 | The following day proved to be just as exciting as the actual conferences commenced at the UN office in Nairobi. Debates were held in various committees depending on which the resolution was best suited for, eg Political, Health, Human Rights, or Ecology & Environment. In addition to these separate committees were the Security Council and the International Court of Justice. The first three days consisted of debating resolutions in the appropriate committee rooms. Once these were approved by committee, the resolutions were then presented to the General Assembly for further debate during the last two days in Nairobi. I would like to congratulate the delegates of Slovenia and Burundi for doing an excellent job (as this was our first time). The MUN is a significant programme for developing leadership skills, learning about parliamentary processes and acquiring social skills. I would also like to say thank you to Ms Sproston (taxi service!) and Mr Macdonald for their assistance, and to Mr Williams who managed to wear a tie for four whole days!
