PAZMUN

In memory of PAZMUN 2012

General Assembly
Security Council

When I first arrived to the school on 2010, it was during a period of time where students were getting prepared to develop their MUN, at that time it was call La PAZMUN. I didn’t understand the name at the beginning, however later I understood that the name came out from Instituto La Paz Model of United Nations. I saw that the children were very involved on the model however at that time it was more as a recreational activity rather than an educational activity. Therefore I saw a great chance of opportunities to develop as many abilities as possible on our students for the next years.

Human Rights
At the beginning I talked to my boss who in a matter of weeks became more than a boss a very respectable, wise and in many ways became a teacher for me, but among all my friend. I am talking about Miss Elisabeht Taboada who trusted me and the ideas I shared with her about the MUNS that I knew from my past experiences. Indeed ideas that we were eager to develop on the next years in the Instituto La Paz for the benefit of the students.


These ideas were based on what must be considered for all MUNS., in our humble opinion. 



1.     The creation of concepts beyond the students’ acknowledgements, but at the same time using all what they have been learning all over the years at school to develop a plan of action for the sake of the community.

Commission of Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice
2.     The communication of their ideas based on a proper protocol according to what they are capable of using according to the international standards for a MUN in Middle Schools.

3.     The sharing of ideas in a very respectful and diplomatic atmosphere.

4.     To defend their ideas with and scientific sustainable statements, creating an argument over their own point of view, honoring the Country’s position.

5.     Fomenting the interest on other cultures point of view on international situations.

Commission on Narcotic Drugs
World Health Organization
These points are only a few of many more developed on this PAZMUN, which wouldn’t have been able to accomplish without the participation and unconditional cooperation of our Secretary General Valeria Vigueras Rivera form 4th PAI, who developed a vision for these years PAZMUN 2012 since last year’s vacations. With the hand of her Under-Secretary General Danae Tea Espinosa, of 3rd PAI. Both of them dilled with numerable situations, at moments they were so frustrated looking at these MUN so far from their expectations.
International Children's Emergency Fund
Counter Terrorism
 Never the less with the help of a great team who conformed their Secretariat: Servio Reyes in charge of General Assembly, Manuel Rubio leader of Security Council, David Madrigal president of European Union, Renata Fernandez in charge of Commission of Crime Preventions and Criminal Justice, Victoria Flores leader of World Health Organization, Angelica Arratia President of Commission on Narcotic Drugs, Mariel Garcia in charge of International Children’s Emergency Fund, Joaquin Toledano leader of Counter Terrorism and finally but not least Mayte Gomez president of Environmental Program; all of them together made it happened, with the contribution of their tables whom should be mention by name but there is not enough space to write the 27 names that conformed the list of leaders of the Committees.
European Union
It wouldn’t be fair to close this article without mentioning the help we received by student’s of 5th PEP and 1st PAI, being ushers who managed responsibly and outstandingly well their tasks.

Environmental Programme
Ushers

Summing up all of them, this PAZMUN wouldn’t have been possible without the surprisingly involved cooperation and hard work shown by all the delegates, from the delegates who came from sister schools: Olinca, Green Gates and Colegio del Pilar; as well of the cooperation of Tecnologico del Monterrey and Ex-former students from this Institute. Being always aware that all this would not meant a thing without all the efforts, interest and support of all the DELEGATES from Middle School, who shown an amazing level of use of English and debate abilities accomplishing in all the committees the very best resolution papers of all PAZMUN’s time at Instituto La Paz. Showing the growth of the academic status of our students as well as the interest of the authorities on the evolution of all the stages of acknowledgement and development of our students skills, knowledge and values. 


During the event there were many special moments to point out. So many indeed, that it seems impossible to write about all of them. However I will try to make my best to talk about not the most important ones, but at least of those who seemed to me to give more to think about. 

First of all I would like to talk about the Opening Ceremony, within the one I know there were many mistakes, but without question one of the best moments of all was  the intervention that Rodrigo Maza and Nayelhi Alcázar gave us with a piece composed by Rodrigo Maza himself and adapted for the violin by him, to make this outstanding duet during the ceremony. 


Rodrigo Maza and Nayehli Alcázar



As well I would like to thank Miss Martha Castro the representative of the ONU who served as our guest of honor during the opening ceremony and who gave us a very thoughtful speech, with lots of words that not only made us stop for a moment of reflexion but as well to conserve for out professional and personal lives for the rest of them, when she mention that we must conserve all the knowledge gather at the school, but that we must put it in practice in all our actions, as to promote the respect and good wealth around our communities and for our communities. 

Miss Martha Castro UNO Representative
As soon as the opening finished we were witnesses of the hard work made by all delegates, they began to debate, they defended their ideas with such enthusiasm but most of all with all that knowledge gathered in days before. They shown themselves, not only because they wanted a price, but because at the end they understood and enjoy fighting for what they believed. I am proud to say that not only they were trying to make themselves clear but they were willing to join others point of view as to try to negotiate with them for a better solution of the problematics to be solved. 


In General Assembly we had the participation of students from Green Gates with Timo Kuerten, Olinca with Tonantzin Real Rojas and from  Tecnologico de Monterrey Guillermo Tamayo, making the debate very substantial and critical for those who wanted to stand up, the participation of our students Jallath Carreón, Aldo Torres and René Robles was indeed outstanding from all expectations and for that they were grant with their prices as Honorable Mentions and Special Recognitions, however Timo Kuerten recieved the grant of Best Delegate.


Timo Kuerten receiving his Best Delegate Price
Talking about Security Council, it is a privilege indeed, not only they developed there topics in a notorious way, it took them more than a day to conclude with one of the problematics. This because of the strongly believes of right and wrong that the delegates shown. No matter how long it took them, they created one of the best resolutions ever seen during the Models. With proud we would like to point out that this committee was the most competitive of all and for that Instituto La Paz grants them with the honor of being the BEST Committee. On this committee  won Nayehli Alcázar (2nd PAI) won Special Recognition, Sebastián Salim (2nd PAI) Honorable Mention and as the Best Delegate Alejandro Morán (4th PAI).

INSTITUTO LA PAZ MODEL UNITED NATIONS 2012



DELEGATION:
Spain        
COMMITEE: United Nation Security Council
TOPIC B: Measures to combat terrorism
Delegate: Sebastián de Jesús Salim Rivera





                1)    United Nations Security Council
The main responsibility of the Security Council is to maintain the international peace and security.  It is the only organism that has the capacity to function continuously and a representative of each of its members must be present at all times.  On the 31st of January 1992 was its first meeting.

When a threat to peace is brought before the SC, the Council’s first action is usually to recommend to the parties to try to reach agreement by peaceful means. Sometimes it mediates asking the General Assembly to send members to investigate deeply.

When a dispute was leaded into fighting, the Council’s first concern is to bring it to an end as soon as possible. It sends UNITED NATIONS peace-keeping forces to help to reduce tensions, keeping opposing forces apart trying to create peaceful agreements on the floor. If a violation or negative answer follows, the council decides on enforcement measures, economic sanctions such as trade embargoes or collective military action.

2)    Background

The terrorism is the use of systematic violence by fear or terror to cause a criminal action, in the most part of terrorist attacks the main objective is to cause damage and intimidate victims, the cause of the attacks can be political, religious or ideological disagree with the citizens or governments, in most part of them are responsibility of the criminal organizations of a country. Last 15 years the world has seen many terrorist attacks, such as: 11 September 2001(twin towers), 4 March 2009 (Iraq) 300 innocent deaths.

Nowadays most part of countries has serious problems with crime organizations, nowadays terrorism has become a life style that is consider normal for many people. In it are many styles such as: political, quasi-terrorism or civil terrorism, finally all this types cause the same. Countries are taking actions to combat and prevent terrorism like: USA, Spain, México, Brazil, UK and China just to mention a few.

Countries are making their best to combat the crime organizations trough military forces, and the decisions that countries found to combat terrorism is the violence such as happen whit Iraq that is living a civil war. Other countries that don’t have the enough military power to combat them are only staying quiet while the terrorists act.  
  3)    Spain´s policy and involvement

 In Spain there are serious troubles with terrorism caused by criminal organizations, but with any doubt ETA is the main causative of actual criminal problems. ETA (Euskadi Ta Askatasuna) is a criminal organization considered one of the most dangerous of the globe, founded in 1958 they were looking for the change of regimen in France they had the help of the most part of France and Spain population until they became a terrorism organization. The worst terrorist attack in Spain was on March 11, 2004 ETA attacked 4 trains of the public transportation, leaving only pain and tears on the faces, the results were catastrophic 190 deaths and 1700 injured.

After this Spain realized the true situation that the country is crossing, besides ETA Spain has the presence of local criminal organizations that also impacts the population with attacks, kidnappings and terrorism acts. An example is the kidnapping of a child of 22 months that appeared death in a river after the price of rescue was paid. It is important to refer that Spain has an important participation on the Global congress of security; here Spain was discussing an agreement that provides economical resources to countries that are encouraging criminal organizations, this was a very good idea of the president Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. 

To conclude it is important to say that nowadays, criminal actions by ETA are finished and security has been improved approximately a 4.80% because of the constant government attacks against criminals.

                 4)    Negative consequences of the past solutions

Both ecological and financial risks incorporate several of the characteristics we have enumerated that make risks politically explosive. They go beyond rational calculation into the realm of unpredictable turbulence. Moreover, they embody the struggle over the distribution of ‘goods’ and ‘bads’, of positive and negative consequences of risky decisions. But above all, what they have in common is that their effects are deterritorialized. That is what makes them global risks.

Financial risks are more immediately apparent than ecological risks. A consciousness leap is not required to recognize them. By the same token, they are more individualized than ecological risks.

A further distinction can be made, however, between ecological and financial threats on the one hand, and the threat of global terrorist networks on the other. Ecological and financial conflicts fit the model of modernity’s self-endangerment.

                  5)    Proposals

Spain’s delegation is willing to give more power of combat to the police and army forces, but not only will be focusing on the government’s violence but also my delegation is going to create an intelligence centre that will watch and spy all the criminal organizations in Spain.

Also my government is offering a plan as a new strategy to combat criminal structures focusing on economical attacks. As well Spain will focus on the future generations by improving the actual plan and programs for studying.

Therefore fomenting the values on families and creating conscious about the actual world’s situations. For this Spain hopes that we can create healthy ideas on students to avoid the criminal future actions.
