Committee Blogs

Hi everyone! It is less than a week until I get to meet you all! This will be my last blog post (so sad!), and I hope that you have found them useful for research and preparation purposes.

Hi delegates,

So, we're 5 days from the first day of NHSMUN 2012! It's amazing, isn't it?
I hope that you all feel like you're on top of these topics, and ready for debate.
If not, you have 5 days to cram your brains with as much information as you possibly can!

To help...

Hello delegates =)

This will likely be the last blog on the black market in human organs until we meet! Here are some final considerations:

Kosovo --
Perhaps expanding the mandate of our committee, think abou the human rights implications of human organ trafficking
...

Good Evening Delegates!

I know the EcoFin blog has been very Eurocentric, however, I think it is important that we, as a committee, keep up with this debt crisis that is plaguing a large part of the world.

Here's a great link to visit daily to track the debt crisis:...

What up delegates?!?

Greetings Delegates!

Another update on Greece (seems to be what EVERY news station is talking about).

The S&P (Standard and Poor's) considers Greece's debt situation (after it's new bonds were issued) as a selective default. Find out more at the link posted below.

Hey Guys!

With a little more than a week before conference you should all be getting super excited for NHSMUN 2012. Beyond that, it is important to keep up with the news, especially the developments on agricultural subsidies. External debt management has been at the forefront of the...

Hi everyone! I hope you are all as excited as I am for the conference next week! I simply CANNOT WAIT to see you all!

Hi delegates! We're only a few DAYS away from NHSMUN now!

Keep an eye out for a report to be released by UNICEF: http://www....

Hi Justices!!

I can't believe how close to the conference we are! I'm going to shy away from presenting hard law and treaty in this entry, and instead, present you with an interview that was conducted with Romeo Dallaire, the Force Commander for UNAMIR.

Here is the link:...

Greetings delegates,

Firstly, I want to tell you that I am so thrilled to meet everyone of you in just over a week from now!! I really cannot wait to see what you have to say in committee and create fascinating solutions to the topic(s) we will be discussing as SOCHUM 2012.

...

Hi everyone!

As we approach the conference, I'd like all of you to take a moment, step back, and analyze both of our issues from a bird's eye view. What are the greater implications of each topic? While it's important to know the details and have examples of regional problems, keep in...

Hey everyone!

I can't believe that NHSMUN is in a week and a half! Remember that if you have any last minute questions, feel free to email me! In the meantime, here is a brief yet useful explanation of SOPA and PIPA. The article talks a bit about both sides of the argument, which I think...

Hello delegates,

We hope you're super excited to be in New York in just a little over a week! There are so many current events of which we must stay informed -- the Council definitely will be a dynamic, thought-provoking committee at NHSMUN 2012!

Dearest Delegates,

Only two weeks until conference! Hope you all are as excited as I am! After reflecting on the complexity of the topics, especially in terms of economics, I thought it would be best to compose a glossary with terms that have probably come up in your research, many...

Delegates of CCPCJ! What’s up?

My name is Sean Gilrain and I will be your AD for NHSMUN 2012! I am extremely excited for the conference and looking forward to meeting all of you! I hope that all of your research and preparation is going well and that all of you will have plenty of awesome...

Hi everyone! In two weeks from right now, we will be in committee debating one of the two topics! How crazy is that?! I hope y'all are as excited as I am!

Dear Delegates!

Only a few weeks until conference! Hopefully all your papers are done/nearing completion. A few updates since we last blogged:

Hi Delegates! Only a few more days until the conference!

Here's an interesting op-ed on the potential benefits and flaws with the idea of legalizing a human organ market.
...

Hi delegates,

The conference is fast approaching and your position papers have already been turned in, but I wanted to share an interesting and relevant article with you guys about corruption in South Africa and how it has affected the nation's economy. In 2001 Transparency international...

Today I wanted to post something about the media's effects on body image. The first clip criticizes the industry for creating an unrealistic perception of the ideal woman and shows the impact it can have on a woman's body image:...

Hi everyone!

[the before]
I came across this article which reminded me of similar programs that many high schools sponsor. It talks about a panelist of reformed gang members and their life decisions. Do you think this is an effective strategy to prevent at-risk youth from making...

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-...

Hi Guys!

Since we are EcoFin, it may help you to watch the following videos to understand a few schools of economic thought and understand the different approaches to these issues. You'll see that these theories really do affect what is done in response to the issues we will be grappling...
