WHAT’S INSIDE?
Resolution on Abortion Aborted
An extreme resolution on a worldwide one-child policy which encourages abortion, to limit the world’s
population, causes controversy in the ECOSOC committee
By Michael Yan and Emma Dailey
It was an eventful morning for
the ECOSOC committee, with the
heated debate of Fiji’s stance on
overpopulation. Indeed, this resolution caused quite a stir with its
extremely controversial and radical solutions. It included measures
such as a worldwide child policy,
free and encouraged abortions
and distributing free contraceptives in public establishments. In
his speech, the Fijian delegate
declared that overpopulation
would be humanity’s downfall,
and that everything and anything
must be done to solve the pressing issue, even if it meant starting
a third world war to decimate the
population.
This resolution was almost universally panned. The chair pointed
out, without hesitation, that this
resolution is too radical in nature
and not appropriate to implement.
The Holy See in particular was
appalled at the content. The delegate in fact co-signed the resolution, just to see it thoroughly discussed, so that he could make sure
it was condemned. He started his
speech, declaring this resolution
was quite impressive, as it managed to go against everything the
Holy See stands for. He qualified
the resolution as “a mass of sin.”
claiming that Fiji and all those who
voted for it would most probably
“burn in Hell for all of eternity.” The
delegate of the DPRK demanded
a public apology to those who
like themselves, held atheist
views. When asked to reformulate
his proposition in the form of a
question, he asked “What God?”
causing the committee to erupt
in laughter. The resolution was
accused by some to be a “waste of
time” and “purely for the delegate
of Fiji’s amusement”. In protest to
Fiji’s ludicrous proposition, the
delegate of Mexico tore in half
the resolution, and compared the
usefulness of this debate to Kim
Kardashian’s seventy-two day long
wedding.
Many points were discussed
during the hour allowed by the
chair, such as the utility of distributing contraceptives to extremist
countries, as their culture stands
entirely against it. The delegate of
the Democratic Republic of Congo
took for example Gambia, a 98%
Muslim country, entirely against
contraception and abortion, with
which DR Congo shares its views.
On the other hand, some delegates did in fact support this
resolution. Indeed, the delegate
of Nepal delightfully surprised
the committee by using the
white board present to illustrate
his point, using an analogy to
a rabbit world. He started his
speech by drawing a planet
inhabited by two rabbits, called
Adam and Eve ”for the sake of
our Holy See delegate”. As Adam
and Eve reproduced, so did their
children, and so did the children
of their children, until the surface
of the planet was entirely covered
by rabbits. Eventually, to free
some space, some would have to
be killed. But we wouldn’t care,
“because they’re just rabbits.”
However, in a shocking turn of
events, the delegate asked us to
replace the rabbits with human
beings, and ask if we would be
willing to kill them in order to
free space for future generations
of humans. The delegate of Fiji’s
resolution might be radical and
considered extremist by some,
but some argued that it was
better than doing nothing.
In the end, the resolution failed,
with an overwhelming majority
of delegates (62) voting against.
Only 7 voted for, with 4 abstentions.

SIMUN’s Man of Steel
Mr. Colin Sellar, this year’s SIMUN director, and the man that made it all possible.
By Clhöé Villaret
SIMUN Director Mr. Colin Sellar gives us his insider view on issues that
happen on the SIMUN platform, and what goes on behind the scenes.
How has this year’s conference been going so far?
C. S.: Pretty smoothly so far, no major disasters (with a chuckle).
In your opinion, how is this year’s SIMUN different from the previous
ones?
C.S.: Every year, we try to take into account what could be improved
from the year before, so you hope every year, that the next year will
be run perfectly. So there’s no huge difference, just little changes that
improve each conference. For example, a few years ago, we had two
ECOSOC committees, which there was no logical reason for, so this
year we have only one.
This is your fourth time organizing a SIMUN conference. Why do you
keep volunteering to organize the conference? What drives you?
C.S.: I suppose that’s one of my roles in the school (laughs), and you
do suppose that each year, it is a learning process, because you feel
you get better at it and you can offer more each year to the people
who are attending. I had never organized anything on such a scale
prior to my participation in SIMUN, so when it goes well, and people
say they’ve enjoyed the conference, it gives me great satisfaction.
We often hear about what SIMUN can teach students, what has
SIMUN taught you?
C.S.: The various aspects of the organization, the attention to detail,
the logistics and the training have been thorough learning experiences. Choosing the issues, for example, is something I really enjoy
exploring as I’m quite interested in that sort of thing. There’s a lot of
requirements from an organizer and I feel like I do those things more
confidently now.

SIMUN IN A NUTSHELL
The pillars of a great conference.
By Chloé Villaret and Raphaëlle Petit
Despite their hectic schedules Secretaries Generals, Ying Ying Seah and
Joel Sherard kindly made time to sit with us for an interview. Through
our conversation with them, we discovered their warm personalities and
the underlying passion that drives them in doing what they have been
tasked to do, with the highest level of sincerity and professionalism;
Ying Ying Seah
Do you have any message to the delegates?
Joel Sherard and Ying Ying Seah both commented and agreed that
delegates should be themselves and do their very best to learn from
Joel Sherard
What makes a “good delegate”?
Joel Sherard: Ultimately a good delegate is someone who is very
flexible. He or she has to be able to adapt to different situations, and
has to adopt varying viewpoints if and when necessary, so as to garner
support from the delegates.
What sets this SIMUN apart from other MUNs?
Joel Sherard: As opposed to other MUN conference, SIMUN is
composed of a wide field of international participants. Furthermore, the
participants not only step into another country’s shoes, but also make
a conscientious attempt to understand these countries’ perspective
on the different issues. Also, these participants have the very unique
opportunity of learning about and experiencing the diverse ethnic
cultures and innate viewpoints.
Ying Ying Seah: SIMUN is one of the only conferences that covers that
such an array and depth of issues, as other MUNs usually have only
two to three issues discussed at each Council. However, SIMUN usually
has five and at times even six issue, therefore allowing delegates to
experience a larger degree of exposure.
In one word, how would you describe this year’s SIMUN?
Joel Sherard: Diverse
Seah Ying Ying: Interesting

The Beyoncé Resolution
Who Runs the World? Girls!
by Lauren Potter and Kim Heeley
The second day of SIMUN began with a debate
on a resolution regarding gender equality in
education in the Human Rights committee. The
resolution, which was co-submitted by France,
Libya, Cuba, Ireland, and Norway, proposed drastic
changes in the way girls are educated in developing countries. Some of these changes included
comprehensive sex education, new textbooks
without depictions of stereotypical gender roles,
compulsory secondary schooling, and awareness
of women’s rights.
The question of where the funding for these
measures would come from was a major topic,
with some delegates deeming the wording of
the resolution vague and inadequate.. However,
due to the constraints of the Human Rights committee procedures, these questions could not be
addressed directly.
An amendment was put forward by the delegate
of Saudi Arabia, which proposed compulsory religious education in all schools. The reasons behind
this amendment were that in many countries, religion permeates all aspects of daily life, including
school, and that the future generations to come
would need a firm guidance so that traditions
are not lost. Afghanistan was the sole vocal supporter, however, with Guatemala and the USA
both speaking out against. After a fervent debate,
the amendment was quashed, with a vote of 14
delegates for the resolution, 4 abstentions and
over 50 votes against.
where the funding for these facilities would come
from. It was proposed by the delegate of Zambia,
with the intention of providing education to those
outside the metropolitan areas. The voting commenced, and the amendment was passed with 36
for, 20 against, and 6 abstentions.
According to the delegate of Palestine, this
resolution would ‘help tremendously’ to improve
women’s rights, especially in improving women’s status around the world. This was echoed
throughout the debate, with countries like France,
Guatemala, the United Kingdom, Jordan and Ireland all vocally supporting the resolution. Important points such as CEDAW (Committee on the
Elimination of Discrimination Against Women)
and the actions of Malala Yousafzai (a fifteen year
old women’s rights advocate) were all brought up.
The committee chairs
Shortly after the final voting on the second
amendment, there was a final call on the resolution, but no more discussion points were brought
up. Voting commenced, and the divisions became
apparent on who did and did not support gender
equality. Despite this, the resolution passed, with
40 delegates for, 17 against, and 12 deciding to
abstain.
As the delegate for Bolivia so aptly put it, “Who
runs the world?” Girls!

A further amendment for mobile schools and
libraries for rural areas was passed, despite receiving criticism from many nations, enquiring as to
Microfinance, a risky solution
Measures to encourage the economic development of LDCs’:
Delegates gathered in the ECOSOC committee to debate on solutions to stimulate economic growth
in LDCs’.
By Timothy Sanoner
The ch airs of the ECOSOC committee
The resolution, submitted by the Democratic
Republic of Congo received numerous disapprovals on the subject of microfinance, used to finance
low-income workers in LDCs’. It encouraged developed nations to give out loans to poor countries as
investment opportunities (agriculture equipment,
buying land etc…), giving less fortunate countries a starting block towards a more developed
economy. The resolution specified that the loans
were to be carried out with low interest rates; permitting LDCs’ to easily pay back. The delegate of
Somalia specified it had a “98 per cent success
rate”. However, the delegate of Azerbaijan claimed
that the political situation in LDCs’ remains unsure
and corruption remains a threat to funding. The
committee approved the amendment submitted
by the delegate of Saudi Arabia, to shield funding
from corruption by creating a transparent organisation to monitor funding.
Furthermore, the co-submitters of this resolution believe that education plays a major role in
making a country self-sufficient and independent.
Delegates decided that a commission with the
purpose of transferring knowledge and providing
compatible technology was needed. According
to the resolution, executing specialized training
programs for those who do not have the starting
knowledge would bring an economic stimulus to
the country, for example “maximizing agricultural
yield” and “finding consumers”. The delegate of
the UK cited a powerful Chinese proverb “Give
a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a
man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”. The
resolution also incited LDC’s to recruit agricultural
and economic experts.
Although delegates remained sceptical regarding the ability of micro-finance to meet the Millennium Development Goals to “halve the population
living off USD$1 a day”. The resolution passed (49
for; 15 against). The delegate of Nepal made a
statement inspired by Karl Marx “The LDCs’ have
nothing to lose but their chains”.
The submitter of the resolution: the delegate of the
Democratic republic of Congo

Syria: the ticking time bomb
Is the situation in Syria really under control ?
By Philippine Huret and Auxane Delage
The Pakistan delegate debating a resolution
The debate on the situation in Syria started yesterday and is ongoing, in the Security Council. Jonathan Jamieson, delegate of Australia and
Pranaav Devani, delegate of Pakistan are both playing a major part in this debate, frequently intervening. Indeed, the Chairman is having a hard
time containing their enthusiasm.
The committee is “deeply concerned by the humanitarian crisis occurring in Syria”. The delegate of Turkey requested an intervention in Syria and
demands help from the other countries to put a transitional government in place to aid the country. Clause 3, which suggests the creation of
the United Nations Syrian Mediation Committee to provide mediation and political assistance to Syria has finally failed when the majority voted
against this clause. Furthermore, the speech made by the delegate of Syria, a non-member of that committee, threw the council into a frenzy:
“The situation in Syria is under control, the fighting within the country will soon be over. We have everything under control.”
Any additional points were refused by this delegate as he yielded the floor back to the Chair. Although rumors of a declaration of war sent to Syria
on behalf of Australia were rampant, it caused member nations to wonder if this was a joke, or a real threat.
Though the rumor has yet to be confirmed, it is expected to be verified before debate commences on “The regulation regarding the use of drone
aircrafts in combat and policing operations”. Will this debate be as heated as the last one? It seems that with such opinionated delegates it will be so.

A stronger UN, a stronger world
Measures to increase effectiveness within UN mediation in the matter of international disputes
By Michael Yan
A delegate making a speech in the Political Commitee
In 1994, the UN’s slow reaction to the Rwandan
genocide, due to the endless debating on whether the massacre of thousands of Tutsi ethnics was
genocide, distracted the UN from its purpose:
helping the population. This exposed a problem
which has plagued the international community
for decades: the UN reacts too slowly to urgent
matters.
This problematic still lingers on today, and has
been heavily discussed by the Political Committee after an insightful discussion over the past
two days. The delegate of Australia submitted a
resolution in 9 clauses in an attempt to solve this
problem. The submitters of the topic underlined
the need for improved accessibility to the UN
mediation department services to less developed
regions, which they judged too passive.
The resolution was proposed by the delegate
of Australia and its co-submitters (Congo DR,
Somalia, Afghanistan, India, Angola, Mali, United
States and the Holy See) The Congo DR delegate
pointed out the upmost importance of improving the UN mediation, which it declared was crucial for peace bringing. The country itself had a
long history of conflicts.
The submitters recognized that past efforts of
mediation led by African governments have
failed due to corruption of the civil service and
no impartiality of mediators; such is why there
is a need for transparency.
Clause 4 immediately raised questions and concerns over its vague objective. It proposed that
a mediator shall be able to be rapidly deployed
to anywhere on the planet within 5 hours to
prevent a potential large-scale conflict. The
delegate of Japan questioned how they would
define what a “potential large scale conflict”
was. Moreover, the DPRK delegate supported
the resolution, but thought there were illogical
points made, such as an increase in salaries for
mediators.
“UN mediators are not peace keeping forces”,
one delegate affirmed. Indeed, most of the
delegates agreed that the UN should only be
a point of communications between bellicose
countries. An optimistic delegate of the Holy
See reminded everyone that “God loves us all.”
Although most agreed for the passing of the
resolution, concerns were raised over clause
8, which hoped that the TPC would be signed
by all UN members by August 2013, and the
UNOM would be present in all members by
December 2013. The delegate of Jordan was the
first to point out this time-pressuring deadline.
The Philippines delegate proposed to postpone
the deadline to August and December 2014,

Food for thought
Topics at hand look promising
By Max Anderson and Laure Lansonneur
GM (genetically modified) food has long been a topic of continuous debate, and has recently been discussed at a federal level. In this, it has been recognised that it is time for the United Nations to come to a conclusion on this pending issue.
This morning, the Environment Committee discussed a recently issued resolution for debate, which had been reviewed yesterday. After the allocated
two minutes reading time, the delegate of Australia rose to talk about the amendment for Clause 5, which in general states that companies should share
their research or “secrets” into GM food for the benefit of all other companies, big or small. The delegate of Australia spoke about his concerns of this
amendment, stating that because Australia is a capitalist country, big companies in Australia “have no interest of training smaller companies” in their
knowledge of GM food.
The delegate of Cuba then had a few words to say about the amendment. His speech started with an interesting statement, saying that he “hopes you
have all slept well”. A small chuckle came from the audience, but his seemingly light hearted joke had darker meaning, as he continued his speech, stating “while you were sleeping, sixteen more Indian farmers have committed suicide”. The delegate went on to say that a quarter of a million farmers have
also committed suicide in the last 16 years due to Monsanto, a bio technological company that distributes GM seeds. Farmers have been swindled by
Monsanto, as farmers being supplied two years of free seeds are ordered to buy their seed for the next year at outrageously high prices of which they
can’t afford.
Monsanto has specifically modified their seeds so that the soil that the seeds are planted in only responds to their type of GM crops. They use this as
leverage for the already poor farmers to purchase their seeds once again. Because of this, Monsanto is the biggest company selling genetically modified
seeds.
The delegate of Ireland then took the floor, stating that the amendment will “make the rich richer and the poor poorer.” Voting began, and the amendment failed spectacularly, with sixty delegates voting against it.
Closing the debate of the resolution, the delegate of the United States said proudly “We believe in labels because everyone has the right to know what
they eat. We believe the genetically modified crops are nowadays vital to feed the great population and solve world hunger.” The resolution passed
easily with sixty-five votes for.

‘Divine’ perceptions take the
order of the day
Merging religious viewpoints with practical solutions
Repression or expression?
Singaporean Ambassador, Stella Mari Darmawan, discusses
Freedom of Expression in Singapore
By Ilinca Gradea and Lauren Potter
By Ilinca Gradea and Laure Lansonneur
What does an ambassador do? How is it different to being a delegate?
In order to understand the Holy See’s perspective, we took a moment to
interview Jonas Cohen, ambassador of the Holy See but also an active
member of the Politcal Committee and Yohan Erligmann, the Holy See’s
representative in the Human Rights Committee.
What cause are you fighting for?
Jonas: God’s cause. Because he loves all his children so whichever cause
involves God or his Children, involves me.
Yohan: I am fighting for religious reconciliation, religious faith and freedom of speech.
What do you aim to achieve as a representative of the Holy See?
J: The Holy See’s image has been defiled by many false accusations that
are too unholy to even speak of. I’m hoping to redeem its image in the
eyes of not only the world but also in those of our Savior by passing as
many resolutions as possible to better help this planet.
Y: What I want to do during this SIMUN conference is basically stop birth
control. This delegate wants birth control… (points finger at delegate of
France) Crazy, right? Oh and of course, I want my resolution to pass.
What is your resolution?
Y: My resolution consists of reconciling religious faith and freedom of
speech, and to show the world that the church has evolved with the arrival
of, for instance, the new pope.
What do you think of the new pope?
Y: I liked Pope Benedict personally. I think it’s too early to say anything
about Pope Francis… although I didn’t vote for him. I voted for the French
cardinal.
J: A lot of people have been asking that question and on a personal level,
I feel like it’s not going to change much of what is going on in the Vatican City. However; he’s been speaking about a lot of holy type of issues
concerning Argentina on an international level. He’s proven to be quite
interesting although a little old for my taste.
An ambassador represents all the delegates inside one delegation
because there are different councils. At the General Assembly, for
example, they can’t get every delegate to speak so the ambassador speaks on behalf of the country, promoting what the country
believes in and stands for.
Is this your first time being an ambassador?
Yes. It’s quite nerve-racking to be honest because you have to put
in extra effort. All the rest of the delegates do research only on their
area but as an ambassador you have to make sure that their stance
never clashes and doesn’t provide a contradictory point of view on
one of the issues from the different councils.
What are your expectations for the rest of the conference?
I’m definitely expecting fruitful debates, like a real life simulation of
the conference, so I’m guessing all the delegates will come forward
with their best points, having researched all of the issues. I think
so far, it’s been good.
In your opinion, what is the most interesting issue so far?
I think the most interesting issue for me, as well as my country,
would be religious freedom and reconciling it with freedom of
expression- because Singapore believes very strongly in religious
harmony. I think that at times Singapore makes efforts to curtail
freedom of expression because we want to maintain social stability but at the same time we recognize that civilized countries are
always striving towards a country where freedom of expression is
greatly respected and where everyone says what they want without
fear of repression.
What do you hope to accomplish by the end of the conference?
I think by the end of the conference I hope to be more cognizant
with the world’s issues. I also hope that all my delegates would
have learned something from their respective councils.
What are your expectations of the debates to come?
J: I feel like this committee is a lot more organized than many committees
I’ve previously attended, and that debates are going to be very interesting, and that votes are going to be very tight like they have been so far.
I’m looking forward to it.

Delegates of the day
By Kim Heeley
There are many outstanding delegates among our ranks, but some of them can really outshine the others. A good delegate is vocal, involved and interested
in their work, and has a good impression on those who work with them. The two best delegates of today are Pranaav Devani, the Pakistani delegate for the
Security Council, and Opportune Simon, the French delegate on the Human Rights committee.
Pranaav Devani, the first delegate of the day, has been chosen because of his great speaking skills and his ability to keep his composure during debates. At
Pranaav’s school, Saint Joseph’s Institution International, he is the head delegate for MUN, and he has participated in five MUN conferences – three of those
at SIMUN as a Security Council member. According to him, he is honoured to be the delegate of the day at SIMUN, as he loves MUN and is passionate in the
way that he participates in events, debates and his job as the Pakistan delegate.
“Never be afraid about being conflicted on your country’s opinion,” he said. Wise words, Pranaav, wise words.
The second delegate of the day is Opportune Simon, who has been chosen because of her excellent job as the Main Submitter of a resolution on education and gender equality along with delegates from Libya, Cuba, Ireland, and Norway. She has been doing MUN since 7th grade, and has participated in
both SIMUN and THIMUN more than once. Her favourite area is Human Rights, which shows in the quality of the resolution she passed. However, she has
also spent time in Environments and ECOSOC, and has plenty of experience in many areas of MUN.
Her comment was, “Every time I do these three days it makes me want to do it more,” to which we can all understand!

Moment of Glory
Making waves with her calm and collected professional demeanor
By Auxane Delage and Raphaëlle Petit
Whilst the delegates were debating, the
members of the press tried to find a chair or
co-chair who has been raising the bar and
exemplary in his or her disposition of the tasks
and responsibilities assigned. And through
the references which we were handed, we
found this person in a promising Political
Economist.
What defines a “good” chair?
According to the delegates a good chair is
someone “who respects a delegate’s opinion, resolution”. In addition, he or she has to
be “knowledgeable about the issues being
debated in their committee”. A good chair is
“able to maintain order”. Open-mindedness
and a warm personality are definitely a must.
Corine Ackermann, a 17-year-old is co-chair
in the political, according to a consensus
taken in the different committee rooms, is one
of the best chairs in this year’s SIMUN event.
The delegates in her committee acclaimed
her “good insights”, her “help during lobbying
and merging” and finally the fact that she is
well-informed and has extensive preparation.
Besides being highly professional, the Securitaries in the committee also commented that
Corine has a fun side to her. Aurélie Ducrot,
also a co-chair in the political committee,
believes that Corine “is extremely nice and
a great person to work with, who makes you
feel a part of the team”.
Corine has attended four MUN conferences.
However, it is not only her first time chairing,
but also her first time in SIMUN. She feels that
SIMUN is enjoyable as “people are nice and it
is easy to connect with them”. It appears that Corine is indeed both surprised and touched
by this nomination.
On behalf of the SIMUN’s staff, the Press Corps team would like to applaud every chair for
their amazing and competent work.
Corine Ackermann
Securitary of the day
Smells like securitary spririt!
By Raphaëlle Petit and Philippine Huret
With his “great sense of style”, his “sweet
smelling perfume” and his “pragmatic ideas”,
Alexis Millereux was chosen by both his col-
leagues and the delegates in the ECOSOC
committee as Securitary of the day.
Claire Valluy, Head Securitary was impressed,
stating “It is his first time in this position yet he
is a key member in our team”. Isabelle Serna,
a fellow securitary, praised his “ability to keep
his cool in every situation”, whilst Paul Olivier,
another securitary, praised his “thoughtfulness”. The delegates were pleased with his
ability to “get the job done”.
Alexis Millereux was kind enough to answer
some of our questions while attending to his
note-passing duties.
What is the hardest part of being a securitary?
Alexis Millereux: The toll it takes on your
legs. By the end, they are destroyed!
In your opinion, what is the most important
part of a securitary’s job?
AM: We make sure that the SIMUN runs
smoothly.
If you had to give advice to your fellow
securitaries what would it be?
AM: You have to keep in mind that SIMUN
relies on you
On behalf of the entire SIMUN community,
The Press Corps would like to congratulate
Alexis, and thank him for all his hard work.
