Model UN General Assembly
| On Friday 6 th March 2009 6 Year 10 pupils visited County Hall, Ystrad Mynach. We were there to attend a Model United Nations General Assembly along with many other schools from the area; our school was assigned The Democratic Republic of Congo and Israel. |
|
| Two topics were up for debate: A State’s Duty to Protect its Citizens and The Protection of Human Rights while Combating Terrorism. We were to present speeches on the first topic, ‘A State’s Duty to Protect it’s Citizens’. |
|
| As well as the 21 attending countries there were also the International Press, Amnesty International ad Medicins Sans Frontieres. The event was hosted by two very talented individuals – the President Cosmo Montagu and the Vice-President Ona Flindall. The event ran smoothly thanks to the UN Secretariats from Ysgol Gyfun Llanhari. |

At the start, Canada presented their resolution highlighting the worrying situation in Congo – the floor was then open for all other opening speeches, including ours! The floor was now open for countries to retire to the Negotiation Chamber. |
| After all amendments had been made to Canada’s resolution vote was taken and, to Canada’s relief, was passed. The afternoon continued in a similar fashion, but this time Pakistan’s resolution failed. |
