GET REAL WITH DELEGATES – INTERVIEW ARTICLE

Delegates post interview

During the lunch break, a few delegates of the DISEC committee were interviewed and here are their responses: -
Þ   When the delegate of Vietnam was questioned why did she find the session interesting, she replied, “the session was challenging, interesting, engaging as the many interesting topics brought under motion and the chair was quite fair and gave equal opportunities of all delegates and the policies were quite challenging “. She was then asked if she had any objections against other delegates and she just said “I cannot do anything if the other delegates come more well prepared than me so, I guess they deserve more chances than me “she also stated she wishes to form allies with Russia, Israel and China by the end of this conference.
Þ   It was then followed by the delegate of Qatar who found the session fun, tricky and a little scary as she was a first timer and also confessed she is still very nervous. She also said that she wished the Chair gave her more chances but has no objection against other delegates. she also mentions that she just wants a little more chance and wants to solve the cyber crime problems by forming allies with strong countries like China, USA and Russia.
Þ   We then asked the delegate of Taiwan her views and she simply replied – “It was pretty competitive as delegates of various countries are present here and the discussions were bizarre and provided me with loads of facts I never knew! “when asked about her plans on allies, she simply stated she has no idea. Also, she mentions that the experience so far is above her expectations and is excited for the next session.
Þ   When the delegate of Sudan was interviewed, she mentioned that it was fascinating, amazing and also wanted the topics to be a little easier as she found the topics a little complex. She also says that – “solving problems like cyber terrorism is really interesting, I believe that it inspires many people like me to stand up against such critical topics. “She also finds the sessions pretty productive and the chair and vice chair seem very nice to her. She is also amazed by the facts and the effort put in by everyone.”
Þ   The delegate of the Philippines said that the- “The sessions were very interesting, I have learnt a lot of new facts, even of some topics which I did not know even existed ! I learn more and more after every session, which makes it really interesting and the motions enforced are very relevant to the agenda and are clearly required. “ She also mentions that not everyone was recognised and nobody was treated partially . She also is not very sure in forming allies with other delegates , but is really looking forward for the next session and is really eager to find an end to cyber terrorism.
It can be thus concluded that, the delegates seem to enjoy these sessions and have great interest to know more. They only want a little more attention and have agreed to the fact that they hadn’t prepared that well… But on the brighter side they would like to make new allies with the hope to make the world a better place to live and find the ultimate end to cybercrime. they also mention that the topics covered so far were quite fascinating, challenging, tricky, logical and really practical.  They enjoy the debates and look forward to further sessions of the Model United Nations and are pretty sure of participating in future sessions too !!!!!

(editorial 2)                        Pros about keeping a gun August 30, 2018                     - by Shreya LN and Yamini R V Mohite First of all, in Qatar, possession of a firearm without a licence is punishable by a jail sentence of up to fourteen years. In committee, the pros and cons of civilians owning guns was being spoken about and the delegate of Afghanistan had quite a lot to say. In Afghanistan, firearms are provided to the civilians, or bought by the civilians with a license. The delegate of Afghanistan strongly stated that ‘most’ of the citizens use these guns for self-defence. It is very much possible that the civilians themselves may become non state actors by the influence of these firearms. But, this would not really happen if the background of the person the firearm or the licence for the firearm is being sold to is first checked and only then the licen...

The two Superpowers, China and the United States of America made two separate blocs. These blocs made two working papers as a draft to make a resolution. These two blocs were the only two blocs in the DISEC general assembly. The working paper of the bloc headed by the delegate of the United States of America was sponsored by the delegate of South Korea, the delegate of Germany, the delegate of the United Kingdom and the delegate of France. The working paper of the delegate of China was sponsored by the delegate of Russia, delegate of Iraq, delegate of Iran, delegate of Nepal and delegate of DPRK. The working paper of the delegate of China stated the need for an international organization like the ITU to help curb Cyber-warfare. The delegate of USA stated that that the UN Security Council can make a sub-body who's members would be elected by the general assembly and would create an international cyber-code. This will enable cyber-criminals to be caught. The bloc led by the delegate...

United States; Divided Thoughts

It is a widely acknowledged fact that the United States conducts itself in a hypocritical manner, and contradicts itself repeatedly in international forums. The Disarmament and International Security Council proved to be no different, and the press conference revealed the double standards the government has for its citizens. The United States has conducted itself in an entirely unfit manner, but somehow, it remains unsurprising. When asked informally, the delegate of the US said that she would refuse to answer any questions in the press conference, so it came as a surprise when she spoke on gun control regulations within the US. The delegate stated that the American government believes that the ownership of guns gives its citizens much needed peace of mind, and protection. When a member of the press quoted the horrifying statistics of gun violence in only 2018 within the US- Total number of incidents being 38,451; number of deaths being 9,650; number of children below the age of ...
