My name is Valerie Delgado and I have the pleasure to be the Co-Secretary General with Alessia in this conference. I am 17 years old and I am currently a senior at Colegio Italiano Antonio Raimondi. My MUN experience started in November of 2016 with my school’s delegation, participating in Santa María Model UN. Until today, I have participated in a total of 22 conferences either as a delegate or as part of the staff team. Getting involved in MUN has been, without a doubt, one of the best decisions I have taken. It has allowed me to understand new perspectives, meet people who I now consider my close friends and to develop my soft skills. I hope this experience is just as valuable for you and, taking this into consideration, you use your full potential. After all, we want you to have fun, to leave learning something new, making friends or even getting a prom date. The International Universities team, Alessia, and I, during the last two months have dedicated most of our time to prepare the conference and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do. In case you have any doubt, complaint, opinion, or if there is anything you want to tell us, Alessia and I are here for you. See you in October! Valerie Delgado Co-Secretary General International Universities Model United Nations 2019 [email protected] Letter from the Secretary General Welcome everybody! My name is Alessia Lara and I have the honor to be your Co-Secretary General alongside Valerie in this first edition of International Universities Model United Nations 2019. I currently am 16 years old and I am a senior student of Colegio Italiano Antonio Raimondi. It was thanks to the school’s delegation that I got involved in MUN. My first event was back in 2017 and, since that moment, I have not been able to stop going to more conferences as a delegate, chair and part of the Secretariat. For me, IUMUN is still a dream. Sometimes I still ask Valerie if this is truly happening. We want every single one of you, delegates, to be able to enjoy both the conference and the amazing experience of being part of the MUN community. I would like to tell delegates who are participating for the first time in an event to never give up and, when the conference is over, to be able to look back and say that you were able to learn and grow from this new episode. I genuinely hope you get to enjoy MUN as much as we do. We are extremely thankful for International Universities who, for the first time, are organizing an event and uniting schools from all around Lima in a great conference. Valerie and I will be at your disposition all weekend. If any of you have a doubt, suggestion, comment, or just want to say: “Hello!”, do not hesitate to approach us. We will gladly stop to talk to you guys. If you have any further inquiries, please contact us. See you soon! Alessia Lara C. Co-Secretary General International Universities Model United Nations 2019 [email protected] Letter from the Directors: Dear Delegates, Welcome to International Universities Model United Nations 2019 (IUMUN)! My name is Daniela Azmouz and I will have the honor of being one of your Directors during these following days on the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). We are truly excited for this conference, as well as we hope you all come full of energy and anxious to show your skills. To mention a little about myself, I graduated from Villa Maria La Planicie last year, and I am currently studying International Business at Universidad del Pacífico. I joined Peruvian Debate Society (PDS) this year but started doing Model United Nations (MUN) in 2016 when I was still in school, and it was definitely one of the best choices I have ever made. Not only did I got closer to people like Nenni who is now one of my best friends, and got the chance to meet new friends, but I also learned skills that helped me in school and now in university. I hope you all take advantage of this opportunity and learn more each time you debate, because it is really an unforgettable and valuable opportunity. We hope you are all prepared for these three days of debate and we expect to see you all full of willingness to work together, keeping in mind diplomacy and policy. Finally, do not forget to have fun! Both Nenni and I agree that our favorite conferences are not necessarily the ones in which we went with the intention of getting the highest award, but the ones in which we actu ally enjoyed the topic and had the most fun. If during research any question arises regarding the topic in general, position papers, or the committee as a whole, feel free to reach to us to any of the e-mails mentioned in the end of this study guide! We will be pleased to help you. Best wishes and see you all this coming weekend at the conference! :) Daniela Azmouz Co-Chair of United Nations Human Rights Council Letter from the Directors: Dear Delegates, Welcome to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)! My name is Nennele Rivadeneira, and I will have the opportunity of being one of your Directors during these following days on the first edition of International Universities Model United Nations (IUMUN). We are very excited to start this journey with you all, having good expectations of you and hoping that you come with innovative solutions and a lot of desire to debate. For you to get to know me a little better, I graduated from Villa Maria La Planicie last year, and I’m currently studying Law at Universidad de Lima. In my high school years, Model United Nations (MUN) was one of my favorite activities, starting the journey back in 2016 and having the opportunity to debate in both national conferences and some others abroad. Thanks to MUN, I got closer to people I already knew, like Dani, and got to make new amazing friends, being further able to debate together in several opportunities and have lots of fun together. I joined Peruvian Debate Society (PDS) this year and am really excited for the new season ahead of us. Along the years, I have discovered and understood that MUN is an environment for self- development and growth, either as a person or a delegate, helping us gain really useful skills for life; as well as meeting incredible people, so I highly encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity. Azmouz and I cannot wait to meet you, so do your best during your preparation process, and come to committee with your best attitude and desire to make this debate a really fruitful one! Finally, remember to be confident and have fun! We truly hope

Como exalumna de esta casa de estudios, es sumamente gratificante poder participar en la organización de uno de los eventos de Modelo de Naciones Unidas más grandes del país. Soy parte de la familia UP MUN desde el año 2013, año en el cual participé por primera vez como delegada en una competencia de Modelo de Naciones Unidas a nivel universitario. A partir de esta primera experiencia continúe participando en UPMUN como delegada del equipo Peruvian Debate Society en el año 2014, como entrenadora en el año 2016 y directora en el año 2017.

Los Modelos de Naciones Unidas (MUN) son un gran espacio de aprendizaje académico y personal. Las experiencias dentro y fuera de comité, relacionadas al MUN, son algunas de aquellas que más me han desafiado y en las cuales logré conocerme mejor a través de mis distintas facetas como delegada, entrenadora y ahora buscando transmitir, en una conferencia, gran parte de estas experiencias en solo 3 días.

Introduction At its sixth session, the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues recommended that an expert undertake a comparative study on the subject of boarding schools.1 This report provides a preliminary analysis of boarding school policies directed at indigenous peoples globally. Because of the diversity of indigenous peoples and the nation-states in which they are situated, it is impossible to address all the myriad boarding school policies both historically and contemporary. Boarding schools have had varying impacts for indigenous peoples.

Cuestiones que se deben responder 8. Documento de Postura 9. Referencias Letter From the Secretary General Dear Delegates and Faculty Advisors, Last year the Casuarinas Debate Team organized our first Model United Nations conference called CASMUN, and once again it is an honor to have you back with us. It has not been too long since the Casuarinas Debate Team started, and since then having our own Model UN competition was a goal: a difficult one, but not impossible to achieve. In 2020, we were planning to organize the conference at our school, following the measures for what appeared to be only a 3 month quarantine. However, because of the Covid-19 pandemic we were forced to organize a virtual conference, which we were able to accomplish through the hard work of our Faculty Advisors and the Casuarinas Debate Team. This year is no different, and with much more experience in hand, we are organizing another virtual conference full of dedication, enthusiasm and transparency in order to offer all delegates a suitable space for self expression and formal discussions. Casuarinas Model UN is the result of the effort of many people, including our Faculty Advisors, your committee chairs, and all the members of our Secretariat who volunteered to participate. Personally, I would like to thank them all in advance for their commitment. Finally, I would like to point out that Model United Nations is about having fun and learning not only about global issues, but also acquiring and improving soft skills that will benefit delegates in the long term.

Review of action and activities by United Nations organs and agencies, Governments and NGOs · Conclusions Annex: - Plan of Action for the Elimination of Harmful Traditional Practices Affecting the Health of Women and Children - Select Bibliography Introduction The Charter of the United Nations includes among its basic principles the achievement of international cooperation in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion (Art. 1, para. 3). In 1948, three years after the adoption of the Charter, the General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,(1) which has served as guiding principles on human rights and fundamental freedoms in the constitutions and laws of many of the Member States of the United Nations. The Universal Declaration prohibits all forms of discrimination based on sex and ensures the right to life, liberty and security of person; it recognizes equality before the law and equal protection against any discrimination in violation of the Declaration.

Topic B: Protection and guarantee of involuntarily displaced people’s human rights and cultural heritage 6. References Dear delegates, faculty advisors and MUN enthusiasts, It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to MUNUR 2016! I am more than excited to serve as this year’s director for SOCHUM. My name is Oriana Roberto and I’m studying chemical engineering at Universidad Simón Bolívar in Caracas, Venezuela. Even though my major is far from what we discuss at MUNs, being a part of WorldMUN is perhaps my favorite way to spend my time. The people, the topics, and the experience are all incredible pieces of a truly phenomenal activity, little did I know that this kind of activity would transform the way I see the world and give me the best weekends of my whole life. My goal for MUNUR 2016 is just that, to transform the way people see the world. I am thrilled to be chairing the Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural Committee of the General Assembly. This year, we have the chance to delve into two of the many current issues affecting people worldwide—social impact of the genetic modification on human embryos and protection and guarantee of involuntarily displaced people human rights and cultural heritage. They are topics of enormous significance, and I hope that each one of you brings a distinctive and incredibly valuable perspective to the conference. I am confident that together we can have the opportunity to shape that change you want to see in the world.

My name is Claudia Herbert Colfer and I will have the pleasure to be the Director of the Special Political and Decolonisation Committee (SPECPOL). I was born in Lima but, currently, I live in the United Kingdom where I study Politics and International Relations at the University of Bath. Aside from academics, I consider MUN to be my favourite extracurricular activity. I have been involved in it since high school and I have participated in PUCP MUN for the past two years: I was delegate of SOCHUM in 2013 and, last year, the Director of the Security Council. Model United Nations is one of the most rewarding activities I have ever done: it is not only a fantastic opportunity to get to know many young and motivated people from all over the world but it also is a great chance to improve negotiation skills and to gain valuable knowledge. I will always be eager to attend as many conferences as possible. Nonetheless, whenever I am not chairing or debating, I love learning new languages, dancing salsa, watching Friends and spending time with friends. I just want to say that I am really excited about this conference and I am sure that the level of debate will be extremely high. I am looking forward to meeting you all in person.
