On the last day of Model UN, the Economic and Social Committee had a lot of things on the agenda. At the beginning of the day, we discussed Draft Resolution 3.2 and 3.3 on the topic of Annual Ministerial; Review: Implementing the Internationally Agreed Goals and Commitments in Regard to Global Public Health. Niger was one of the contributor to Draft Resolution 3.2. This draft mainly talked about poverty, HIV/AIDS, and hunger. It recommends that clinics should be established and transportation to the clinics is provided. It also encourages pharmaceutical companies to offer discounted medicines to HIV/AIDS patients. I was excited that Niger was able to be recognized for our input. The countries that were also writers/ contributors of the draft include Sudan, Mauritius, Sweden, Peru, The Republic of Moldova, and Philippines.
The draft resolution 3.3 was not very popular, but it also passed by consensus. After draft resolution was passed, a motion was moved to moved to topic 4. During this topic, two committees, Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) presented their reports and ECOSOC had to approve them.
This experience has been a great experience. I enjoyed every moment including getting stuck in the revolving doors, walking 10 miles in one day, and 10.25% tax.
