UN resolutions at Rotaract MUN 2013

BAIA MARE, Romania - Aug. 28, 2013 - PRLog -- Rotaract Global Model United Nations (http://youtu.be/WTmCutBWD6I)

I will briefly reiterate the main topics on which each council has to work during theRotaractMUN (http://www.baiamareteam2013.rotaractmun.org/) 2013:


The Security Council deals with the situation under development in the Arab Republic of Syria.

During the first day of debates, delegates have tried to identify as many solutions to the problem as possible. While China and Russia were pushing for the continuation of the diplomatic approach, the United States and UK explained that all diplomatic channels have been exhausted and that the need for an armed intervention is imminent.

Thus commenced the second day of debates and delegates of all States present in the Security Council are trying to reach common grounds in order to be able to start drafting the Security Councils’ resolution regarding the Syrian problem. Once more, the delegates of China and the Russian Federation try to explain to all other delegates present that there is no need for armed intervention and both countries are trying to come up with a solution that will solve the problem peacefully. There is actually a work in progress on this issue.

During the second day of debates, the Peacebuilding Committee (http://www.baiamareteam2013.rotaractmun.org/peacebuilding...) has been drafting and negotiating upon the key clauses of its resolution concerning the situation in the Central African Republic.

I had the honor of speaking to Ms. Belce Dogru, co-chairperson of the committee, who was extremely excited about the way this committee has started to work in the second day: “the delegates are very enthusiastic, they have improved a lot since the first day; they started heating up the debates, which is only a good thing.” Ms. Dogru added that “while discussing the operational clauses that have to be kept in the resolution, delegates have started to make alliances. It is very interesting to watch how members of these alliances support each others’ point of view and try to make sure they implement their amendments.


While discussing the rights of indigenous people in the decision making process, theHuman Rights Council (http://www.baiamareteam2013.rotaractmun.org/human-rights-...) has discussed the first topic on the agenda, regarding the mechanisms that need to be implemented in developing countries regarding the issue. This Council also deals with involving the indigenous populations in the problems of climate change in their respective countries, and, as the honorable chiarperson Aanuoluwapo Afolabi has explained, the delegates are trying to find solutions to raising awareness among indigenous populations regarding the importance and graveness of climate change.

Mr. Afolabi also explained that while many delegates are at their first MUN experience (http://www.baiamareteam2013.rotaractmun.org/rotaract-amba...), he is very happy to see the level of involvement in the proceedings. He also said “I love here in Baia Mare and Romania, the experience has been great until now!”.
