Syria Iraq Refugees-UNHCR Study Guide STUDY GUIDE UNITED NATIONS HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR REFUGEES (UNHCR) THE SITUATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST: REFUGEES IN SYRIA AND IRAQ Hello delegates! Welcome to the first edition of the Villa Maria Model United Nations! My name is Eduardo Dibos, and I will be the director of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for this VMMUN 2015. The UNHCR is one of the most important United Nations organisms given that refugees originate every day, and each and every one of them needs humanitarian aid. The issues we are going to discuss affects directly the lives of millions of people, making it an incredible relevant topic nowadays. Everyone agrees on the importance of humanitarian action, but we are interested to see on how you can develop diferent solutions to the problems this issue poses. Now I will tell you a little more about myself. I graduated school from Colegio Santa Maria Marianistas in 2013 and I am currently in my second year of Bussiness Management at Universidad del Pacífico. When I am not trying to pass all my courses at university I enjoy going out with my friends, staying at my house watching series or a football game on TV, listening to punk rock music, sleeping and also travelling. I also have passion for international relations and politics and I try to be updated with as many news as I can, either in national or international issues. The first time I had the chance to become involved in MUN was in high school, where I participated in LiMUN 2013. Starting doing MUN gave me the possibility to connect with relevant international issues and politics at a very young age, encouraging me to keep debating at university level. Furthermore, I participated in UPMUN 2014 and USIMUN 2014, after joining Peruvian Debate Society, an amazing group with which I had the luck to prepare to participate at Harvard National Model United Nations Latin America 2015 (Lima, Peru) and Harvard National Model United Nations 2015 (Boston, USA). MUN has given me the chance to develop many skills, meet incredible people and change the way I see the world. I have incredible memories of the first time I debated, and I know this will be the first MUN for many of you, so don’t doubt that myself, along with Francesca Sabroso and Abigail Espinosa, will try to make this experience incredible and unique for you. I look forward to meet you all! See you at Villa Maria on June 5th! Sincerely, Eduardo Dibos Director of the UNHCR Villa María Model of United Nations 2015 [email protected] Dear delegates, It’s our pleasure to welcome you all to the first Villa Maria Model United Nations conference. We are Francesca Sabroso and Abigail Espinosa, your assistant directors for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees committee. Francesca: Welcome to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees committee! My name is Francesca Sabroso, and I’m delighted to be co directing this committee with Eduardo and Abigail at Villa Maria Model United Nations. MUN is an adventure where you’ll be able to develop numerous skills, learn about important global issues and meet incredible people, all while you’re having a blast. I have attended numerous MUN conferences throughout my school life including two international conferences held by Harvard University and all I can say, is that it’s been awesome!. I’m currently a student at Pontificia Universidad Católica del Peru yet I'm still discovering what my real passion is and future career will be. In my free time I love to play different sports, watch Game of Thrones and hang out with my friends, pretty much enjoy the simplicity of life. I’m really looking forward to make VMMUN 2015 a great experience with all of you, remember that what really matters is to have fun! Abigail: My name is Abigail Espinosa and I hope this will be an experience you’ll always remember and cherish. MUN has given me so many opportunities, such as meeting amazing people from all around the world. It has taught me how to work along with others in order to be able to find a solution. I’m so thankful for everything I’ve learned during this journey, and that’s why I want you to enjoy it as much as you can. I wish you the best to you all and hope we achieve our goals. Apart from MUN I enjoy reading a lot, I like to read romances of any kind, I also love to cook and bake different and creative plates. I love experimenting with the tastes and different condiments. I try to enjoy life as much as I can that’s why I have a passion for photography and art. I think art is the best way someone can express their feelings, and I believe life is about that. This is a committee with high potential, for what we’re really looking forward to work with you and debate about one of the most pressing issues today: The Situation of Refugees from Syria and Iraq. In preparing for this exciting committee, we strongly encourage you to go beyond the study guide in your research. The study guide is intended to serve as a jumping-off point for your research. Preparation, combined with creativity and enthusiasm, will ensure that you get the most out of your experience at our conference. We wish you luck in your preparation, and cannot wait to see what you bring to our conference in June! Hope to see you all there! Sincerely, Francesca Sabroso and Abigail Espinosa Assistant Directors of the UNHCR Villa María Model of United Nations 2015 [email protected] I.

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.

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.
