10th International MUNRFE Conference
The project for which members of the Model United Nations of the Russian Far East had been preparing since summer by making deep research and practicing speeches and elocution trainings, and which draws the line of MUNRFE interclub projects in 2011 has finished.
This year the Conference took part in the capital of the Far Eastern Federal Region, in the beautiful city of Khabarovsk – the birthplace of the MUNRFE itself. The general theme of the 10th Anniversary MUNRFE Session was “Humanity in 2001-2011: heading for enlightened cooperation and sustainable development” developed by Sophia Korchagina, one of the most experienced MUNRFE members, and her brilliant team of the Secretariat officers.
There were 4 committees simulated, such as the Security Council, the International Court of Justice, the 2nd Committee of the General Assembly and the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The UNESCO work was simulated for the first time ever within MUNRFE Conferences. Together with the “Russkiy Mir” foundation it became possible for the organization to conduct exciting and fascinating simulation of this respective body.
From the very first day and till the end of the Conference honorable delegates were engaged in the international peace and security, preservation of the international law, sustaining Russian culture and overcoming current global economic challenges.
This year's Conference had a unique experience when all 4 Committees were united in a special General Assembly emergency session for resolving the futuristic crisis developed in detail by the sharp-witted crisis managers’ team.
