by Zeina | Nov 9, 2016 | Uncategorized

When we entered the committee, we saw the delegates debating and discussing their different points of view. They were talking about different topics and everyone was expressing his or her point of view either with or against the debate. First of all, they were talking about the first topic which was highly recommending all emerging countries to eliminate taxes on all scientific materials that are being imported from other countries in order to encourage people to do more research and experiments. There were lots of views: for example the delegate of Japan was against this resolution because this could cause some economic problems in the countries that import scientific materials. But in the other hand, the delegate of the United States of America was with this resolution because he thinks that it is important to help emerging countries by eliminating their taxes. Second of all, they were talking about the second debate which consisted on encouraging the state of Japan to provide the new technologies discovered in order to face natural disasters, such as beds that withstand earthquakes. Most of the delegates agreed on this debate because it is important to provide new technologies in the world especially in emerging countries so that they develop and turn from an emerging country to an developed one. And finally the last thing that they did in the committee today was China who said a solution to make emerging countries develop she thought that if they did new schools for math and science in emerging countries they could be a developed country and he also said that we have to eliminate...

Our rights!

The committee (Human rights council) is talking about the role of infrastructure security in the fight against terrorism. Terrorism is the use of violence to pursue political aims. First of all : to install security cameras in airports to prevent terrorism. Cameras are not installed in all airports (in some not in all of them) so citizens could live in safety. Terrorism is a huge problem faced by the entire world. To install cameras in airports and other places like banks, schools… is the first thing anyone should do to prevent terrorism and to have extra security around them. In the first amendment shown by the delegation of China is to remove clause number 3 that talks about the use cameras in banks, school and especially in airports because it simply repeats the same thing as clause number 5, but in the end it didn’t pass. CONCLUSION: Set cameras to secure infrastructures. Secure all infrastructures with security men. Yaseen Hechmat, Sherifa Shaheen and Karma...

There is a problem that many countries suffer from overpopulation. The countries that have overpopulation overuse resources like natural and mechanical resources. A Big country that suffers from the problem of overpopulation is China, it has one billion citizens, and India also suffers from overpopulation, it has 1.21 billion citizens. The delegate of china gave a speech about the problems that china is facing. Some of the other delegates debated and discussed on the problems that the delegate of China said while he was giving his speech. One of the delegates discussed about overpopulation as she said “the problem is not in the earth and its resources but the problem is ours.” Her solution about the overpopulation was distributing people in several countries will reduce the resources that the country uses. She said that moving refugees where there are resources and development will cause over population, so her solution is to move refugees in new a country that has not been developed yet. Yes, it will take time but she doesn’t want to cause over population. What we want is to deliver a message to the world that many countries suffer from over population, we may have not noticed it but it’s true. We want to help the world reduce over population with the solution said in the article. Mariam el rakhawy, Lobna behairy and Omar...

Status of women: Child marriage

by Zeina | Nov 9, 2016 | Uncategorized

Every girl has the right to have a good childhood, get well education, economic and social opportunities. However, when they get married everything changes. People who encourage their daughters to get married early is for economical reasons that someone else will be in charge of her financially or that he believes that a woman’s place is in the kitchen. For example, in Niger, there’s 75% of people are forced to marry someone before the age of 18. In the committee of status of woman they are trying to stop children’s marriage by giving resolutions. Marriage before the age 18 is considered a child marriage. 250 millions girls are forced to be married all around the world. Countries with the law of child marriage, why: It’s the country’s law and no one can change that. It’s one of the important problems of women rights. In these countries, the legal age of marriage of the boys is 18 and of the girls is 15. Countries against the law of child marriage: It affects the women physically and emotionally and it also affects the children, they either die or have some health problems. It’s not good to be married under the age of 18, but after that it’s accepted. Girls might get abused. Forced and define and arrest the people who make their children’s marriage under age. Forced a law to disagree with child marriage. Hana Mito, Sumaya El Hamalawy and Omneya...

General Assembly

Today, in the general assembly, the delegates were presenting their opening speeches about the nuclear energy and overpopulation. The delegation of the United Kingdom submitted a resolution that the United States of America didn’t approve of. The United States of America and the Republic of China didn’t agree with the United Kingdom and said that each family should have the right to give birth to a certain number of children only. The United Kingdom said that if a woman has a good career, she won’t be interested in having children. Australia disagreed on what the United Kingdom stated, the delegate said that a woman could get a nanny to take care of her children while she’s at work, but at the end, the housewife is better than any woman who has a career at raising a child. Having too many children does not affect the country as long as the resources are not wasted or overused. It also depends on whether the people are rich or poor. Poor people use less than 2% of the energy, while the rich use over 50%, middle class people use the other 48%. Mostafa Kandeel, Youssef Ramadan and Farida...

Is it World War III?

by Zeina | Nov 9, 2016 | Uncategorized

The delegates of the countries were arguing, because of the conflict of the South China Sea. In this conflict, a lot of countries were affected including the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and the Philippines. These countries were fighting for their rights in South China Sea, so the United Nations decided to try and solve this problem because it will cause a massive destruction to the marine life and it could result to a third World War. The People’s Republic of China has the majority of the sea, they are building artificial islands to claim that it is their territory, but the other countries disagree. Thus, they are trying to solve it. The only solution to this problem is that they create a code of conduct, and any country will face a punishment if it goes against it. – Aly shoukry, Ahmed Zikry and Salma el...
