ISIS CRISIS (ARAB LEAGUE) - Alexa, Saurav

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. 

#Sankat (Nepali Cabinet) - Sivali, Nikita

Yet another day as the press in the Nepal cabinet and the committee gets even better with their enthusiasm level. The committee encountered several unmoderated caucuses in the first half discussing the work permits of Indians and Nepalese in their respective neighboring nations. When the cabinet stated the wrongfulness of Indians needing work permits to work in Nepal whereas Nepalis not requiring so in India, the chair made a statement as to correct this opinion. He claimed his behalf when he explained how this in all terms is unfair to India and not Nepal. The chair to the rescue as always proposed suggestions to enlighten the confused delegates. 
The committee was lively and energetic all throughout and very well opinionated as well. They participated contributing to proper committee operation. As the session progressed, India was blamed for breaching the article two of the Nepal Indian treaty of friendship where India had declared war with Pakistan without Nepal’s permission. The Indian Ambassador defended India and its acts stating that India has no fault. After the continuous accusations between the two blocs, the Population and Environment Minister suggested that these misunderstandings need to be defined between them. As the discussion for the amendments advanced, it was pointed out by the Foreign Affairs Minister that the treaty went against the foreign policy of Nepal which was further detailed by the chair. When the two cabinets exchanged words regarding this article, voting was held on the definition of sovereignty given by the Indian Ambassador. 
The chair almost having left the room returned to remind the delegates that they were still “in formal session” when the cabinet started fooling around. Crisis greeted the committee where a Nepali farmers protested as Susta (Nepal’s land) was illegally captivated by Indian farmers. Group of 50 Nepali farmers initiated a turmoil against this move of India. In-between the intense atmosphere, the Minister of Supplies hastily inquired “How do you know the farmers are Nepali?” Followed by updates the situation intensified and various moderated caucuses decided that the farmer who had been held at gunpoint was innocent and should be set free. As the ministers talked through this they decided that the cabinet should merge with the Indian Cabinet to come up with a consent and solve this. The chair confirmed that he’d make everyone speak as he pointed out at the two silent ministers by stating “Please say something, ministers who haven’t spoken today, or ever.”

LIVING LIFE ON THE EDGE (India Cabinet) - Sunaj, Irtika, Batshala

The committee started with an unmoderated caucus. All delegates were well researched and ready to discourse their level best. As the first resolution was already passed the delegates were eagerly participating to pass the second resolution as well. The first topic (drafting of a border and extradition treat) was well connected with the second one (Revising the 1950 Treaty of peace and friendship) and therefore the delegates felt a sense of confidence as they were prepared for the topic beforehand. A hot debate on whether holding a referendum would be a good idea or not arose among the delegates on the dispute of the Kalapani. Half the delegates proposed a referendum for the preservation of rights of the Nepalese while the other half of the committee was completely against it.  Eventually everyone agreed for the referendum.
The committee was able to come up with solution where the idea of the semi-permeable border was proposed to prevent border disputes between Nepal and India. Both the countries also agreed to update one mandate of the existing joint border commission to include the security of the border regions through common checkpoints. The committee also decided that the immigrants will require documents of authorizations issued by respective gouts to enter the countries. The trade of arms and ammunitions or war like materials was decided not to be disclosed in the purchased order but instead will be passed through one transit point. 

So, will the resolution pass? Will the propositions be carried out in an effective manner? Will the borders be secure enough? 

#MUNDIRT



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. ;) 

Ciao my loves, 
So long. 

Russian to Conclusions (SPECPOL) - Shlesha, Shukirti

The debates began like it always did. The session was much more lively with the best speakers of the committee constantly pressurizing different countries if the country. The delegates discussed about their previous topic which was “Addressing the situation of occupied territories in Azerbaijan." An interesting topic for the moderated caucus was acceptance of foreign aid regarding the arms and ammunition many of the countries representatives were against the idea of providing arms and ammunition to the peace keeping forces deployed in various conflicted area. The delegates of Poland, UAE, UK and Russia along with USA provided various logical reasons for their stance in this particular topic. Russia and USA were both in alliance and were trying to resolve the conflicts by providing a fair chance to all the countries. However, the delegate of Iran effectively pointed out that not providing arms and ammunition also implied that that the two countries in alliance had abundant arms and ammunition themselves.  The topic itself was to minimize the use of such weapons.  The opposing delegates also pointed out that this in fact could be a spark for any sort of future conflicts or disagreements.
In the middle of a discussion on the topic, the Deputy Secretary General brought the crisis into the committee. Russia had been talking about being a neutral country at the present crisis. However, the crisis said otherwise. The crisis suspected Russia to be held responsible for the launch of a missile on the village in Nagarno, Karbakh area. There were no casualties and the situation was very volatile. Many countries demanded Russia to make a statement regarding this crisis while suggesting measures on resolving these problems. In the beginning,the delegates suggested that the blame be given to countries like Russia and Armenia. Russia replied with much confidence, denied all accusations and commented that Russia would not be held accountable of any accusations. Furthermore, the delegate also mentioned that Russia had a good relationship with Azerbaijan and thus would not have any reason to attack it in any way.
 Though countries like Greece provided notable points regarding the crisis, all the tables turned in the second update. Rebel groups of Armenia who had no relations with the Armenian government were held responsible for the missile launch. This was a huge relief to the delegate of Russia as all her statements regarding the crisis turned out to be right.

Later on, the delegate of Poland was suspended from the committee for “two seconds” but the promising delegate made up quite well for his short suspension.  After a lot of heated debate, the first topic was finally ended when a resolution was drafted. Armenia agreed to give back all the territories that had been captured. Moreover, Armenia is going to return all forces as well as taking back the illegal residents. Lastly, the committee decided to provide humanitarian aid to the people and for the reconstruction of the occupied territories.

Motions of Entertainment in MUN - Sangya



Motions for entertainment are the most requested thing throughout the MUN sessions. Whether it be the practice sessions or the main three days, entertainment is asked for at 
least once a day. 

There is a wide range of requests when this motion is raised. Undoubtedly, the first one will either be requesting someone to sing or dance. After the chair dances with someone, or one of the reluctant delegates finally lets loose, people come up with the most ridiculous suggestions.

The committe will probably take a chaotic turn when somebody shouts," Make someone twerk!"
But it doesnt stop there. The delegates want the chair to entertain the committee rather than standing up and doing something themselves. Nevertheless, committees usually have a good time despite wasting much of it deciding on what to do.

The SC, for example, went crazy with a group of guys dancing and hyping the entire committee. The ICC utilized their mic in the auditorium and had a full blown performance from an international delegate as well as our photographer. Likewise, the Nepal Cabinet had a delight when one delegate stood up to recite all the pick up lines he knew. 

However, motions for entertainment have to be cut short due to time constraints. After groans and complaints either the delegates give up or the dais gives in. Motion for entertainment is definitely the most fun part of the committee.

Interview with the Deputy Secretary Generals

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. 

SC PULLED IN ALL DIRECTIONS - Suyasha, Arshia


Placards in the air, points of orders one after the other and countries being attacked with questions and accusations – this was how you could describe the Security Council today. But despite all the accusations and questions and confusions, the countries, being true members of the United Nations, found common ground and were just about to pass a resolution stating that table talks would be held between China and its neighbouring countries when a crisis struck the committee like a thunderbolt.
A reliable source stated that secret meetings were being held between China and Japan on this topic but poisonous gas was released and various officials died. This led to another round of speculations, accusations and dilemmas. People stood on tables during the unmoderated caucuses and lobbying was at its best – showing that the people chosen for this committee were chosen for the right reason. Yet again, the committee was faced by a dreadful news that shook the committee into action – Houthi officials were said to have killed 83 people. 
However, the Houthi troops crossed lines and kidnapped the chair of the Security Council! This was true and pure blackmail to change the agenda of the committee to the crisis regarding the Houthi regime. Iran and Russia were shot down for their support of the Houthi Regime, countries were doubted upon as France was said to be supplying ammunition and money to the Houthis as a trap and the delegates cried out in shock when they found out that France’s trap had backfired.
To lower the intensity, motions for entertainment were raised but did this help to cool down the heated environment? Will the committee be able to stop this major crisis or will UN fail in saving so many lives just like in the Rwandan genocide? 
These questions were soon answered and various countries ran faster in the race to Best Delegate by becoming sponsors to a resolution to form a new UN body of UNMIY (United Nations Mission in Yemen). And good news soon followed when the resolution passed with full majority! 

To celebrate, delegates got into the mood of the delegate dance by twerking, showing off moves, showing off moves, screaming on top of their lungs, almost breaking the guitar and having a fun time - proving that the Security Council is not all work and no play.

Molotov Cocktails in HRC - Suyog, Angelina

With limited time to resolve the point at issue, the delegates of HRC had wired faces early in the morning. At the lack of fruitful moderated caucuses in the committee, the dais members appeared anxious about whether the resolution would be drafted in time or not. For the first moderated caucus, “Controlling migration in host and the suffering countries” the delegates spoke about how the flow of migrants in nations with teeming population could be controlled so as to bring down the adverse effects they give birth to in host nations.
 The delegates of Kenya and France had a heated debate with point of orders being raised every so often. However, the statement made by the delegate of Kenya was proven incorrect by the dais and this raised heaps of misperception. With a suggestion from the delegates that Iraq should try to control its citizens rather than taking in innumerable migrants, the time of the moderated caucus elapsed.  
Before writing the resolution, the dais urged the delegates to deliberate the moderated caucus, “EU nations should provide funds”. The delegates discoursed on how Qatar has not been taking in any refugees and so should provide funds to the suffering nations to make up for its lack of support. The committee then proceeded in drafting one unanimous resolution for the topic that was automatically passed as well.
 Without getting an opportunity to discuss the second topic, the committee faced a crisis. A bomb blast in Jordan had taken place, injuring 60 people and killing 9. The committee blamed the Syrian government for the crime as the suicide bombers were reported to have yelled "all hail Assad" before the bombings.  Similar bombings in a church in Texas and Crawley were included in the crisis. People were blaming the refugees and civilians in Athens, Brussels, Manchester and Copenhagen as well. Not only were the civilians injured and dead in the blasts, 800 casualties of refugees with 30 deaths was also reported. 
The committee prioritized providing aid to the injured and finding out who conducted the bombings. USA shut its borders and France decided to provide a certain sector of its land to the refugees. The two representatives of the Assad regime then entered the committee leaving all aghast, and demanded the head of states to publicly apologize to the regime, send SA-5 Gammons, SA-6 Gainful and take their side in the war, whilst allowing the Syrian refugees to return back to Syria. Failure to meet their demands would result in more bombings, they declared 
With an update, the committee found out that the situation had gotten worse as Italy was targeted by a Molotov cocktail. The refugees, who managed to survive the attack, did not have a place to live in as the Swedish refugees were kicked out. Through the alliance of countries including Germany, Austria, Saudi Arabia, Argentina and Brazil, the committee found out that the bombings were based in Iraq. 
The committee, with its tense aura, then decided to declare an unmoderated caucus so as to discuss and solve the crisis at hand. Allied nations assembled together in hope to find the most philanthropic way out of the catastrophe, one that would ensure human rights to every citizen involved.

Red Card for FIFA Officials - Shrastha, Suravi

The second day in FIFA started once formal as well as informal pictures were taken. The delegates then started to work on solutions for the reforms in the system and successfully passed two resolutions where points like cross checking of transparency in FIFA by FIFA ethics committee, separation of power between chief executive and chair etc were included. Though the dais did not seem too happy with the  participation, they were surely excited for the mannequin challenge as well as the delegate dance especially the chair who assigned the position to the delegates. 

The second agenda of the day “Hosting of World Cup 2022” was set and the committee was hit with a crisis, which uplifted the committee’s level of debate. We all are well aware of Qatar hosting the World Cup 2022 and the delegates of FIFA are dealing with a crisis where the labourers are whipped and physically harmed. The constant shocking updates have frustrated some of the delegates and have left others confused.  The fact that the European countries bribed FIFA ethic committee took the debate in another direction. It is quite amusing to see the delegates flipping through their files to confirm their stances and also criticizing each other to come to a consensus. The quiet delegates such as USA, Switzerland, England also attacked the involved countries with various questions and a lot of threats.  

The Voice: Battle Between the Judges (ICC) - Sangya



The committee started a new topic today, The Keiffer affair, revolving around Simone Gbagbo and her men who were blamed for abducting and allegedly murdering Guy-Andre Keiffer. Keiffer, a 54 year old French-Canadian Freelance journalist, was one of the few foreign reporters in the conflict-ridden West Africa. He was last seen with Michel Legre who was the brother in law of Simone Gbagbo.
First, the office of the prosecutors started their opening statement by providing evidences which all gradually summed up to the accusation made. Keiffer was last seen with Michel Legre in a supermarket making Legre the main suspect of the case. Furthermore, due to his wide political connections, it had gathered him some enemies that threatened him through blocked numbers. All the suspected murders in this case were the men of Simone Gbagbo.
The debate was neck to neck when the Defense Council came up with a lot of concrete evidences. It was a table turner when the death of Michel Legre was mentioned in the committee. The accusation was now on Simone Gbagbo for having a mere relation with Legre.
Just as the judges were discussing the caucuses, the committee was introduced to a crisis. The crisis was about the arrest Hector Xavier Mosegur, the founder of Lulzec a hacking group associated with Anonymous). The hacking group, Anonymous, was accused of temporarily hacking the Russian government’s system. Many delegates failed to comprehend the crisis at first and many questions were answered by the dais. After all the confusion was cleared the judges moved into deliberation to discuss what would happen to Hector.
After an update about Wikileaks having a top secret information on the Russian government, the committee had to come up with a solution quicker. Anonymous had threatened to permanently cyber attack a country if Hector wasn’t released as soon as possible. The government of Russia was struggling to get back on its foot as the judges had contradicting statements on whether he should be arrested. Some delegates wanted to temporarily arrest Hector, while others wanted to release him to avoid any possible danger to any of the country.
Despite all odds, our determined delegates debated, discussed and came up with a verdict to successfully solve the crisis. The judges decided to arrest Hector and the crisis was over.

THE SHOE GAME OF WOMEN AT RBS MUN IS STRONG - Nissim Gurung and Ayush Regmi


Good shoes take you to good places…



We spend most of  our time to figure out the perfect pair of shoes for different occasions. Casual sneakers, high fashion heels and delegate dance flats have all been seen on the floors of the RBS MUN building through out the MUN and the practice sessions. Though the struggle is real when it comes to wearing Stilettos  during the RBS MUN, the constant clicking sound of the heels on the cooridoors are strangely satisfying. Women who were shorter than the guys in their class feel a certain satisfaction when they gain some height from the heels and become as tall as the guys. 
 
Why do women go through all the pain? Why do they Wear heels and risk falling? They are questions often asked. Well, Christian Louboutin says anything to look good.
Especially on the day of delegate dance, we see the ladies pull off their outfits, wearing heels by day and flats by evening. Flats so that they have maximum mobility to run around, dance and most importantly enjoy  the night.
