As the conference begins, the committees were in lobbying and merging sessions. Every group was representing its clauses and finding solutions so that each one could write the perfect resolution for the topics. Each country has its own point of view on the problem; however, there are allies that sit together and discuss their ideas, turn them into clauses, and create a resolution that pleases all countries that are co-submitting. Committees were lobbying and merging about their council’s two topics. Security council, French and English committees were both finding solutions to “the conflict of the South China Sea and the problem of Afghanistan.” As for the council of Human Rights, French and English, they were both discussing “The role of security infrastructure in countering terrorism and protecting human rights and measures to reinforce the rights of the workers during infrastructure constructions.” The delegates in the General Assembly were finding solutions to the following topics.

And if these  things did not happen, Chad would have not been what it is now”.  Senegal replied  “you have no proof or evidence that Habre actually committed these crimes. These crimes were not illegal during his period of ruling, and they were outside Senegalese territories.”     Senegal also said that this law was not illegal during Habre’s ruling period (ex: post  facto) so the former president should not be considered guilty.
