Now that I've had some time to reflect on the events in Chicago, I wanted to share those experiences with everyone else. As most of my fellow delegates have said, the free time in Chicago was amazing. I went the aquarium, ate at a quaint authentic Italian restaurant in Little Italy, did some shopping, did some sightseeing, but most important of all, I learned a lot about the way the United Nations is run. I participated in MUN in high school, but I was never in a committee like the Commission on Narcotics Drugs (CND). In this committee, we discussed the intravenous drug use and its relation to HIV/AIDS and the control of opiates for medicinal needs. Niger has a conservative opinion about narcotics, that is to say that Niger does not tolerate the use or trafficing of narcotics. We spent much of our time in session discussing the first topic about HIV/AIDS and intravaneous drugs and writing resolutions on the subject. The CND is a body whose primary purpose it to submit a report to The Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC); however, we didn't get around the making the report until about the 3rd day. During this discussion I was able to learn much about other countries' policies on drug control. The remainer of the time we spent on the second topic and writing its report. The most valuable part of AMUN to me was not only the knowledge I gained about the UN, but also the friendships I made while doing it. I am so grateful for this experience and the oportunities of knowlegde and friendship it has brought me.
