LETTERS OF WELCOME From the Secretary-General
On behalf of the organising team, it is with the greatest of pleasure that I welcome you to the 17th Asia-Paci�ic Model United Nations Conference (AMUNC), at The Australian National University and the High Court of Australia. It is a privilege to bring AMUNC to Canberra for the �irst time in the conference’s history. AMUNC holds a reputation as one of the region’s most prestigious events for empowered and aspirant leaders, originating from the Asia-Paci�ic region and beyond. This year you are joining 600 of the most accomplished university students in their �ields, for a week of high diplomacy and dialogue in the heart of the nation.

The week is encapsulated by our theme, ‘Common bonds for a common endeavour’. This re�lects the commitment made by the United Nations in declaring 2010-2011 as the International Year of the Youth (IYY). It draws together the aims of promoting the ideals of peace, respect for human rights and freedoms, and solidarity, through dialogue and mutual understanding. IYY brings out the determination of youth across all cultures and parts of the globe to unite in tackling the problems universally faced by today’s global society. AMUNC 2011 celebrates this proclamation as a forum of academic excellence, youth diplomacy and crosscultural exchange. We live in an extraordinary time of tough challenges, which offers extraordinary opportunities for change. As delegates, I challenge you to harness energy, initiative, creativity and patience to achieve diplomatic progress and resolution. Without the two key pillars of support, delivering AMUNC would not have been possible. The �irst is the strong collaboration with The Australian National University, the ANU Of�ice of the Vice-Chancellor, ANU College of Asia & the Paci�ic, ANU College of Law, ANU College of Business and Economics, ANU College of Arts & Social Sciences, The High Court of Australia, AusAID and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. With our key stakeholders we aim to cultivate and showcase academic excellence and produce the leaders of tomorrow. The second pillar is the dedication and passion exuded by our Host Team of 30 people; all of whom have given their utmost commitment over the past 11 months. For the entire process, from bidding to hosting, we are endlessly grateful for their enthusiasm, optimism and dedication.

Model UN offers the ideal platform for the opportunity to engage �irst-hand with some of the greatest problems that challenge contemporary human society. From international security, law or economics to health or the environment, you will face these issues from the seat of a global leader, whilst also working with the intricacies of the UN. AMUNC presents an opportunity to explore talented minds and new ways of thinking, not only amongst the exceptional calibre of dialogue but also with inspiring high-pro�ile speaker panels, which provide a wealth of knowledge and experience.
It is truly an honour to be able to build on the great legacy of AMUNC, and bring the 17th session to you in the nation’s capital. Throughout this week, expect to be challenged to reach new heights, and be inspired to discover more about the potential of yourself and the world around you. We hope that you will embrace the opportunity to forge life-long friendships and take action on your dreams!

LETTERS OF WELCOME
From the Dean of the ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences
On behalf of the ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences (CASS) it is a great pleasure to welcome you to Canberra and for our College to support AMUNC 2011. Participation in model United Nations activities allows you to explore and engage in dialogue on a number of important issues. The global community faces many shared challenges, including issues surrounding state sovereignty, poverty, development, security, social inclusion. These important issues in the contemporary world require our graduates to be skilled at working across disciplinary boundaries, to be collaborative and problem focused.

CASS is well placed to interrogate contemporary social and political issues and to train students for a productive contribution to these challenges. Our future policy makers and business leaders will need to be exposed to the way in which interdisciplinary frameworks, methods and critiques can provide the public and private sector with imaginative but workable solutions to major social issues. Understanding labour markets, the drivers and social impact of immigration, the essence of good governance, the causes of social welfare and justice problems, the need for human capital, the agendas for social inclusion and the integration of Australia into global debates about the form and structure of post-recession societies now requires a responsive multidisciplinary approach. CASS is proud of the contribution our teaching and research programs in the social sciences, humanities and the creative arts make to preparing students to engage productively with the major issues of our time. I encourage you to consider your options for study and further research in these �ields and many more at the ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences. I congratulate the organisers of this event, and wish you all an enjoyable and rewarding week.

The ANU College of Law has long been known for its expertise and leadership in public and international law, and its strong ethos of educating students for public service. Our aspiration at the ANU College of Law, and our aspiration for our students, is to 'make a difference'; and AMUNC provides you with a wonderful opportunity to begin to do that, as you engage with the big questions that confront the world today and seek solutions, or partial solutions, that have the potential to make a contribution to better international relations and to a fairer and more just and equitable world. May your idealism be undiminished by often harsh reality of human behaviour and the selfinterest of nation states, and by the pragmatism you will need to negotiate incremental advances.
I hope that your week with us will give you some insight into the role of international law in providing a framework for international relations, and that, one day, you might be tempted to explore what we can offer you at the ANU College of Law to deepen your understanding even further. In the meantime, I wish you all the best for a stimulating and constructive week, as a precursor to a satisfying and productive career. With best wishes

The Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) administers Australia’s overseas aid program, a program that is improving the lives of millions of people in developing countries. Australia's aid program focuses on the Asia Pacific region. We are internationally recognised for our leading role in the region, particularly in PNG and the Pacific. Our aid is even more important given two-thirds of the world’s poor—some 800 million people—live in the Asia Pacific, yet they receive less than one third of global aid. Australia also provides assistance to Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean. Our aid to Africa has increased significantly in recent years and now represents around five per cent of the aid program.

History of AMUNC
Established in 1995 as the 'Australian Model United Nations Conference', the history of AMUNC is long, prestigious, and of empowered youth leadership, but also to a certain extent shrouded in the mists of time. Inaugurally hosted by the University of New South Wales, it was believed that the original conference was comprised of only a single General Assembly, contrasting starkly with the AMUNC of today.

It is known that during AMUNC's early years, the conference alternated between Sydney and Melbourne, gradually growing in size, eventually leaving the south eastern states in 2004, for James Cook University, Queensland, and eventually overseas in 2007, to Auckland University, Having been founded prior to Google, the widespread use New Zealand.

Each year, AMUNC comes alive with the spirit of the UN, peaceful international dialogue and youth empowerment.
AMUNC 2011 aims to celebrate academic excellence, diplomatic progress and diversity, through insightful committee sessions and exciting social events.
AMUNC 2011 Handbook
AMUNC 2011 brings Model UN as a solid platform to the Australian National University and Canberra for the first time. Many of the socials will take place in national institutions, showcasing Australia’s history and national treasures.
A number of innovative changes will be seen at AMUNC 2011. The introduction of the ILC acknowledges the importance of emerging legal principles, whilst the use of the High Court of Australia offers a unique experience to the delegates of the Legal Committees. For the first time the Security Council and Crisis Council are accountable to each other. The interactivity between the two committees gives greater depth to the topics at hand. In addition the Committees portfolio has expanded to include AMUNC’s first intelligence agency. The dynamism of committee debate during the week culminates into the General Plenary Session, which will present delegates with a surprising twist. The Outreach portfolio has been enlarged; now encompassing succession planning in order to strengthen the future of AMUNC. The portfolio aims to consolidate the framework of institutional memory developed by the Host Teams of 2009 and 2010, combining the experience of strong delegations with the burgeoning number of new delegations joining AMUNC for the first time in 2011.

Conference Theme
“Common bonds for a common endeavour”
The theme this year encapsulates values that have underpinned the United Nations since its foundation, as well as the linkages that have grown throughout the wider Model United Nations community. The values of the United Nations, fostering linkages across diverse cultures and communities, reconciling divides, and supporting our shared humanity, have for decades been promoted by Model United Nations conferences around the world, and since 1995 by the Asia-Pacific Model United Nations Conference. This year being the International Year of AMUNC is both a celebration Youth draws particular emphasise to youth issues, and the unrivalled opportunity that youth engagement and and demonstration of youth empowerment brings to the efforts to overcome the empowerment and the great challenges of our age.

The concepts of global citizenship, international community, and empowered dialogue to reach innovative solutions to global challenges, are what has been the cornerstone of the AMUNC experience. This evolution in themes, of We the Peoples in 2010, and Towards Global Civilisation in 2009, culminating this year with Common bonds for a common endeavour, reflects the progression of global dialogue and understanding of the dynamic world we live in, while paralleling the coming of age of a generation of youth leaders.

Diversity in thinking and tolerance in debate, contributing to enhancing global peace and development by the next generation, has been, and continues to be, the purpose of the Asia-Paci�ic Model United Nations Conference.
Coinciding with the International Year of Youth, the slogan 'our year, our voice' aligns with the objectives of AMUNC, of fostering a sense of empowerment to become involved and advocate solutions to global challenges, and support delegates with a responsive and caring conference environment to achieve this.

The Global Speakers’ Forum will debate the effect of terrorist attacks on the psyche and agenda of the United Nations, climate change and the international economy, and the marketing of the idea and purpose of the United Nations. Topic breakdowns are listed below.
Source: Australian Capital Tourism
Topic 1: Ten years on – the indelible effect of 9/11 on the internationalist psyche In September, the international community will commemorate the tenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. The attacks have challenged the assembly of nations in any number of ways – and indeed they question the strength of the international community and the United Nations itself. The panel will examine the enduring effect of 9/11 on the international community and question the capacity of a collective international community to respond to ideological challenges. Topic 2: Climate change and the economy – the more important green In a policy area where there are many more questions than answers, the second topic in AMUNC’s speaker panel series shall discuss the challenges that face both domestic and international negotiations on climate change. How can negotiations maintain their authenticity and inclusivity without derailing a broader agenda to achieve timely action? The panel shall explore international morale and norms in global environmental politics and how these factors effect domestic and regional negotiations.

Topic 3: How to sell the ‘big’ idea of the United Nations
}
We must get men to conceive of the international idea; to think more internationally. There are two great civilizing in�luences in this direction; travel and education. By travel a man loses much of its narrow insularity. By education he can be drawn toward broader and more generous ideals of human life. If we are to succeed in our task of attaining a larger internationalisation of the world, we must use these tools that lie to our hand.
C
- Major Eliot Crawshay-Williams, 1917.
In today’s world, we can travel with relative ease and our education rates have improved; yet the internationalist idea and agenda of the United Nations is frequently drawn into question. The effectiveness, centrality and power of a deliberative assembly of nations have been debated since the inception of the United Nations over 65 years ago. The question therefore is, how should the idea of the United Nations be marketed in the 21st Century?

The University's Security Section is located in the John Yencken Building (building 45, map reference 4E). Officers patrol the campus and are on call round the clock to deal with enquiries and provide assistance and support.

Secretariat
Contributing to the AMUNC community in a positive manner includes respecting the wide diversity of delegates, who come from various different countries and backgrounds. Remember that all points of view have validity and merit, in conversation both within and outside of committee sessions. All AMUNC participants are reminded that their conduct of behaviour is expected to uphold the principles of AMUNC and the spirit of the UN, to ensure that all attendees enjoy a safe and memorable conference. Grievance Procedure If a delegate feels that they have been insulted or discriminated against by another member of the AMUNC community, they should feel comfortable with attempting to resolve the issue themselves, or with the help of their Director. However if this has been unsuccessful, or a delegate would like further assistance, they are more than welcome to approach either the Delegate Relations team or another member of Secretariat. Both are located in the Conference Hub or contactable via the Delegate Welfare line. Any conversation will be held with the strictest confidentiality and in accordance with principles of both AMUNC and the ANU.
