Conference:

Bonjour my CRC experts!

I hope you are enjoying your President's Day! I hear it's also Family Day in Canada :)

If you are used to the style of GA MAINS or other UNGAS committees, where you are usually assigned a country - here is a sneak-peek of how we will probably run our 18-person committee of experts: In committee we will go by last names!

Two links for your research pleasure:

CRC - Reactions from Youth to New Smoking Bans in NYC

Conference: 
NHSMUN 2012

Hello delegates! Welcome to the CRC blog! Thanks for checking us out. We will be updating at least once a week on interesting multimedia and other Internet sources that will help you on your position paper research.

This 1 minute clip shows mixed reactions from youth on the new tobacco laws on smoking in parks in New York City.

One interesting thing I noticed were two opposing comments about air and public spaces.
A student in favor of the ban said "Everyone will be free to breathe clean air," while an opposer said, "It's an infringement on our rights. This is open air."

Freegypt! A DAY WHICH WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY!! (and 3 days until position papers are due!) (Post 13)

NHSMUN Committee

February 11th, 2011 - Today, Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak has resigned and handed over power to the Supreme Council for the Armed Forces. Although what the future holds for this country is unclear, I have to say that I am truly inspired by what people are capable of. People do have the power to make great changes (good or bad).

On other news, there's a big deadline next week - position papers are due! Whooooo! I'm so excited to read the fruits of all of your research.

While you are conducting research for your country's position papers, you will probably be drowning in a sea of news articles, UN resolutions and publications, national data reports, etc. Soon, all of the dates and statistics (huge amounts of money, people!) and foreign-sounding regions blur across the page, and it can become hard to realize that these two issues are indeed, very real, and are a huge part of people's lives across the world, and even right next to us.

Happy New Year!!! (Post 7)
