..AND THE COUNTDOWN IS OVER!

The atmosphere was happy; the delegates were excited; the
Executive Board was enthusiastic and the first day of AMUN 2015
had all glitters and smiles.
The session commenced with the Secretary General declaring
the conference open with his iconic gavel. The exuberance was
floating in the atmosphere, and the eagerness of the delegates
was highly evident. The conference proceeded with relatable
agendas, ranging from Narco-terrorism, World Cup, partition of
Hindustan to Voldemorts rise. Fluent debates were spoken, valid
questions were raised, research work was efficiently executed
and the reaction to the first day was positive. The end of the day
saw smiling faces, beaming with excitement and hoping for a
fun-filled tomorrow.

GENERAL
ASSEMBLY
General Assembly showed many colors on the very first day. It jumped from general speakers list
to moderated caucus every half hour, but the day ended quite happily. The delegates were quick
to get on the GSL, quick to ask and quick to answer. The moderated caucus topics included
narcoterrorism in South America, India and Pakistan. The agenda revolved around Narcoterrorism
and all the countries involved were successfully throwing allegations at each other, and those not
involved, were throwing allegations to the other side. The issue unfortunately made Afghanistan
one of the target countries and the delegate was trapped
from every side, with the same proofs floating in front of him.
Please repeat the question was his safe house! There was
never a dull moment in this committee. Things took a turn
when the emergency was declared, with the Kremlin being
bombed (Mission Impossible 4, part 2!). Unfortunately the time
had come for the day to end, but not to worry delegates, the
battle shall be continued tomorrow.
Thumbs up: The
emergency
was spicy, the delegates were hungry and the EB
was supportive! The committee witnessed an
interesting and debatable agenda and
successfully presented their opinion.
Thumbs down: The delegates had a collective
interest of talking in the committee. Murmurs of
their whispering had to be dismissed at a frequency
of 2 murmurs/min. Combined with this was the
reluctance of a few members to speak!
Rating: Hit!

MINISTRY OF
MAGIC
Ministry of Magic possessed all the necessary ingredients to make a successful committee/make
shift wizarding world. The agenda focused on the question of rise of Lord Voldemort, and
witnessed very interesting arguments and discussions. Thankfully, it was decided that Voldemort
has in fact risen to power, and measures would be taken henceforth. Lucius Malfoy was caught in
a web of allegations, while Dumbledore was seen quoting philosophical dialogues from time to
time (read: fear of the name increases the fear of the thing itself!). Delegates, oops Wizards, of this
committee had transported themselves into the Wizarding World,
and made full use of their magical powers. Spells were flying all
around, from Sonorous to Accio!, their wands did them good! The
agenda of the committee soon shifted to the existence of
dementors, and the consequences of their subsequent removal.
While Harry Potter and Representative of Azkaban were dubious
about the mental strength of Aurors to handle them, others seem
to be hopeful about their efforts. Whilst all this, the Weasley twins,
Fred and George, were focusing on everything else but the
committee; and Prof. Lupin had a lot of chocolate to offer! The
committee ended with a 20 minute session of Point of Entertainment, and you can imagine the
rest. Demands of the EB singing were quite high, while a request for a dueling match between the
Dep. Secretary General and USG GP was unfortunately turned down!
Thumbs up: The executive board was praiseworthy; moving
the committee with an equal balance of fun and
seriousness. The members had dawned the portrait of their
characters, from cloaks to wands, they had it all.
Representative of Hogwarts very skillfully tried to Avada
Kedavra the EB, and well the consequences were not
good! The delegates went home happy and satisfied,
wanting more for the next day!
Thumbs down: The Global Press fails to find any faults with
the Ministry of Magic, perfecto!
Rating: Super hit!

HINDUSTAN
PARTITION
ASSEMBLY
We take a leap to the times of Partition, during the year 1946. The major question of the day was:
karni hai ki nahi? Never ending debates, all the hooting and laughing made the committee quite
fun. The agenda had a wide scope, with the members debating about the practicality of a division
of Hindustan. Mohammed Ali Jinnah was heard saying Pakistan mein sab milta hai!.With only one
issue to discuss on hand, the committee set its pace on the General Speakers List. While things were
going slow in the committee, the ultimate emergency took place, with two of the EB members of
the committee being kidnapped by a terrorist IN the committee. The Chairpersons attempts to hide
under the desk did not succeed. The terrorists were Muslim
extremists, and demanded that a separate nation for the
Muslims be made. Following this, the committee went
haywire. A wonderful statement was made by the Deputy
Secretary General (hes everywhere) as a member of the
committee and had the delegates clapping!

Thumbs up: The committee witnessed some noteworthy

dialogues, with all the members doing an excellent job. The
terrorist attack added a colourful aspect to the period of partition and could not have been pulled
off any better. Despite their EB members getting kidnapped, the members of the house could not
help but laugh!
Thumbs down: After an hour, the committee had slowed its
pace and was clueless about the issue of partition. The
executive boards efforts to bring the committee back to life
showed results after a while.
Rating: Hit!

FIFA
The committee of Federation Internationale De Football Association clearly wins the round of having
the most productive debates. The agenda was simple and quite successful: the question of
rescheduling of Qatar world cup and corruption in FIFA. By default, Qatar was dragged into the
limelight and had a lot of questions to answer. Within 10
minutes, Qatar agreed to reschedule the World Cup
happily! However, the statement was quickly retracted
and then the debate flourished. Delegates were armed
with facts and figures, and were quick to put blames and
allegations. I didnt understand the question and Break
kab hoga? were phrases spoken quite a few times! The
GSL continued with moderated caucus taking half hour of
the session. This committee, too, was a victim of an
unfortunate terrorist attack. The terrorists demanded 30
trillion dollars, and threatened the occurrence of a bomb
blast if Qatar were to continue with holding the World Cup.
Looks like odds were not in favour for the Delegate of Qatar!
Thumbs up: It was interesting, it was dramatic and it was
eventful. The delegates had phones in hand to present the
committee with proofs and left no stone unturned to present
valid points. Things look bright for the next session!
Thumbs down: The only downside to the committee was the
interest of the delegates towards the agenda. A little more
initiative is the way, delegates!
Rating: Goal!

AD-HOC CRISIS:
RAW
RAW is complex, critical and serious. The committee was fast to proceed, without a specific
agenda. The delegates had to be quick on their feet, always ready to make a statement. The
session commenced with the issue of a mole in
the committee, and things got to the point
quite fast. Despite alleging DRDO, allegations
were also directed towards the Deputy
Secretary General! Considering the fact that
he was not present in the committee for some
time, he became the obvious suspect. After
the discussion cleared off, some serious
tragedy hit this committee. A war was started
against Pakistan, not a lucky day for the
delegate! Things got darker with an attack on
the Parliament,
which was followed by a bomb blast in Karnataka and a stock
exchange crash. A sad day in the committee, wasnt it? The delegates
were highly productive with their paper work, and were successful in
preparing 4 communiques, 3 directives and 2 press releases. The
committee was not only tragic, but was also haunted by a mysterious
caller on the landline!
Thumbs up: The Chief of Indian Army took his role very seriously, and
did it well! The EB was efficient and encouraging; the delegates were
shining brightly!
Thumbs down: The only drawback was the number of absentees, had
all the delegates been a part of the committee today, its productivity
could have been enhanced, but none the less, perfect work!
Rating: 4.5/5
