What is a/an MUN?

More specifically it entails a simulation of the workings of the Committees in the General Assembly, Disarmament and International Security Committee, human rights council, and an Indian committee, All India Political Parties Meet.

Committees
1. UN General Assembly: Disarmament and International Security Council (DISEC)

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) is the largest congregation of nations that recommends legal, political, economic, social and humanitarian efforts that help save lives of millions across the world, where each country has an equal voice and vote regardless of the agenda. Disarmament and International Security Committee is a strapping committee of the conference which has been entrusted with the Herculean task of maintaining international peace and security and this simulation aims to uphold the same sublime ideals.

With germane and riveting agendas, passionate speeches and delirious lobbying and negotiation, this committee deals with disarmament, global challenges and threats to peace that affect the international community and seeks out solutions to the challenges in the international security regime. This Committee test one’s prowess and speak ones heart out as one tries to find a middle ground with his rivals using his negotiation and persuasion skills.

2. United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC)

The UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is an intergovernmental organization working towards the promotion and protection of human rights. It is a forum where issues are discussed with special emphasis on the humanitarian aspect. Dealing with intricate matters, this council provides a platform for its member states to raise concerns over human rights violations, thereby allowing a free flow of opinion. Often finding itself on the headlines, the functioning of the UNHRC makes it one of the most interesting bodies of the UN.

3. All India Political Parties Meet (AIPPM)

The All India Political Parties Meet is a forum for unrestricted political debate, discussion and deliberation, free from the legislative functions of the parliament. The AIPPM provides a platform where diverse political perspectives and personalities come together to make decisions on issues of national importance. The All India Political Parties Meet is a venture to emulate political realities by stimulating the various levels of policy and governance existing in our nation today.

The committee helps one grasp the multi-layered processes that go behind policy-making and governance in India, providing them with a hands-on approach to the impediments and challenges that confront political parties in modern times. AIPPM through its final document aims to provide solutions in the form of recommendations to the Government to solve the existing issues for which all the political parties have arrived at a consensus. It is crucial for a nation to listen to its strongest demographic community, the youth. This council echoes our hopes of change and evolution. It is a proud moment to make AIPPM part of the MUN and hopes that the Committee accumulates a voice that brings in the change we dream of.

So don’t limit your arguments to discussions at home and over social media. Hone your arguments and battle it out with the best at CUSAT MUN’ 2019!
