The Amity International Model United
Nations was held from 19th-20th November. It was one
experience that I (a.k.a. the delegate of Myanmar) will always remember. From
the mock sessions in school to the final day, it was a wonderful and an
enjoyable experience. The team that went from PSN went with an aim to learn and
participate in an atmosphere which comprised of people all over the world. The
mock sessions were a huge help, where we got a practice of how an MUN session
would be when in process. From the first day, we adopted the formal title of
‘delegates’ and were anxious yet nervous. The Opening Ceremony contained a
series of speeches and the official opening of the MUN conference by the
Secretary General. During the first session, we were listening to each debate
with our ears wide open. The ambience was a serious one, with the delegates
fighting their cases against each other. At the end of the day, it was a result
which was surprising to see, that all the delegates had only one thing to say:
“WOW, what a wonderful experience”.
Day two, and we were off to the campus,
to face another long and tiring, but exciting day. The breaks in between the
sessions provided us with the time to make & interact with friends.
Everyone was mesmerized with the way the
members of the Executive board spoke, with the help of their lexicon and
knowledge, they were sounding similar to actual political leaders. They had
their facts right in place, and knew everything about UN inside out. The day
ended with a final decision hanging in the air, with the choice of having to
pass one out of three different resolutions.
Come the third and sadly, final day of
the MUN, it was sure a disappointment that this grand event was coming to an
end, but as they say “good things come to an end quickly”, everybody made full
use of the day with the delegates participating to their best potential &
capability. After three hard working days, the committee was a great success
with the passing of the final resolution. The event was ended with a splendid
speech given by the chairperson of Amity. Soon after, the award ceremony was in
process, with the delegates of USA bagging about four different awards.
I would like to conclude this by saying
that this was one MUN (the first for most of us) that we will always cherish
and learn from. We left the conference, having learnt a lot, with the hope that
PSN will be a part of those going up on the stage next time.
