My name is Christian Real and I will be your commission President for this MUN. This commission oversees the enforcement of the ideas by the various human rights declarations put forward by the UN over the last few decades. The Human rights commission is the successor to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR), and is a subsidiary body of the United Nations General Assembly. The General Assembly established the UNHRC by adopting a resolution (A/RES/60/251) on March 15 2006, in order to replace the previous CHR, which had been heavily criticized for allowing countries with poor human rights records to be members. You will be the ones in charge of ensuring that human rights violations are not taking place within the UN´s jurisdiction. You will reach a resolution in which you will promise to establish the highest standards in the promotion and protection of human rights.
Your Vice-President will be Emily Vallee, and we will both make sure all delegates debate seriously professionally and respectfully. In addition, we will try our hardest to allow you to achieve the best you possibly can the days this model takes place.
Best of Luck!
Definition Marine Litter
Marine litter is human-created waste that has deliberately or accidentally become afloat in a lake, sea, ocean or waterway. Oceanic debris tends to accumulate at the center of gyres and on coastlines, frequently washing aground, when it is known as beach litter or tide wrack. Many animals that live on or in the sea consume flotsam by mistake, as it often looks similar to their natural prey. Plastic debris, when bulky or tangled, is difficult to pass, and may become permanently lodged in the digestive tracts of these animals, blocking the passage of food and causing death through starvation or infection. Tiny floating particles also resemble zoo plankton, which can lead filter feeders to consume them and cause them to enter the ocean food chain. In samples taken from the North Pacific Gyre in 1999 by the Algalita Marine Research Foundation, the mass of plastic exceeded that of zoo plankton by a factor of six.
Toxic additives used in the manufacture of plastic materials can leach out into their surroundings when exposed to water. Waterborne hydrophobic pollutants collect and magnify on the surface of plastic debris, thus making plastic far more deadly in the ocean than it would be on land. Hydrophobic contaminants are also known to bio-accumulate in fatty tissues, bio-magnifying up the food chain and putting great pressure on apex predators. Some plastic additives are known to disrupt the endocrine system when consumed; others can suppress the immune system or decrease reproductive rates.
Child trafficking is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of children for the purpose of exploitation. Commercial sexual exploitation of children can take many forms and include forcing a child into prostitution or other forms of sexual activity or child pornography. Child exploitation can also include forced labor or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude, the removal of organs, illicit international adoption, trafficking for early marriage, or recruitment as child soldiers. It is a form of trafficking in human beings as defined by the UN Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children. The International Labor Organization convention 182 defines it as a form of child labor. Child trafficking is a crime under international law and under the national legislation of many countries.

Hello delegates and welcome to the UN’s Security Council,
I am your commission President, Luis Mesa, and I would like to start off by saying that the 15 of you represent the best of the best on the UN. The Security Council was the first council in the UN and is the most powerful one within the United Nations, composed of the 5 veto powers and another 10 states. You are the ones in charge of global security, and are the only ones who can send troops, and authorize immediate sanctions and actions.
Your Vice-president will be Antonio Espinosa, and we will both make sure the debates go smoothly and that you can achieve the most you can within the days the model takes place.
Good Luck!
Definition of sanctions related to violations of treaties biochemical warfare:
Biochemical warfare is considered to be a huge threat for international peace and security due to its destructive power, which are designed to kill and incapacitate human beings in gruesome ways. These weapons are also a threat since they are usually the type of warfare used by non-states and terrorist organizations. The purpose of these debates will be to amend the existing treaties such as the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC). Your job as delegates will be to decide if the sanctions will be imposed, what they will consist in, how severe the sanctions will be, and who they will apply to.

Situation in Somalia:
After the Somali civil war ended officially in 2009, the country has sunk into a humanitarian crisis. The country is riddled with rebel soldiers that started terrorizing villages after the war were over. It is our duty as the UN’s Security Council to decide what we will do to help this nation in need. Your job as delegates will be to decide how to deal with this crisis, whether you send military aid, monetary aid, sanction the existing government for their incompetence, etc. you decide.

Hello delegates and welcome to the Environmental commission on CGB III MUN.
I am your commission President, Camilo Castellanos, and I would like to start off by welcoming you all. The 25 of you are in charge of the global environment security, you must remember, that we are here to find various solutions to the conflicts stated in the commission and environment will no longer be affected in any place of the world, which is a problem seen every day. We are here to discuss mainly, the deforestation in Brazil, and the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
Your Vice-president will be Giancarlo Foschini and both of us will make sure that the debates go along and that by the end of the model we achieve as most as we can. We expect all delegates to make an extended research about both topics and have many strong and valid arguments related to their countries position or point of view (against, in favor or both). Also, during the debates, every country should be able to propose solutions and ideas to address these topics effectively, taking into account the countries’ culture, thoughts, politics and more.
Deforestation in Brazil started since 1970; over 600,000 square kilometers of trees have been cut down in the Amazon forest. Brazil once had the highest deforestation rate in the world and as of 2005 still has the largest area of forest removed annually. Between May 2000 and August 2006, Brazil lost nearly 150,000 square kilometers of forest, an area larger than that of Greece. If this is not sorted out, the Amazon Rainforest will be reduced by 40% by 2030. This is a problem that the Environmental commission has to find a solution. At the end of the debates, deforestation in Brazil should be sorted out.
The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico started on the 20nd of April 2010 and ended on the 15th of July 2010, 560,000-585,000 tons of crude oil was spilled into the ocean. This has been the 5th biggest oil spill ever seen in the history. Oil was stopped from getting out of the main tube but the crude oil was still left out in the ocean. This is a very delicate subject because animals of many different species are in danger of getting sick or even dying. This is one example that can be debated but they are many others that have to be solved.
What can we do about it? Which rules or laws can help prevent these conflicts? How can we prevent this to happen again? What solutions can be established to stop the conflicts that are going to be debated in the commission? These are some of the questions that can help you out finding the solutions for both conflicts stated above. Both president and vice president hope that delegates get to an agreement and find a valid and good solution at the end of the debates.

Delegates,
Welcome to the Food and Agriculture Organization, where you will be spending two days debating on policies to safeguard water resources around the globe, and the development of programs to combat deforestation in Africa. This year, the people in charge of the FAO commission will be Cristina Camacho (myself) as president, and Adrian Quiroga as vice president. We have been participating in MUNs for years now, taking part in different commissions, representing different countries and debating about different topics. Each time, we learn something new and become more interested in the problems currently affecting our world. We would like to share that experience with you, provide the opportunity for you to try new things and see situations from different perspectives. This will be my first year as president of a commission, even if I’ve already participated as vice president in our previous MUNs. For Adrian, this will be his first time taking charge of a commission, rather than being in the shoes of a delegate. We expect each of you to take this model seriously, to show eagerness, commitment and responsibility. Be open-minded and don’t take these two days for granted - make the most of it. If you have any doubts or questions, don’t hesitate in contacting me or Adrian. We are including some background information that may be helpful for you during your preparation:
The United Nations Organization was created in October, 1945 after the Second World War, and aims to facilitate cooperation in international law, international security, economic development, social progress, human rights and the achievement of world peace. Through this 3rd annual Colegio Gran Bretaña Model United Nations, different commissions will work in unison to come up with viable solutions to some of the most pressing matters around the world today. FAO is focused on the topics of policies to safeguard water resources and combating deforestation in Africa.
Every year, about 13 million hectares of the world’s forests are lost due to deforestation. Furthermore, deforestation is one of the greatest causes for global warming. Between 25 – 30 percent of the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere each year (approximately 1.6 billion tonnes) is caused by deforestation. Trees are 50% carbon, which means that when they are felled or burned, the carbon dioxide they store escapes back into the air. This issue is predominant in South America and Africa, and it is of vital importance to find a solution before it is too late. Your job is to present possible resolutions that state the problem and the best ways to eradicate it. Some useful links:

According to the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, we have reached a point where there is not enough water for all uses, whether agricultural, industrial or domestic. Only 4% of the entire world water supply can be used to sustain humans. With reasons such as population growth, expansion of business activity, rapid growth in urbanization, water pollution, war, unfair water supply distribution and climate change, fresh water is becoming scarcer. More and more countries around the world are reaching the point of “water stress”, where there is no longer enough water to meet the needs of everyone. 20% of the world’s population lacks access to safe drinking water and over 40% is without adequate sanitation. This situation is extremely time sensitive, and it is imperative to stop water shortage from growing now, so as to prevent an irreversible crisis in the near future. Links:

Consejo Económico Y Social
Buenos días delegados y bienvenidos al Consejo Económico y Social del modelo de las Naciones Unidas del Colegio Gran Bretaña.
Somos su presidenta, Sara Cely, y vicepresidente, Nicolás Leiva, y queremos empezar por decirles que nuestra labor no es solo coordinarlos, si no también guiarlos y apoyarlos cuando lo necesiten. Juntos nos vamos a asegurar que los debates que se lleven a cabo sean fluidos, y que al finalizar el modelo se vayan a casa con experiencia y conocimiento que seguramente les va a servir y ayudar en futuras ocasiones. Esperamos que ustedes pongan de su parte para hacer de este modelo una experiencia interesante, pero aun así, divertida. Buena Suerte.
1. La protección contra productos nocivos para la salud y el medio ambiente.
Podemos no darnos cuenta pero productos que utilizamos a diario como el maquillaje, los juguetes, y electrónicos contienen y desprenden sustancias químicas y toxicas que no solo perjudican el medio ambiente, si no también nuestra salud. Los productos químicos ‘sintéticos’ muestran el avance de nuestra civilización pero despiertan una alarma de alerta a organizaciones como WWF o Adena, y el consejo ECOSOC no es la excepción. Existe el Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Medio Ambiente sobre la protección contra los productos perjudiciales para la salud y el medio ambiente que habla de metas, objetivos y logros que está trabajando el consejo.
2. Las discrepancias económicas y sociales existentes entre Colombia y Venezuela.
Ya todos están consientes de los problemas entre Colombia y Venezuela existentes como cuando el presidente Hugo Chávez ‘congelo’ las relaciones con Colombia, los malentendidos entre ambos presidentes de las Republicas (Alvaro Uribe y Hugo Chávez), la ‘supuesta amenaza de asesinato’ hacia Chávez desde Bogotá o el cierre de la embajada venezolana en Colombia y la movilización de batallones hacia la frontera. Este es un tema consiente en la ONU pues ambos países pertenecen a esta. El consejo económico y social se encarga de trabajar con este tema para poder resolver los problemas, valga la redundancia, económicos y sociales.

El consejo económico y social se encarga de trabajar con este tema para poder resolver los problemas, valga la redundancia, económicos y sociales.
