and candles suffusing a soft glow added to flavour of the delicacies served.
The much-anticipated NIMUN Ball followed, with delegates packing into
the auditorium, and dancing to the trendy beat set by Mohit Ahuja. The
decked up auditorium, complete with LED light balloons and flashing lights,
were much appreciated by all. Dancing into the night, delegates finally
emerged, tired, happy, and looking forward to the next day.

IAEA UK GOES MISER: “We will not fund anything”
A crisis arose in the committee shortly after it was reported India had to stop its production and export of
vaccines, much to chagrin of other nations, as India is the largest producer of vaccines.
Larger nations threatened to impose sanctions unless exports were resumed.
After extensive discussion, the crisis was averted, as all nations came to a conclusive agreement. They then
formed a resolution which was passed unanimously.
WHO
IAEA
According to resolution, Iran to be given nuclear power, but with restrictions.
A crisis was introduced wherein it was found that the Iranian government collaborating with Saudi Arabia had abducted
the daughters of the Russian president and that Saudi Arabia was blackmailing Russia. The daughters were eventually
brought back by the Russian military. It was revealed that Iran had bombed Israel in collaboration with the Israeli
government. Iran was given nuclear aid by Israel from its stockpile. Israel was bombed in a remote area (no casualties),
and the USA had helped Iran to compromise Russian security. Israel wanted to create this entire hoax in order to get
extra monetary funds. A temporary chaos ensued, with multiple debates and rebuttals, all of which was soon nullified as
all nations involved came to a consensus and formed and passed a resolution.

TOPIC: Questions on Iran’s right to nuclear power
After a groggy start, the committee gained momentum with all delegates engaging themselves with the
topic. The delegates’ wits were tested when it was reported that Nigeria’s population would increase to as much as
the USA’s by 2050. Discussions immediately ensued as to how to resolve this potential catastrophe. New Zealand
proposed Russia take in part of the growing population, a prospect which Russia rejected vehemently.
Three working papers were merged to form one resolution on solutions to overpopulation, which was voted
upon and ultimately passed.
UNEP
INTERNATIONAL PRESS CORPS
Based on the findings of the various committees, the International Press Conference shortlisted the finalists

SOCHUM discussed the relevance of journalistic
freedom and protection, focusing on the
harassment of journalists in various countries. They
were informed that a leading Indian journalist,
Arnab Goswami, had been assassinated. Debates
followed regarding the safety of the voices of
media (‘the fourth estate’) in respective countries.
Eventually, all nations arrived at a consensus,
forming a unanimous block that created a working
paper which then passed as their final resolution,
concluding the day’s events.
SOCHUM
UNSC
The delegates of the UNSC continued debate on ISIS activity in the Levant region. A crisis arose
when delegates were informed that Ukraine stole nuclear weapons from Russia, and that North Korea
had a nuclear stockpile. Heated debate followed wherein the delegates of Nigeria and the United
States, along with the guest delegate of South Korea questioned the integrity of North Korea’s intent.
Solutions were discussed, Nigeria encouraging voting upon the resolution drafted by the USA and Nige-
ria, wherein sanctions are posed upon countries involved with the ISIS, which was later passed unani-
mously.

The DISEC has begun working papers and resolutions.
Crisis introduced: UK compromised the cyber security of multiple nations planning a strike on Russia,
which will jam all servers in order to make out if Snowden has revealed vital information.
Countries have called this a ‘gross violation’ of the UN Charter and condemned the act.
The group broke up into smaller blocks and three resolutions were formed; the first was largely anti
espionage in its stance, the second
allowed espionage with consideration
of human rights, while the third
excluded human rights as described in
the UN Charter. They were voted upon
and the second resolution was passed.
DISEC
ECOFIN
UK & USA found guilty of corruption, directing funds from the IMF and the World Bank to their own
accounts to weapon development programs, debating on termination of IMF and the World Bank. One unanimous
resolution was drafted and passed. A KGB Agent revealed in a press release that USAID had conspired with the
government of the UK to gain more funds for itself from the IMF and the World Banks. Through this extra monetary
fund, they planned to develop their weapons program. France, Russia and China condemned this and have asked the
World Bank and IMF to stop giving monetary funds to the USA
Heated argument followed, but eventually the involved parties reached a consensus and a resolution was
formed and passed to combat the growing problem of corruption in development programmes and the setbacks
they cause.
