IN CASE YOU MISSED IT Security Council (SC) During the third and last day in the Security Council, the UNEA committee came to discuss a futuristic crisis they were having in which the delegations of Ethiopia and England were willing to negotiate with the Islamic state due to a water crisis in 2030 for which the delegate of China proposed an embargo that would economically destroy both countries, so they agreed to apply economic sanctions that wouldn’t cause such an extreme impact on their economies and a resolution passed.
The Security Council then continued debating about the Syrian civil war. The Syrian delegation has expressed their willing to accept any sort of aid from their allies, as well as their absolute opposition towards any action that the delegation of the United States may plan on doing to intervene in the Syrian civil war.

In the middle of an informal debate, the delegates of United States and Singapore from the UNEA committee arrived in the conference room to discuss a crisis with the SC committee in which the Islamic state organization kidnapped the delegate of Germany and threatened the other delegates saying that if they didn’t negotiate with the delegation representing the Islamic state they would be in great danger. There was then a voting process in which the delegates from the SC abstained from voting for a military intervention against the Islamic state. After the delegates from UNEA left, the delegates from the Security Council started writing their working papers.
Meanwhile, the President and some delegates from the ECOSOC committee came in the room because they wanted to place an embargo to the United States delegation over a crisis in which President Donald J. Trump had closed all of the country’s borders and deported both legal and illegal immigrants, but the embargo did not pass as the US government had technically not violated any international law. When the visitors from ECOSOC left the room, the working papers were presented and none of them passed. Finally, due to its neutral position, the delegation of Japan presented a press release and the session was closed.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT Economical and Social Council (ECOSOC) The day opened with a crisis. The president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump, came in and had a message to inform which was that he believed that these last of free trade policies were responsible for the collapse in the American manufacturing industry. So he cut all economic relationships by taking protectionism as it economic model. This idea was only follow by the delegation of North Korea who strongly believed that protectionism was the best way to make the countries’ economy stronger and this would bring more jobs

followed Germany’s idea of cutting all economic relationships with United States and obligate US to pay his external debt. Greece threatened to cut the cotton market. Later the delegation of Bolivia cut economic relationships with US and decided to open FTA with UK. The tension was clear, US position couldn't change as the president was the one who established the deal, so the delegation had no choice other than to convince the other delegations that this decision was not that bad, but she fail.

Later a new crisis came, a press communicate said that US was going to make an expulsion of all emigrants. Countries such as Bolivia and Colombia defended the idea on how protectionism was not a good choice for growing countries, as they were trying to advance in the international market.
The delegation of United States of America stayed firm with her position and when the working papers came, the working paper that passed, which results were 11-2, was supported by all the countries, protections was not a choice, and countries such as Germany, England, Greece, France were willing to make economic deals with countries offering FTA deals.Â

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT United Nations Evironment Assembly (UNEA) The last day of CNC MUN in UNEA started with a crisis. The delegate of Germany was kidnapped by the Islamic state. The delegates were arguing between accepting the demands made by Isis or excluding totally from this country; delegate such as China, USA and Saudi Arabia were against any interaction with the Islamic state, saying the president of Germany was in danger and it was a priority to help protect the corresponding country.
Also, the delegate of China argued that there was no way to trust this country, having any type of association with them was not viable, water imported could be poisoned or the country could just decide to attack. However, the delegate of the Islamic state responded to the accusations saying he would accept any refugees and offering cheaper water to those countries which were in a dissatisfactory economic situation.
President of Germany was kidnapped as expected by Isis. After not being able to get to a definite solution some of the delegates were taken to Security Council.

Delegate of USA offered help to other delegates in any way but focused on the exportation of water, Delegation of Costa Rica declared the country would accept young refugees who can help bring up the economy; delegation of Islamic state kept changing the deal and dropping the cost of water, saying it was cheaper and cleaner in response,

and Isis would attack for sure; delegations agreed not to cut connections with the country mentioned before, but they would not accept any treats until verifying if it was viable.
Delegations presented the resolutions and agreed with the majority of them; examples such as, “Authorizes the creation of a global fund of financial aid for every nation belonging to the UN directed towards water accessibility and quality improvement, in which countries found in economic crisis are allowed to return to their economic stability before remunerating the fund”; 20 minutes later delegations voted and with a motion the debate was closed.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT Historical Crisis Cabinet (HCC) In this session all different positions were around the Yom Kippur War, where basically Egyptian and Syrian troops invaded Israel to supposedly get back their lands. Thanks to this event the debate divided into two positions, the first one where Israel and the American Empire (It is called American Empire and not USA thanks to the CIA who had the absolute control of the territory) thought it was horrible that Israel people were being killed by other nation’s people as Egypt and Syria who wanted Israel’s lands. On the other hand, there are the delegations of USSR, Egypt and Syria which pointed out they just wanted their lands back in a peacefully way.
In a press communicate it was said that delegations such as France and the American Empire sent troops for helping Israel in their conflict, thanks to this the table officially announced a war state. Both positions kept defending their point which carried delegations such as China to send troops for Israel for helping them. As the conflict kept going on, delegations were not searching for a solution instead of that, the Soviet Union Premier decided to attack the American Empire and France. Also, after this event, Netherlands threated USSR if USA or France was attacked.
THE EYE OF THE OWL
As it was said before the main problem was the debate if Egypt and Syria could take Israel’s lands arguing they deserved them. At the end, both points of view made their own resolution but none of them was selected because 1 of the veto power (USSR) was against the other 4 veto powers (France, UK, China and the American Army). In consequence, the situation would not change.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC) During the last day, in the DISEC committee, a crisis was made in which a president of the INTERPOL said that China has kidnapped some soldiers to be part of its experiments. They were soldiers from France, Germany and Russia in which the governments approved the experimentations. After that, a formal debate was made in which China stated that it is needed to make an easier life in a battlefield, and it also claims that the action the crisis pointed to was correct and needed, supported completely by Russia and the reason it failed was because it is an experiment so it is not a hundred percent effective.Â
DISEC passed through another crisis, made by a superhuman, in which he stated that he was superior to any delegate or person present in the committee. At the same time it challenged any delegate to take a pill and become a superhuman, proving the experiment being aware that it could have two possible chances, either the human tested could become a person with suicidal ideas or he will succeed. As it did, the vicepresident took the lead on that idea, and he became a superhuman, that made Canada made a press release in which states that it is going to get their security better joining with China.
THE EYE OF THE OWL
Another press release was made, in this case by Germany, which said that its constitution is going to be change so everything could make sense, which created conflict until China decided to show its press release in which they said that the super soldiers are going to invade all country, also saying that it wants to go out of the United Nation, because they believe they have a better race, they state they are superior, which made everyone be against China’s believes, this was taken to the Secretary General who said that China is not going to be removed from the United Nations and that he won’t have any consequences such as losing vote nor voice, after a lobby time, a resolution was given by Germany and Russia as head of blocks. They reaffirm the fact that enhancements should not be considered weapons. Brazil and Turkey made a press release which said that considering that enhancing soldiers in order to create military weapons must be consider a strictly forbidden, because its level of danger.

Después de varios minutos en lobby time, los delegados entraron en discusión con Corea del Norte, ya que la mayoría de los delgados quieren sacar a este país, puesto que están en contra de sus decisiones e ideas ante este problema que la mayoría de países están tratando de buscar soluciones. Es por eso que estos planteamientos llevó a cabo diferencia de pensamientos y eso llevó a que se dividiera en tres bloques: el primero compuesto únicamente por Corea del Norte, donde realizara el como único país un comunicado de prensa, el segundo bloque creado está compuesto por el resto de los países como Brasil, Pakistán, etc… y por ultimo otro comunicado de prensa presentado por el país de Venezuela.

El segundo bloque argumenta la intención democrática de los pueblos como un modelo para la mayoría, y no a la minoría, y como esta intención ha comprometido positivamente el desarrollo de las naciones y ha conllevado el bien común en la mayoría de personas conformando a Latinoamérica.
