The Hague International Model United Nations

The Hague Intl. Model United Nations conference was held on 8th of October 2011.
When we went to the conference last year we were not very well trained or equipped for the session. This year there was a huge improvement. All the students had a resolution prepared for their specific committees.
I was the delegate of Kenya in the Human Rights Council. The topics of discussion were:
1.Promoting the rejection of doctrines based on racial indoctrination and xenophobia
2.Child welfare in areas of armed conflict
My resolution was based on the promoting the rejection of doctrines. My resolution was mainly co-submitted by Thailand and during the lobbying, appreciated and signed by 7 other delegations. Due to technological faults my final resolution with some amendments by the co submitters could not be printed. Then too, the session turned out be very informative and successful as I could understand all the issues brought out by the delegations, thanks to the research done before the conference. The resolutions prepared by other delegates gave me a better way in which I could plan my resolutions for the upcoming conference.
I found that our topics both had something to do with Education. Resolutions which did not talk about education in either of the topics were not considered good by delegations.
During the General Assembly I got to express my opinion by having the chance to speak at the podium about the issue of racial indoctrination and xenophobia. The resolutions prepared for the G.A. were well set-out, termed appropriately, well-researched.

  1. It seems like there is a link here with education for all...

    is education the key to all the problems of the world?
