The day began with a freshzeal among the delegates and

an earnestness of the Councilto reach a substantive andconclusive solution for allthe motions that were raised

by the Council in the ses-sions that followed. Keepingin mind the paucity of timeon the concluding day of theMUN, the Executive Board

briefed the delegates askingthem not to divert from theagenda at hand with the aim

of attaining concrete solu-tions and measures for theprotection of the rights ofrefugees, returnees and in-ternally displaced persons.

With that perspective thefirst motion was raised byCanada on a very somberand pertinent issue of FoodSecurity and Health of theRefugees. A healthy discus-

sion followed wherein theDelegate of Jordon held aninteresting opinion of de-ploying women in refugeecamps citing various Zim-

babwean instances of womenrefugees being raped. Heremarked A woman canopen to a woman only. .

The next motion on thefloor was self-financing and

generation of revenue for thesettlement and rehabilitationof refugees which was fol-lowed up by certain veryinnovative solutions likemulti-storey gardens forproduction and Commonasian asylum as put forth bythe Delegates of Israel andDemocratic People's Repub-lic of Korea respectively.

The day had its own share of

grotesque chits and neverending inconclusive discus-

sions. The Rappourteurwhen asked about his viewson the energy and level ofdebate reported a meager 6(on a scale of 10 of course!).One seems to wonder if thisdull and lull was the reasonthat later in blatant disregardof protocol he oversteppedhis authority by suspendingthe delegate of France for 10minutes from the Council

(Internal squabbles forpower?!).

Another highlight of the daywas the newfound love be-tween Jordon and Palestinewhen the delegate of Jordonstated that Palestinian refu-gees will be granted citizen-ship by Jordon. This led to a

bombardment of follow upquestions which left the Jor-dan delegate dumbfounded.The Delegate of Palestinegrinning widely remarkedPath-breaking statement myfriend! This would solve60% of Palestine's refugeeproblems.. On being askedif the delegate of Jordon felthis job was in danger aftersuch a controversial state-

ment without the govern-ment's backing, the Delegatedid not care enough to an-swer and was later noticed ina pool of sweat.

Meanwhile far beyond refu-gees and diplomatic stands ofpower blocs formed forreaching solutions, the dele-gate of China seemed to be

having a soothing siesta.When as to what is going on

in the council, the chit saidDude! Don even have ne

idea wat all this abt!!(sic).In another interesting in-stance, the Delegate ofMyanmar seemed to notknow his own country'sspellings! However he didnot blink an eye before vehe-mently calling the U.S.A.A thief and police who byimposing sanctions is killinga child in the mother's wombthat is killing democ-

racy! (Democracy? Mother'swomb? Police? Myanmaryou lost us there bro!).

The final day of the MUNthus saw some very interest-ing suggestions and ideas putforth by the nations to tacklethe problem of refugees. Yeta consensus was not reached.A bewildered Jordan, asmirking Palestine and afrowning USA thus markedthe end of this session.

P.S.: JORDAN: You canteach a man how to fish butnot give him a fish everyday.Employment solves all prob-lems!

The Executive Board, withtheir renewed energy com-menced the session with theGSL. The day saw an inten-

sive argumentative sessiondespite the non-lustrous anda pompous start.

Not to mention there weresome plaguing and horrifyingmoments when the Dele-gates were indecisive of thepolicies of their own coun-tries. The Delegate of Chinanever seemed to havefinished her stance and also

had confusing views of cog-nizance given to the SNC byher country. Similar was thesituation of the Delegate ofUSA, who was apparentlyuncertain about the stance ofhis country on the favorabil-ity of provision of aids toSyria. To further add to hisagony, the star-crossed dele-gate of USA was always dis-rupted by his fellow dele-

gates and even by the Execu-tive Board. If this was justnot enough the Delegate ofUSA was not even aware ofthe current geographical andpolitical position of thePresident of his own country(Heard about a word calledresearch delegate?).

The Council broke into asense of amusement mixed

with alarm due to theintervention of a monkey

outside the windows of theCouncil. However, nomonkey-business is toler-ated in the authoritarian

walls of the Security Counciland in regard to that thecouncil resumed its proceed-ings without further wastingthe time.

The Council later movedinto an unmoderated caucuswhich saw a lot of confusion(somethings never just losetheir grip!).Eventually, itseemed like the cordiality

between the Delegates ofUSA and UK was at stakedue to the conflictingpolicies of their respectivecountries. After some timethe Council broke for teaand an enhanced debate re-sumed once the delegateswere all fed (Now we knowwhat was barring them fromunleashing their true self!).Filled up to brim, the

Delegate of DPR Koreastarted the proceedings again

by bringing up on the floorthe topic Humanitarian cri-sis in Syria and outrageouslyspoke against the othernations.

There were several momentsinfected with genuinehumor and strong debate.The stance of Delegate of

France was not taken seri-ously by the Council only

because he made a ghastlymistake of saying that thepeople are dying again andagain! The Delegate of Peo-

ples Republic of Chinaasked the delegate of USA tostop playing the mommyact and actually help othercountries while it owes ahuge debt to China. Thesession had its own set ofvery productive momentslike when the Delegate ofIndia proposed a genuinesolution of providing educa-tion to the Syrian populationas education is the ultimateanswer.

During the session, theCommittee lost its agendaand the chairperson had tolist out all contents that werestill to be discussed. Thisopened the unexploredgrounds for debate and arelevant issue pertaining toMilitary Intervention of

Nations in Syria wasbrought up but the Councilfailed to reach a just,

balanced and neutralconclusion. With such

battles raging within thecouncil what becomes of itand whether or not it willreach a just and a unifieddecision is yet to be seen.

The press is more important than the politicians. But it is important only

if it is free. For example in a country, the press has not fought that thetelevision should not be government owned, that the radio should not be

government owned. They should be public enterprises. Then the press

can fight for individuals who have no power, but the press can give themgreat power.
