successful resolution on the Boko Haram, the committee started discussing its second topic which is developing a Single Market in Africa. The general speaker’s list was active when the committee was hit by a crisis based on Boko Haram. The terrorist organization had taken over most of Nigeria. The committee participated in a discussion for the crisis in a moderated caucus with the delegate of South Sudan constantly reminding us of his value for ‘every single life’. 
A rather ‘smashing’ update was brought into the committee by members of the Boko Haram who slammed the door open, leaving it damaged and took away the committee’s vice chair who also seemed damaged when he came back. The Boko Haram representatives announced their conditions to the committee in a formidable way. The delegate of Libya was suspended for laughing at this grave time and not to be biased, but it was deserved. The committee actively discussed the crisis and the update and we hope they can save the lives of the millions of hostages who are at stake.

SWISS PROBLEM (UNES) - Krithartha, Ojashwi

On the second day, the committee passed their first resolution. Doing this, the first topic collapsed and the second topic began, which was “sustainable consumption and production for energy security along with combating climate change.” As soon as the general speakers list began, an alarming crisis arrived. It was related to an escape of radioactive material in India. Delegates began to be more active and enthusiastic in greater numbers. Delegates of Congo, Switzerland, India, Rwanda, Russia, Us, China were actively participating to solve the problem at hand. At some instances, the delegates had started making assumptions about the situation of the crisis, however, the delegates came back on track after the proceeding crises. Proposals of evacuations, immediate help and so on were included in the solutions for the crisis. When the crisis accused the Swiss bank for being involved in this problem, there was a huge havoc in the committee as Switzerland had been repeatedly accused of conspiracies related to the bank. Having the crisis not fully resolved, the committee must wait until the third day to conclude the crisis.
