FJCC-iran Cabinet fduimun First Update 2012 B Welcome Letter from the Director Dear delegates, Welcome to the Future Joint Crisis Cabinets at FDUIMUN 2012. My name is Qianli Xiao and I will be assuming the academic director of this year’s FJCC. In 2012, the Joint-crisis system decides to shift its focus to the imminent future and plot the story in one of the most war-prone zones in the world: The Middle East. The Future Joint Crisis Cabinets will operate under “Future Security Council—Cabinets” model and divide delegates into five subcommittees: the Future Security Council, US Cabinet, Israel Cabinet, Iran Cabinet, and the Risk Management Corporation, a third party think-tank institute. The cabinets will focus mostly on evaluating current situation, prepare for military, designating domestic and foreign policies, and respond to various incidents and developments on the Iranian nuclear program. The Future Security Council, on the other hand, will operate as a diplomatic intermediary and respond to the development of the crisis. The Risk Management Corporation, a fictitious think-tank agency, will provide third-party intelligence service based on its “undisclosed yet genuine” information sources. The three-day, seven-session long conference endeavors to avoid the seemingly inevitable war- fare in the Middle East, and the ultimate goal of a successful conference shall witness the pres- ence of a peaceful agreement from all parties involved in the crisis. During the fast-paced and work-intensive conference, you are expected to deal with disputable information, make decisions with a mature political vision, and respond to ever-changing situation with poised and reason- able judgments. Finally, as the academic director of the Future Joint Crisis Cabinets, I would like to deliver my warmest welcome and gratitude to all of you for choosing FJCC at FDUIMUN 2012. Look forward to see you in Shanghai. Sincerely, 肖千里 Qianli “Robinson” Xiao Bates College ’13 Director--FJCC, FDUIMUN 2012 fduimun | BE THE CHANGE. FJCC-Iran Cabinet First Update fduimun 2012 C Welcome Letter from the Cabinet Dear delegates, It’s our distinct pleasure to welcome you to the Iranian Cabinet at FDUIMUN 2012 FJCC. We ex- tend our greatest honor to be your dais in the coming sessions, in which you will be challenged on your wisdom, responsiveness, capability and cooperation. During the thrilling sessions of the Iranian nuclear crisis, you will, as well, enjoy the process of confrontation, negotiation, and pos- sibly concession. The dais will collaborate with all delegates to the common goal of achieving a feasible method to avoid the possible war on nuclear. Besides, your excellent skill of diplomacy is always highlighted, basing on a thorough understanding of the topic, given references and what can be collected apart from the given updates. FJCC indicates that more research and excellent role playing, especially when facing a sudden update of the crisis, are extremely necessary. In the conference, you’ll face considerable amount of known and unknown issues, reports from certain agencies, intelligence from seemingly cred- ible sources, spontaneous information from the Security Council, and so on. Your capability of processing information will be vital for any information given, be it domestic, regional, or interna- tional. A thorough preparation is vital for your success at this year’s FJCC. You are required to look into depth on the nuclear program of Iran, diplomatic concerns and military condition of the coun- try. We hope you can enjoy this conference and harvest friendship and academic skills in FDUI- MUN2012.
