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 Myanmar about flu epidemics, which finally passed.
