ICMUN Delegates Demonstrate Expertise at Seminario School

ICMUN Delegates Demonstrate Expertise at Seminario School

Last Saturday, 2 August, the ICMUN club took an experienced team of MUNers from Years 9, 10, and 11 to the Seminario School in Montevideo. Our delegates represented the United Kingdom and Greece, two key countries in the issues we were presented with.

Luca C. and Tomás G. (UK), Lorenzo D. and Ignacio B. (Greece) showed off their knowledge and experience in the Security Council. Zoe M. and Nicole D. tackled the very topical question of the modern-day role of NATO, while Guillermo H. took Catalina T. under his wing to safeguard the rights of indigenous people. Daniel F. and Manuel P. headed (not literally) into the El Salvador CECOT gaol while Rafael N. and Sienna S. dived into GA2’s issue of tax around the world.

The conference presented a number of unusual committees like the UN Environment Assembly (UNEA), the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), and the Special Committee on Decolonisation, where Rafaela C., Tomás E., and Mencia S. brought their sophisticated background knowledge to the table.

The conference took the solid foundations of the Seminario School in the centre of Montevideo to present a classic MUN day. Our students enjoyed some of the committees and some of the issues, and made friends as usual. The MUN conferences are growing year by year, with the new Elbio Fernández and the Lycée Français conferences to add to the list.

As shown at the Seminario, IC has one of the largest groups of MUN students with the most experience, including our visits to The Hague, and we will be using what we learned at the Seminario to make our own conference even better.
