NMUN UCAB

If you know people who are interested in enrolling their kids in any of the campings Shangrila has to offer, make sure to tell them to say they want to help NMUN UCAB.

For each person that does so, you'll be helping us be a step closer to the UN!

Just as we've told our delegates: Greatness awaits just around the corner.

Today we are very proud to congratulate our 2014 Head Delegate, Valeria Massarelli for being part of the production team of "Efecto Naím" the Best News Magazine in Spanish at the local Emmy Awards.

Congratulations , your NMUN UCAB family celebrates this incredible achievement with you!

Last week we celebrated two very important international days for Human Rights.

On June 19th the UN amplifies the voices of the forgotten victims of war, who suffer stigma, shame and exclusion in societies polarized by armed conflict on the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict

And June 20th, World Refugee Day, is dedicated to raising awareness of the situation of refugees throughout the world.

Every year, on 14 June, countries around the world celebrate World Blood Donor Day. The event serves to thank voluntary, unpaid blood donors for their life-saving gifts of blood and to raise awareness of the need for regular blood donations to ensure the quality, safety and availability of blood and blood products for patients in need.

Today the UN celebrates the World Environment Day.
Every World Environment Day has a different global host country, where the official celebrations take place. This year it is India, and it aims to . Let's take care of the world we live in because it is our common home.

“Children need peace, but meanwhile, parties to conflict have an obligation to respect the rules of war – rules that prohibit the unlawful targeting of civilians, attacks on schools or hospitals, the use, recruitment and unlawful detention of children, and the denial of humanitarian assistance. When conflicts break out, these rules need to be respected and those who break them need to be held to account.”- UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta H. Fore

Today, June 4th, we commemorate the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression. A day to reaffirm the UN’s commitment to protect those vulnerable members of societies who are the most affected during armed conflicts. Its work is guided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the most widely ratified international human rights treaty in history.

Let's take a time to remember the International Days recognized by the UN that we had during this week!

During our third meeting we learned about NMUN rules of procedure and how to set the agenda. Then we had our traditional stress debate where our delegates proved their debating skills. Congratulations to our winners: Outstanding delegate: David Briceño, Distinguished Delegate: Juan Alfonzo, Honorable Mention: Alessandra López.

May 23th International Day to End Obstetric Fistula (A/RES/67/147).

Obstetric fistula is one of the most serious and tragic injuries that can occur during childbirth. It is a hole between the birth canal and the bladder or re**um caused by prolonged, obstructed labour without treatment.

The condition typically leaves women incontinent, and as a result they are often shunned by their communities. Sufferers often endure depression, social isolation and deepening poverty. Many women live with the condition for years – or even decades – because they cannot afford to obtain treatment.

During our second meeting we learned about The United Nations structure, how to manage sponsorships, and how to make a speech NMUN UCAB style!

During our first meeting, we learned about what's NMUN, our legacy, and we also had our first round of speeches!
