ESSARP Model United Nations
On June 24th. and 25th. the 6th. EMUN conference at St. Alban’s College came to an end after two days of intensive debating on various topics such as drug trafficking cartels, the media in the context of international security, temporary housing for refugees, international recruitment from terrorist organizations, human trafficking, rights of street children and measures to prevent global malnutrition amongst others.
Our students represented Belgium, Ecuador and Estonia in the General Assembly, the Environment Commission, Human Rights Council, the Special Conference on Global Sharing and ECOSOC. Federico Mysler, Carolina Baglioni Burgos, Franco Panighini, Macarena Paulos Francisco, Pablo Pociecha, Mijal Canizzaro, Pietro Marotta, Camila Kim, Nicole Kohan, from S4, and Daniela Riggio, Pilar Di Salvo, Camila Quintana, Julieta Perelman, Luz Mautner and Florencia Azambuja, from S5, debated resolutions which were approved by the different commissions. Pilar Di Salvo’s resolution on the issue of ‘Temporary Housing for Refugees’ was passed in the Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Commission (GA3) of the General Assembly.
Two of our students were student officers. Valentina Cappa chaired the Human Rights Council and Ana Paula Velástegui chaired the Special Conference on Global Sharing. Their participation was crucial for the conference and they did an excellent job. On the other hand, Alex Mysler, an Old Facrectean (class of 2014) and current History student at the UBA, was the President of the General Assembly and gave a very enlightening speech on Global Sharing at the opening ceremony. He was also in charge of closing the Plenary of the General Assembly and the EMUN conference.
The Emun Post was published and distributed during the event by the Press Team to keep the participants informed of the highlights of the conference.
