Dear 2017 CWMUN Delegates,
Dear Delegates,
Africa could represent the continent of future opportunities, the one in which greater possibilities for growth and development could concentrate in the upcoming years. I believe this should not only be a wish, but a concrete goal to pursue
with the help of everyone and through cooperation to let the continent potential be fully expressed, enabling African
countries to achieve the prosperity we all wish them. There is clearly no single solution to problems that have been occurring for decades, but starting to define a blueprint for action, discerning between the positive and the negative aspects,
would be useful.
Among the best characteristics of the African continent is the low average age of its population, in the majority of the
countries under the 20 years of age. It is a young population with half a billion young people under the 19 years of age on
a total of one billion ca. that estimates see doubling within the next 25 years.
Africa is a young continent to grow. It is an advantageous condition in the global economic scenario, a privilege that has no
match in any other area of the planet, both North and South of the Equator. A first criticism connected to the topic of average age is the level of youth unemployment of the continent. Studies carried out by the International Labor Organization
reported a substantial negative static level of unemployment among the youth over the past five years. The main challenge
for Africa, in the near future, is the level of unemployment amongst the young Africans, especially the most educated, one
of the most penalized categories, in contrast to what some might believe.
Another important strength of the African continent is its abundance in natural resources. As known, extraction represents
one of the main activities driving the exports of Africa, with industries of the sector being the most developed of the continent. Another competitive advantage not fully taken advantage of by the African industrial and economic systems.
It will be fundamental to continue with the process of separation from the West underwent in 2015 in Addis Ababa, when
the African Union decided to reclaim sovereignty over its natural resources and use them for the social and industrial development of the single member states. An historic and revolutionary decision that will certainly have an important impact
also on the developed economies.
The Western World, in this scenario of change, can and must have a primary role, finding new model of sustainability in
support of the African economies at institutional level, but also keeping up with the various investment of international
companies to benefit the local businesses and jobs. A first way of supporting this cause can be the establishment of partnerships for the development of African entrepreneurship, through networks of best-practice sharing, but also through
vocational training as to facilitate the learning of methods and skills.
The goal is to create a generation of African entrepreneurs able to sustain the various economies of the continent through the
creation of jobs. A class of entrepreneurs finding strength in Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus’ motto: “we are not job-seekers,
we are job givers.”
The creation of employment opportunities is a necessary condition for the growth of the African continent. At the same
time, this could also represent a way to reduce migration, a phenomenon motivated by several factors and that is impoverishing entire countries in Africa, eroding its pool of young and promising individuals.
I believe this is a key element in the debate on the centrality of Africa in the global economic landscape and the only way
to approach it: estimates suggest that if African economy’s growth would reach 6%, economic migration towards Europe
would end.
Work is one of the key concepts for the development of the African continent, no doubts about that. Employment opportunities can be the engine and the fuel for achieving the growth and prosperity objectives I was referring to.
Facilitating entrepreneurship could also be a way to create favorable conditions for the achievement of the different goals
of United Nations’ “Agenda 2030” and African Union’s “Agenda 2063”.
I’m happy to personally welcome each of you to the 6th edition of the Change the World Model United Nations – New York City.
The main topic of this year’s conference is Africa with all it’s complexities. The dynamics of the great and unstoppable
phenomenon of migration, the respect of human rights, the problem of social inequality, the water supply problems, the
right to food, education, health. In these conference days we can and we must tie to the great theme of development, to
the theme of moral duty: no one can feel left out. Your energy, your smartness, your fantasy are the levers to move a world
that need to be put back into it’s axis.
You have, here, within the biggest symbol that keeps the nations together the opportunity to think deeply on the complexities that all representative democracies are now facing.
Affirming in the best way possible your participation to the country you are representing as delegates, in reality you will
defend the democratic paths that, in your origin countries, you are facing. You have a concrete chance to exalt and to
safeguard the rights and duties of democratic participation.
You furthermore have the possibility to see things differently. You just have to look round you and see that seated next to
you, you will find, friends and colleagues different from you, coming from different continents, from ethnicities, religion
and orientation. This is your biggest opportunity to give voice to these differences and to respect the different values.
The future is here: in the acceptance and in the respect of the differences, knowing that you need to run to a common goal.
For this reason Associazione Diplomatici, through the organization of conferences like this one, inspiring you to talk, to
confront, to get united, wants to place education as pivot point of the authentic change.
In these years, with nearly 30.000 thousand students from more than 110 different countries we tried to give voice and
same rights to all it’s differences. The growing success of your participation (even in this NYC edition that has registered a
record in participating students) and the one, of which we are really proud and honoured, of the participation of eminent
figures, confirms that this is a success path.
We named our worldwide conferences “Change the World” because we really believe that you will be able to change the
world. You will spend three days at the United Nations Headquarters: live and make treasure of every single moment, we
wish the best for all of you.
Future is back! Enjoy CWMUN!

Letter from the President of Future Leader Society

Letter from the Secretary - General of CWMUN
Alessandro Dimaiuta
Catania, February 10, 2017
Milan, February 21, 2017
I warmly welcome all the participants to the 2017 Change the World Model UN, and I deeply thank them for the trust that
once more you have put into this extraordinary initiative.
With them I want also to thank their families, the schools and the advisors that facilitate the participation of so many
students coming from all over the world.
For many months, globalization has been more and more debated. Many people, now, fear globalization and see at it as a
way to destroy jobs, identity and sovereignty; this mood explains Brexit and the election of President Trump.
But this debate, in these terms, is mainly a North-western debate: the Chinese leader, Xi Jinping, just a few weeks ago,
praised globalization and open markets as a powerful way to let billions of people go out of poverty. The world, thanks to
globalization, today is richer, healthier and more peaceful than ever.
Africa is one of the (partial) winners of globalization. It has been considered for many years a lost continent: the German
famous philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel said even that it was a continent outside the history.
Today, Africa is the new history, as the enviable rates of growth in many African countries show. We cannot therefore consider Africa looking only at the conditions of rogue or failed states. These states menace the stability of the Mediterranean
area, but Africa doesn’t finish at their borders.
The 2016’s edition of the Report about global economy, published every year by Centro Einaudi, an Italian leading thinktank, shows that in the period 2000-2012, the growth in Africa has been stronger than in the rest of the world. When the
crisis has slowed this path of growth, the process of modernization didn’t stop: in 2015 the foreign investments in Africa
grew of 7%; the experts are still very optimistic, hoping in five elements:
• A strong young generation very keen on digital technologies;
• Governments ready to invest in infrastructures;
• A growing rate of African graduated abroad and ready to come back and begin entrepreneurial activities;
• The interest of investors;
• A market for digital applications not colonized by foreign sites.
In 2015, for the first time, more than half of African leaved under formally democratic regimes; they were just the 28% in 2010.
Our duty is to let grow these reasons of hope and these opportunities. First, being convinced that the world is not our
world. Impeding to African countries to accede to the good outcomes of globalization should be but a new kind of colonialism: the rich and old countries that close the markets in order to defend their jobs and their richness without considering
the impact of such a disastrous decisions on billions of people all over the world.
This closeness should be a suicide for us: if Africa could grow at a rate of 6% a year, the migrations to Europe could completely fall. On the other hand, ignoring Africa we will give more and more room to the spreading of forms of new colonialism,
coming from Northern and Eastern powerful, ambitious and assertive countries.
This requires the necessity of stronger and stronger, more and more innovative kinds of cooperation: without it, every effort to stop migrations from South to North will fatally fail, provoking in our Northern countries more and more aggressiveness, worries, isolationism and populism. We must escape from this vicious circle that risks jeopardizing our democracies.
In the next future, it’s up to you looking for new policies that could be able in poor countries to improve the conditions of
people, strengthen civil societies and not enrich more and more the treasures of old despots. It’s African hope, it’s our duty.
Salvatore Carrubba
Dear Honourable Guests, Delegates, Advisors, Staff and Friends,
On behalf of the Senior Secretariat and of al the staffers of the 2017 Change the World Model United Nations, I warmly
welcome you to New York City.
I am really proud and honoured to represent you all as Secretary-General of this conference.
The Change the World Model UN is shaped as a complete learning experience through which students acquire knowledge
and high level skills put to use in the future, including possession of tools for the understanding of global dynamics and
their interpretation, and the ability to relate and build links with the globalized world in which we live in the respect of
cultures, political opinions, and value systems other than their own. Our world is confronting a time of many changes and
we’re meeting these changes during a time of larger nation-wide and global change. The world of CWMUN is an exciting
area in which to learn and grow at the same time, and we’ll continue to meet and bring inspired people together in forums
like this, to ensure our Conference remains at the cutting edge. We should all be very proud of where we are today and
excited about where we are headed.
The CWMUN Secretariat and staff have done their best to give you the most exciting Model UN experience possible. Participating in this conference represents a unique opportunity for all of you. We look forward to hearing constructive debate
on the most pressing issues and challenges facing our global community as you expertly represent your Member States.
Indeed, understanding issues of such international stature will require a great deal of work and dedication on your part,
but together, our different points of view can formulate responses to the challenges discussed. Model UN are all about this,
different points of view on the same issues and finding a solution that works for all. Dialogue, ideas, positive leadership,
resolutions, tolerance, democracy, legality, and respect: these are the fundamental elements of a Model UN and must
certainly be the fundamental aspects of our everyday behaviour. You will all remember this experience as one of the best
of your entire life. Being able to reach consensus through negotiation will help you in all your future experiences. As future
generation of managers and leaders it is our duty to create and obtain a worldwide improvement and the only way to
do so it is to give our 100% in everything we do with loyalty and diligence preferring the interest of the community to our.
You’re joining a great team of co-delegates. We have a good range of content and fresh viewpoints that make working
together a rich experience. I am sure you will all impress us with your energy, enthusiasm and your track record of working
hard and smart.
Good work to you all. Do the best, be the best!

most important global issues related to human rights and environment challenges. The CWMUN agenda includes
topics as “Cutting energy costs and reduce pollution with waste recovery by recycled energy development”, “Environmentally displaced people and social vulnerability”, “Accessing science as a human right to development” and
“Renewables as a key element of sustainable development”.
Fostering discussion among students and encouraging them to imagine possible solutions to major world issues,
Diplomatici intends to support the achievement of the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, with particular reference to:
Principle 1 - Businesses should support and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights;
Principle 8 - Undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility;
Principle 9 - Encourage the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly technologies.

CWMUN Goes GREEN!
CWMUN feels the responsibility to promote green sustainability in accordance with Rio+20 solutions adopted by
the United Nations. Starting from CWMUN NYC 2016, all of our conferences will take action into this matter with the
aspiration to reduce the negative environmental effects cause by the conference and to compensate unavoidable
emissions.
For this reason CWMUN will use technology to reduce all printed conference material. All delegates, using their
pen drives, will have access to the resolutions of their committees. Furthermore at the end of CWMUN NYC we will
officially announce how many trees have been spared and will donate a sum of 1000$ to plant more than 67 trees!

medieval city, a glorious Renaissance city and a glorious modern city. Funky neighborhoods like Trastevere and San
Lorenzo set a hip tone. And then there is the culinary side of the equation. Delectable cuisine is the rule here, not

CWMUN NYC 2018
March 16 - 18
Location: United Nations HQ - New York City, USA
The “Big Apple,” the “City That Never Sleeps”—New York is a city of superlatives: America’s biggest;
its most exciting; its business and cultural capitals; the nation’s trendsetter.
The city seems to pull in the best and the brightest from every corner of the country. But for all its eight million residents, New York remains a city of neighborhoods, whether it’s avant-garde Greenwich Village, bustling Harlem, the
ultra-sophisticated TriBeCa, or one of the ethnic enclaves such as Little Italy or Chinatown. And a cleaner, brighter,
safer New York is attracting people from around the world who are coming to enjoy the city’s renaissance.
Main Theme: TBA
*the main theme of the conference has to be considered as tentative. Topics can be subjected to change due decision of the CWMUN International Board
following the evolution of the real ongoing global political scenarios. For further information please visit our website: www.cwmun.org

Travel and Safety Tips
New York City is the safest big city in the United States. Gone are the days when people were warned not to venture
into Alphabet City or the Lower East Side. Pretty much nowhere in Manhattan is off-limits - though it’s still an urban
area, so do use your common sense (for instance, you may not want to walk around at 3 a.m. by your lonesome).
In case of emergency dial 911.

New York City houses so much diversity of cuisines that it's a shame to stick to tourist neighborhoods or chain restaurants you probably have at home.

Here are a few worthy spots to seek out when breaking from sessions or sightseeing. The are several Starbucks coffees around the Hyatt.
