As a first timer at YUNMUN and one of very few freshmen, I was intimidated by the other delegates and how skilled they were. But after a day here, I’ve made so many new friends and I feel very comfortable in my committee.
My committee, UNEP (United Nations Environmental Protection), was assigned to a crisis: Yemen was going through a severe drought. We had one hour to decide on a resolution to solve this problem, otherwise the people of Yemen would die. Every country incorporated resolutions and ideas as to how to properly supply water to Yemen. However, after the final votes, none of the resolutions were passed and Yemen’s people died.
So now I can say that my committee was responsible for the death of a country. What a great way to start a conversation.
