Martin Institute and Program in International Studies delegation tackled global diplomacy at the Model UN conference in NYC.

Sophomore Leika Devi, along with Mataya Dillon and a delegation of other U of I students traveled to New York City as part of a two-semester international studies course in University of Idaho College of Letters, Arts & Social Sciences. The course gives students a foundation in global politics and diplomacy as student envoys wrestle with topics of peace, security and human rights, negotiating treaties and managing international crises.

“I could not pass up the opportunity to visit New York City, and, coupled with the Model U.N., it seemed like a great opportunity,” Devi said.

The U of I student delegation represented Slovenia and Estonia. Her group was responsible for the economic and financial decisions and policies around the U.N.’s effort to achieve sustainable transportation by 2035. That includes strengthening supply chains for a variety of industries from food production and distribution to medical services. Achieving the goal requires discussions with local authorities, the private sector, civil society and organizations with ties to transportation and sustainability from around the world. All of which was simulated at the four-day conference.

“My key takeaway was learning diplomatic skills,” Devi said. “It was awesome to learn to negotiate with different member states with different priorities and land on the same page to draft a resolution.”
