UNHRC

Chiraag, Anushka & Vinanti

Human Rights Can Wait

A new day had dawned on the committee,

and, like a marshal preparing his forces for

the worst, the co-chair told her committee

members that she would not be lenient, like

she had been the day before. However, she

was far from cold, as she was encouraging

the first time MUNners in the committee to

come up and speak, in an extremely friendly

a d ar a . This appare t stri t behavior was further evidenced by her

constant smiles and warm reception to

delegates who had just gathered the

courage to speak what they had prepared

for the agenda, pertaining to the Islamic

State of Syria and Levant.

The committee started off with the

delegate of Iraq restating all the issues that

had come in tandem with the ISIS(ISIL), but

the point of the moderated caucus the

committee had elected was to state

solutions for the issues, leaving the

delegate of Iraq flustered. The delegate of

Switzerland stated, however, that in

different circumstances, it could have been

the Islamic State of Switzerland. Delegate,

read up on the existence of this caliphate,

and then dream about those circumstances.

The caliph probably dislikes you now.

The delegate of Malaysia revealed her dark

side, by insinuating that she would not mind

civilian casualties if the terrorists were also

killed, while the delegate of Fiji stated that

The UN is ot suffi ie t e ough to ha dle su h a glo al issue . Delegate, pra do tell us how the UNITED NATIONS is a local

organization extending only till your nearest

bakery? This was further added to by the

Czech Republic, who stated that the ISIS did

ot ha e the orre t i terpretatio of the Quran, not realizing that interpretations are

subjective and therefore not subject to the

idea of right or ro g .

The committee took off for the better post

lunch, wherein delegates who had not been

an active part of committee for the last

three sessions had now decided that they

would indulge in active participation, while

the delegates of Egypt and China were

having their own war in a text rendered

ersio of “to e, Paper, a d “ issors . The delegate of Luxemburg wanted to send over

psychological help to the refugees via free

internet, leading to speculation that maybe

he would also wish to email feelings,

someday.

EB REVIEW

The Chair of the HRC, Sagar Rajpal, was the

heartthrob of the committee and many of the

OC members, as most found his boyish cuteness

and charm too irresistible to handle. This image

of his was mutated, however, when the Chair

became aggressive in order to force delegates

to partake in formal debate.

The committee ended off on a game, the

eo s old do-marry-kill , leadi g to confusion with a tinge of excitement

suddenly arising within committee once the

do-marry-kill- chits were circulated.

Ho e er, delegates did t u dersta d the meaning of do ( learl ore tha foreig policy research needs to be done before

attending a MUN) and therefore had to be

DAY 3

Even after a tiresome social night the

committee seemed to flow pretty well,

without any lethargic expressions being

displayed.

The committee began with the GSL, with

delegate of Russia being the first speaker

who spoke with such a speed that he was

named "The Rocket Man" by the

International Press.

The proceedings then moved forward with

the discussion of the working paper

introduced by the delegate of the United

States.

All of the authors started to explain the

working paper named "SISI", when the

delegate of Yemen raised an appreciable

point. While all of this was taking place in a

perfectly chronological manner, our dear

chair's orange socks were a highlight.

After being done with an appreciable

discussion of the working paper and

successfully passing it, the committee

started with a Special Speakers List because

the chairs realized that a few delegates

were inactive and wished to know their

stand on the agenda.

Delegate of Luxembourg, raised his placard

everytime a photographer was around. The

ebullient rat likes being clicked.

In no time we had reached the middle of an

unmoderated caucus where in the delegate

of Spain was spotted dancing and also

swearing in Spanish, by the chair. (Chair,

why so "Sirius"?)

Also, there was a phone auction in which

the Delegate of Spain had to bribe the chair

with a cake to get it back.

The committee started working on the draft

resolution, once they were back from lunch.

A motion for entertainment was raised by

the delegate of PRC, but declined by the

chair. (Chair, why so "Sirius?")

Sound Bite!

Chair HRC Sakshi Uniyal is a big time

racist! She also thinks Chair DISEC Karan

is a nigger.

She also loves Salman Khan <3

Judge, judge!

We lo e ou “akshi! Do t let “agar take all the attention \m/

LOK SABHA

Rujula, Isha & Anushka

Ironically, Mamta Banerjee made her debut

speech on the SECOND day urging the

committee to discuss human rights

violations and ways to regain the i ilia s

trust. The committee obeyed, when Sitaram

Yechury, CPI expressed his fury towards the

committee for taking up his rejected motion

from yesterday, Is it not i porta t? he

asked, adding on his words dripping with

sarcasm he said to Narendra Modi, “a hi mein acche din laye hai aap e

With drama heavily layered through the

committee proceedings, we saw what we

had never expected when Rahul Gandhi

supported Narendra Modi. Manmohan

Singh was sticking well to his character

when he finally spoke up, however as t

quite audible in spite of using the mic.

Sushma Swaraj then went on to confidently

say that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has

visited 102 countries in the last year. After

being showered with laughter from

committee, he conveniently brought down

the number to 59, when our very esteemed

deputy Secretary General was heard to say,

You might as well have said 9!

It is said that the best is always saved for

the last; Lok Sabha ould t ha e pro e it better. Fruitful debates, passionate fighting,

a d hilarious o e-li ers – this committee

had it all.

"Arre yaaar" cried in Sushma Swaraj while

Manohar Parrikar spoke of amending Article

370 (bye bye party policy) and shrugged off

blame saying BJP cannot be responsible for

what everyone in their party. The

committee today spoke of apples, walnuts,

gems, and horticulture to boost economy.

IP Loves Poetry!

Sitaram Yechury to Narendra Modi-

Tujhse naraz nahi BJP, hairan hu main,

tere ironic claims se pareshan hu main

ATITHI DEVO BHAVA :

Both the guest delegates - All Party Hurriyat

Conference and Indian Mujjahadeen -

entered the committee with a fierce game

plan. APCH was adamant of his stance on

making an Azad Kash ir by revoking the

Article 370. The delegate of the Indian

Mujjuahadeen went a step further and

labelled the Indian Government to be

i o pete t and said that they not only

want to torture the people of Pakistan but

those of India as well. He ended by saying

that Indian parliament doesn t really know

what s happening in Kashmir.

ROK SABHA: WE NEED TIME TO STOP

LAUGHING AND START WORKING.

Page 5: NEWSLETTER - Nashik-MUN · UNHRC Chiraag, Anushka & Vinanti Human Rights Can Wait A new day had dawned on the committee, and, like a marshal preparing his forces for the worst, the

The committee was given 2 minutes to

research. Sushma Swaraj was overly

enthusiastic and Mr. Manmohan Singh

looked as lost as ever. He was asked to do

SOMETHING and at least look interested.

Committee proceeded; Rahul Gandhi

condemned poverty as Sushma Swaraj

quoted him from the past "Poverty is a

state of mind in which food and money

didn't matter" and implied through his

speech that the Lok Sabha belonged to the

Gandhi family and Rahul Gandhi has been in

the Lok Sabha since childhood. One might

think Mr.Gandhi was rendered speechless

BUT he indeed came up with "I was young

back then, and people evolve." Way to go

Lok Sabha.

While Manohar Parrikar and NaMo

sincerely made efforts to strengthen

economy, the Vice-Chair was more

interested to know if she could click selfies

with a DSLR.

The debate had pumped so much

adrenaline into the committee that,

surprisingly, they no longer desired lunch.

Sushma Swaraj interjected zealously

claiming that Rahul Gandhi did not know

about his own eduction, Mr.Sharad Pawar

FINALLY chimed in to the already stated

accusation of BJP violating party policy

regarding Article 370, Sashi Tharoor barked

at BJP saying "Vo bhappare de rahe hai!"

and the Chief of Army Staff complained that

Congress had been turned into Cartoon

Network as RaGa was called a child and the

BJP spread rumours of Sonia Gandhi and

Manmohan Singh having an affair much to

Sadanada Gowda's disapproval.

Meanwhile Rahul Gandhi went up in the

arms, yelling at the BJP, sa i g Ha e oil prices ka kar ae a! bolne se kuch nahi

hota The o ittee went absolutely

BALLISTIC.

CRISIS!

JUST IN: Man shot by a suspected

militant in North Kashmir.

BUSTED

Mr. Ravi Shankar Prasad and Sonia Gandhi

were caught watching movies and to the

Chair's utmost relief, it wasn't porn. The two

were asked to explain the content, give a lap

dance to each other or answer the

following:

Namit (To Mr.Ravi): Who's the prettiest

among the Vice Chair or the 2 IP delegates?

RSP: No one. (Ouch - OFFENSIVE!) (Later he

picked of the IP Delegates)

Namit (To Sonia Gandhi): If you were gay,

who from this committee would be your

partner?

Unsurprisingly, the delegate did not answer

(MAYBE because RaGa was just happily

watching his mother being declared

homosexual) Still unyielding, Ravi Shankar

Prasad was asked to either sing, dance or

"Give his Prasad to Mrs.Sushma".

Completely flushed, delegate of Sushma

Swaraj excused himself.

Page 6: NEWSLETTER - Nashik-MUN · UNHRC Chiraag, Anushka & Vinanti Human Rights Can Wait A new day had dawned on the committee, and, like a marshal preparing his forces for the worst, the

Obviously invigorated by the lunch, the

committee introduced two working papers

criticism of both, it came down to voting for

himself to throw up hands in the air and yell

BJP! BJP!

PHEW. With the Honorable Prime Minister

Modi seen in black suits, indiscriminate

violation of the right to bang tables,

hilarious accusations and emotional

outbursts and UTTERLY COMPLETE

MADNESS without having compromised the

quality of debate, this Lok Sabha simulation

perfectly captured the essence of the real

one (of course it did not pass a bill) and now

we all know why the Lok Sabha was the

also seemingly inquisitive, naming the

Bahrain, Afghanistan, Singapore, Jordan.

The sponsors were USA, India and

Malaysia.

The delegate of Syria certainly showed off.

You had to love his accessories - the

shocking pink notebook and the ponytail

were certainly eye-catching. Let us not even

After the long LONG lunch break, a delegate

very aptly pointed out that the committee

basically consisted of USA and Russia trying

to out-argue each other. Resulting in a long

debate, which ended with the committee

going back to the GSL. Dear delegate of

Finland, we hope you learn how to

pronounce Scandinavia before your next

MUN. It is t "Caaa di i iaaa.

After a u oderated au us of minutes which quickly escalated into 20

minutes a version 2.0 of the working paper

as i trodu ed titled Save Islam 2.0 . We hope this working paper turns out to be

a good resolution and the committee finds

a solution for the first agenda.

DAY 3

Our dear self-obsessed Chair Karan did an

individual feedback session for everyone in

the committee, obviously with the intention

of fishing out compliments for himself in

the presence of the entire IP team. He

admitted that he was hoping that our

sincere photographer Sidharth would go

away instead of waiting (As EIC Hiral

specifically asked him to do!) for the motion

for entertainment, where he was coerced

to sing a Farhan Akhtar song.

Taylor Swift is the shiz!

The delegate of Russia: Band aids don’t fix bullet holes. The IP thinks that the delegate

was cute enough to fix anything! ANYTHING.

USA wasn't the one to be deterred though,

and promptly responded - NICE to know that

Russia considers Taylor Swift an

authoritative figure in International Politics!

Taylor should sure write a song for this cute

Russian delegate!

Side note: Chair Karan is a big fan

PRESS RELEASE

Joint Declaration- Syria, Russia, PRC, Iran

Noting the unfeasible nature of the

proposed body of the UNIRC and its

seeming self-declared mandate of educating

the great Islamic States Of The Middle

Eastern region about their own religion, the

nations of Russia, PRC, Iran and the Syrian

Arab Republic jointly denounced the

proposal of this body should it be formed by

the approval of the Draft Resolution 1.0. The

Syrian Arab Republic also states that it shall

refuse entry to representatives of the same

body within its own territory, both to

preserve their own lives and the security of

operatives in Syria and France.

The anonymous chits

session lead to people

wondering if Delegate

of Russia was gay.

Others found his

dimples cute!

He would be

sponsoring a Vodka

party. Cheers all!

Chair: But Delegates! You promised you'd

talk today! -This basically sums up the

proceedings.

Prosaic Poetry

New to the uncanny requirements of a

MUN, the delegate of Singapore managed

to offend the delegate of USA. The SecGen

attempt to spice up the situation by asking

the delegate to submit an apology with the

rhyming scheme 'abab'. The Singaporean

delegate hoped his statements did not

"effect their relationship".

Anonymous Confessions!

To Chair Karan:

If your left leg was thanksgiving and your

right leg was Christmas, noone should

come in between because you look like

you have an STD!

Where did you get the Kangaroo pin

from!

To IPC-Sheryl

I love the way you say Inner'national!

To Chair HRC Sagar:

~This chit was torn and thrown away

before Hiral could get her hands on it. In

a previous statement, Karan was heard

quoting- Sagar is my best friend, BUT

(There is always a butt), I hate him!

"Ye sab log subha subha kya phoonk kar

Welcome Delegate of Ukraine: Our

Secretary General finally posed as the

delegate of Ukraine and instigated debate

by mentioning the role of Hawala trade.

DAY 3

The third day at the United Nations

Organisation for Drugs and Crime (UNODC)

got off to a tepid start, with delegates

answering the roll call as a hesitant after-

thought. The agenda was narcoterrorism,

but it seemed like the delegates i ds were running on the very substances they

were trying to regulate-reactions and

speech were sluggish at best.

The Ge eral “peaker s List trudged alo g slowly for most of the part, until an

interesting turn midway. The delegate of

Afghanistan spent his entire two minutes

berating Netherlands for their lax attitude

towards drugs, referring to supposed illicit

cafes in Amsterdam which featured dubious

e us a d Drugs of the Da . The Japa ese

delegate voiced his amusement at this,

pointing out that Afghanistan seemed to

have forgotten to address the problem of

their own drug-riddled nation. The delegate

of Netherlands was quick to dismiss the

claims, and used the opportunity to point

out the many benefits of legalizing drugs,

including enormous revenues in taxes.

The first motion to be passed was put forth

by the delegate of Japan: a Moderated

Caucus seeking to discuss the effects of

terrorism caused by the narcotics trade.

Blisteringly, the American delegate

presented chilling statistics without a paper

aid of any kind, taking committee through

the vast number of casualties that occur

every year due to drug trafficking. The

delegate of Mexico noted that the war on

drugs and the war on terror were, in

actuality, the same war being fought on two

different fronts. The Afghani delegate

agreed with Iran, insofar that the

government were lacking in the knowledge

of trade routes taken by black-marketers

through mountainous terrains like the

Himalayas, a fact exploited by terrorist

groups like the Al Qaeda and Taliban. While

delegates volleyed back and forth on these

insidious problems, the delegate of Brazil

appeared to be frying bigger fish, going by

the perturbed expression on her face as she

napped through the entire proceedings.

Working Paper:

USA- Uncontrolled Smugglers Association

The desperation of the Chair was evident

when he vehemently urged the delegates

to speak up and write working papers-

Kuch bhi banao yaar!

So they did. The Japanese bloc prepared a

working paper titled USA (Uncontrolled

Smugglers Association) which was

criticised for being vegue, abrupt and only

as good as a toilet paper. But then, Toilet

papers are necessary!

Page 10: NEWSLETTER - Nashik-MUN · UNHRC Chiraag, Anushka & Vinanti Human Rights Can Wait A new day had dawned on the committee, and, like a marshal preparing his forces for the worst, the

Apart from the happenings within

committee, the UNODC Chairperson was

seated outside with an unsteadily balanced

laptop and an even more unsteadily

flickering dongle, battling a failing internet

connection in the hopes of downloading a

decent draft resolution to show his

committee. What followed soon after was a

lesson in both paperwork and grammar- the

Executive Board gave an impromptu crash-

course on how best to frame working

papers, and advised delegates on the

various adjectives, verbs and adverbs to

either generously use or avoid.

Committee finally broke for an

Unmoderated Caucus, with various blocs

colluding to pass their resolutions and fail

e er o e else s. The Press a o l hope that the UNODC finds the motivation and

cohesiveness that it is sorely lacking, so that

delegates may shift from lack-luster to a bit

more muster.

SPECPOL

Jerusha, Aakshara & Tanvi

The committee commenced with a roll call

as per usual, followed by a GSL. The

delegate of Russia had an american accent

(the irony) and was rather poetic in his

speech.

The delegate of DPRK seemed pretty

famous in committee as his motion to

discuss the creation of a passive UN body to

look into drone strikes was passed by the

entire committee without a second

Q. On a scale of 1-10, how much does

this committee test your patience?

A. 6

Q. Describe your committee in 2 words

A. 48 idiots

ouch!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Page 11: NEWSLETTER - Nashik-MUN · UNHRC Chiraag, Anushka & Vinanti Human Rights Can Wait A new day had dawned on the committee, and, like a marshal preparing his forces for the worst, the

thought. Thus began a rather interesting

discussion when the delegate of Russia

said, The delegate of U“A a ot e er good at creating resolutions, he is only good

at shooti g the do . U“A, although quite fluent in debate, proved to have a

huge ego and superiority complex. Though

the delegate of DPRK clearly stated many

useful solutions that most of the committee

was in favour of, all the delegate of USA

ould sa as, DP‘K has ot pro ided a alid suggestio s. A d i sisted that the

stance that article 51 takes supersedes any

other article in the UN charter.

The delegate of USA kept droning on and

on.. (pun intended)

For the first working paper (V1), UK went up

to read it out. When asked whether he was

an author, his very prompt reply was - I' just sig i g it! ( ea i g he as a signatory). So much for rich British English.

The delegate of UK gently lulled every single

person in the committee into a deep DEEP

slumber as he read it out. His clear

enunciation and the stress he put on each

and every syllable de-stressed us all-

bringing wave upon wave of boredom upon

the committee. He was not very popular

amongst the others, we must say. Not very

surprisingly, this working paper failed to

pass. The delegate of Qatar was proving to

be a proverbial shepherd to the fresh and

unseasoned delegates, herding and

coercing them into becoming signatories on

the draft resolution..

Also the delegate of Russia assumed his

oversized suit jacket to be a tutu and

thought twirling in it would be a great way

to while his time away.

While attempting to pass the draft

resolution 1.0, there was a small issue of

op right i fri ge e t , lai ed the delegate of Bolivia. An apology was

demanded by our Secretary-General Rahul,

who happened to be present in committee

at the time. When the oh-so-eloquent

delegate of Russia gushed with apology, the

Sec-Gen cut him off with- We a ted a apolog , delegate, ot a allad. Ho e er, that did t see to deter the delegate of Russia from attempting to serenade his way

to the top.

The question-answer session discussing the

draft resolution was quite repetitive and

went around in circles, as one of our

authors, the delegate of PRC seemed to

realise. Wh else ould he sa re-irritated instead of reiterated?

IT ALL ENDS

Hiral feat. the IP team

This MUN was a roller coaster ride, and as it

ends, we bring to you all the highlights,

maybe inconsequential to the proceedings,

but definitely things we would all like to

remember. That's what newsletters are for!

A huge, HUGE, chunk of our gratitude to the

OC, to begin with. Especially, the darling of

the EB, Sam! Everybody loves Sam. He is

our Chota Packet Bada Dhamaka. LITERALLY

the smartest 16 year old ever.

Excuse the picture quality but this selfie

means a lot!

A big shout out to all the other OC members

for making everything as smooth as it could

possibly be! Cheers to you!

THE RAMP

One of the main reasons I love MUNs is all

the impeccably well dressed people talking

in parliamentary language absolutely gets

me going! So a short commentary on the

fashion goes here, as agreed by most of my

team!

ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK

Sources say, Chair Samrat's tie is borrowed

from a Clash of Clans teammate (his

username being Hercules, for your

reference). And my dear foot-model Sagar

flaunts these K3WL orange socks at the

closing ceremony. Sakshi choose Orange for

perfect selfies too, honestly, it is hard to

find her not posing!

CARICATURES

Now, I take immense pride in showing off

this talented girl Zara and her caricatures,

she ran around committees making EXACT

REPLICAS of everything. Check these

caricatures out!

Now!

Press Awards. Because writing this is not

easy as it looks.

And one for all of my press team, who

exceeded my expectations by leaps and

bounds. My editing brain cried out

everytime I had to leave anything out

because of space constraints. Cheers to

you!

Hope to see you all in the next edition of

Nashik MUN in an action-packed debate

experience.

I guess I will be hungover on this MUN for

quite a while. I hope you all also take away

good memories of these three days.

Special mention to Mulay sir, for making it

happen. His energy and spirit are

unmatched. A mentor like him is what every

student needs.
