Tulip: Genus Tulipa, cultivated bulbous herb in the family Liliaceae. It has given its name to two historical periods (Duth Tulip mania, Ottoman Tulip period) and a recent revolution (Kyrgyz Tulip revolution). It is also going to leave its mark on ThessISMUN, as staff members rush from committee to committee to deliver the coveted flower. Tulips, apart from their primary use carrying messages of love-, may also be used to appease contesters, bridge differences, cement alliances. In this context, they become an instrument of nations’ foreign policies, thus fitting in an MUN’s role to simulate active diplomacy.

The initial idea was to find a way to raise some money for a philanthropic cause while having fun! The flower game turned to be a great success! There were 230 tulips delivered yesterday and there will be many more to follow! There were flowers delivered from delegates to Chairs,

TASTING AT THE
Yesterday’s committees’ sessions ended with a surprising and exciting event in the City Hall. Dr. Paroula Naskou Perraki and all the delegates were singing, drinking wine and having fun waiting for the arrival of Mr Boutaris. (Mayor of Thessaloniki). Many delegates had the opportunity to introduce themselves and share their previous MUN experiences with each other. Among them was the delegate who won the “Mr. Flower” title because he received a record of 10 tulips!!

The event completed after a brief and warmhearted speech given by the Mayor. Mr. Boutaris welcomed the participants of this years ThessIS to Thessaliniki, suggested that they should seize this opportunity to enjoy themselves and wished them good luck with the sessions. Apart from the fun and the wine (!!), Mr. Boutaris’ invitation and his kind hospitality, was a great honor for the delegates of ThessISMUN and left a warm feeling to everybody.

On its first official day, the 1st Committee decided early in the morning to discuss “Disarmament, Demobilization and Demining: Prerequisites for Peace and Development in Africa”. The day featured long debates, many failed motions, but also some considerable progress towards specific measures. The delegates began by stating their country’s view on the subject at hand, but it was the Syrian delegation that first managed to have its “3 stage plan” discussed in a moderated caucus. One of the countries hich really had a dramatically different view on the subject was the U.S.A., which refused to acknowledge the linkage between disarmament and devel-

As regards to the suggested solutions for the financial crisis, 2 specific countries were given as examples: Japan and Italy. Japan was claimed to have a sustainable economy in spite of the current economical crisis in Euro Zone. For all the countries available in UN, World Bank and IMF are considered as the important financial powers.

Syria emphasized that all participating countries must find the will to fight against the real terrorism. Therefore, the Syrian Ambassador called all members of the Council to agree that there is a civil war intra muros and asked for substantial help. Among the countries not in favour of Syria, USA noted that Syria has still a lot of work to do with outgoing
ATLANTIC COUNCIL
With an unexpected turn of events, the first official session of the North Atlantic Council came to an end. Delegates from all 28 countries gathered today to discuss a very serious and crucial subject: the evolving relations between NATO and Asia. All delegates presented their ideas, motions and thoughts on primary situations that are connected with the subject. Both moderated and unmoderated caucuses took place in the whole procedure of the second session. The Board marked out the most significant points and
helped the delegates by reminding them some fundamental points of the procedure.
While the Council reached a consensus on the categorization of the discussion issues, a major crisis erupted; a terrorist attack against an ISAF base in
refugees. What the majority of the members accepted as a solution is the defence of the borders and the placement of more observers, so as to assure the maximum security in the country, at least till the elections of the 7th of May. When suggestions turned favourable for Syria, it was asked from the Chair to remove all observers (including the press representative) from the session, so as to conclude on the necessary measures that need to be taken. The epilogue of the intensive discussion was given by an exchange of flowers among the members of Security Council and members of other committees.

COMMITTEE OF THE
In the 3rd Committee terrorism was at stake. Despite the Committee’s agreement not to attempt a definition of the term in question, Irak took initiative to suggest: terrorists are the USA and the West! Meanwhile, Syria accused the Western countries of exploiting the term “terrorism” for their own benefit. To the western countries’ will for humanitarian interventions in the countries that suffer, DPRK declared: “Liberation can’t be without blood”! After a number of unfruitful unmoderated caucuses, 3 working papers were submitted to the board suggesting so-

lutions to combat terrorism, including eradication of its root causes and putting spies to detect any suspect movements. USA’s and Iran’s apparent agreement as the meeting was coming to its end (which, by the way, made them both sooo happy as they announced) failed not long afterwards, and tension was created. It seemed that USA, Iran and Syria waited for the last 20 minutes of the conversation to speak candidly to each other!

The first official day of ThessISMUN started and the Council of Europe gathered in the committee approximately at 9 o’ clock. After the roll call, it became apparent that some delegates did not sleep really early the previous night. The session started with the general speakers' list, followed by a motion for a moderated caucus on the role of education regarding safer internet. There were moderated caucuses after the coffee break as well, in which the delegates discussed on the role of the family and media regarding safer internet for children. After the lunch break, the delegates had unmoderated caucuses and were encouraged by the

Afterwards, they were separated in working groups, and started writing clauses of the potential working paper, which were completed towards the end of the session. The sessions were generally fruitful and many countries such as Austria, Switzerland, United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Spain, Denmark and Slovakia took the floor. The highlight of the day was of course the committee dinner in which the delegates, the board and the Secretary General of the GA had a wonderful time, chatting and making jokes.

HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL The first debate day arrived and the topic that was discussed in the Human Rights Council was “the protection of Human Rights in peaceful protests and the fight against extremism”. All of the countries agreed on the need to confront extremism and terrorism and recognized the importance of the right to protest, of the freedom of expression and assembly. Furthermore, the need for solutions to protect these fundamental rights from being violated was highlighted. Some of the proposals to enhance these rights were: The training of the police officers to respect human rights and edu-
cate them through seminars in order to avoid terroristic violence during protests. The establishment of NGOs, that will inform people for their fundamental rights, and lobbies, where local people can express their worries and thoughts about specific problems. That international agencies should supervise and cooperate with national agencies in order to guide them on how the state should react on these kind of matters. The use of surveillance cameras only during protests.
B Y I VI P SALTI About the issue of extremism compared to the right to protest, delegates suggested the following: Better education of people in order to be understood that there are no substantial differences among them and that discrimination can only cause harm. As extremism is a form of remonstrance because of the global social and economical problems, people’s voice should be heard in order to express their disappointment and the solu-
tions which may be proposed. Policy of tolerance should be promoted but, in the same time, police, national forces and security measures should be supported and strengthened in case of extremist acts. The debate was pretty fruitful with some of the delegates standing for their passion and their repartee.

En particulier, les délégués ont remarqué que les femmes y font face aux discriminations graves dans l’environnement professionnel, leur participation à la vie publique est faible, plusieurs d’elles sont victimes du sida et des MST
aussi que les stéréotypes sociaux omniprésentes conduisent souvent à des manifestations violentes contre elles. La plupart des délégués ont consenti que la cause de tous les problèmes de la société ougandaise soit le manque d’information et d’éducation, c’est ainsi que la solution s’oriente vers la sensibilisation des enfants et des jeunes.

SECURITY COUNCIL
With surprises, unexpected reactions and arguments, the Historical Security Council completed its first official session about “War of Korea”. Chairs and delegates were on time and the whole procedure started exactly at 9 o’clock. At the beginning, delegates presented their speeches; while Soviet Union and U.S.A were giving their point of view on what is really happening in Korea (keep on mind that we are back in the
1950’s!) .The main issue our delegates discussed about was which part of Korea invaded the other. On the one hand, the U.S. and its allies claimed that North Korea used its Soviet Unionarmed forces against South Korea, while on the other hand Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and Soviet Union emphasized that Republic of Korea used American military power against them. Most of countries were against North Korea,
E COSOC The first day of the sessions has come for ECOSOC and the risks posed by nuclear energy to environmentally sustainable development ( topic A) attracted the attention of the committee. Although delegates were more than well prepared and willing to negotiate, a number of hangovers stood as obstacle for mutual understanding. Coffee breaks and the wise board gave the solution to the small confusion. The delegate of Philippines proposed an unmoderated caucus, where specific proposals were made and alliances became clearer.

ratic People’s Republic of Korea as a “terrorist group”. The Chair didn’t hesitate to punish the delegate of France for using inappropriate language. Apart from France, the UK delegate also had a diplomatic warning, crumpling the working paper to show her dissatisfaction. Negotia-

The smell of the many flowers that ECOSOC received gave the much needed inspiration to the delegates and filled them with new ideas, while strengthened alliances… New diplomatic talents, such as Brazil and Netherlands, came to the surface and the end of the session couldn’t have been more promising for the second day of ThessIS.
