Alas, as the sun sets on yet another MUN here at Methodist College, we must ask the question on everyone’s lips, ‘Have we changed the world for the better?’ The short answer is no, because this is a model United Nations. Sorry. Speaking hypothetically, however, if our current crop of delegates proceed to enter politics or become ambassadors, we can feel safe in their hands. From the word go, there was a refreshing lack of, ‘I don’t see the point of this resolution,’ although, as per usual, the hyperbole squad were out in force.
The 09 committee had the honour to speak on the recent swine flu (N1H1) pandemic with the honourable senior medical officer Ms Lorraine Doherty, who presented the forecast of the pandemic flu risks, prevention and the development of the virus to the delegates before discussing the resolution submitted by
Thomas Olver, delegate from Belgium, has given pressing issues an exclusive interview about the goings on in Human Rights Committee on Friday morning.
According to Mr Olver, a horde of wild ligers was released into the committee. "It was the worst atrocity I've ever seen and I feared for not only my own life, but the lives of every delegate in my committee."
Thankfully, Lisa 'Morph' Murphy, our resident superhero, was able to round up all of the big cats, which are now being held in captivity in MCBMUN headquarters.
