Interaction with Dr. Kiran Bedi

Children, the quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves. So aim high and work hard to achieve your goals in life. I can guarantee, success will come to you in no time. Platforms such as these conferences provide an exposure to young children which will surely help you all in the future. When you organize these kinds of events, you learn a lot, study a lot, and you can be a global citizen. Practical learning is what you need and I believe that MUNs can actually help you. At the United Nations, there are four Ps- Protection, Prevention, Progress and Peace.“You earn recommendation by merit or you don’t earn it.” So, be a global citizen, keep a track of what is going on in the world around you, as everyday, there’s something new happening in the world, about which, you should always be well informed.So, take these opportunities and make the best out of them. I congratulate everyone associated with this 2 day inter-school MUN -Ryan Young Leaders Model United Na-tions 2015 for its grand success. I hope that more opportunities like these are created for young and talented children to prepare themselves for the upcoming years of their life.

The closing ceremony of the Ryan Young Leaders’ Model United Nations was held on 10th July to felicitate those diplomats and press members whose performance was a cut above the rest. The ceremony started by invoking the Lord Almighty’s blessings through a special prayer and songs of worship. Dr. Kiran Bedi, India’s first and high-est ranking woman officer and current social activist along with Dr. Nupur

Ray, the Head of the Political Science Department at Kamla Nehru College graced the occasion as the Guests of honour.

Project In-Charge speaks

This is the first time that Ryan Faridabad has organised an inter school MUN – Ryan Young Leaders’ Model United Nations. I hope that it turns out to be fruitful as and productive as we had envisioned it to be. Platforms such as Model UN conferences give children much needed exposure and sensitise them to world issues. I, as the Project In-charge is ecstatic to see my students perform so well! Indeed, it is satisfying to view that tomorrow’s leaders are here and they surely will take up their jobs in the future of maintaining peace and harmony in the world with total preparedness. All my wishes to all the delegates and applaud for the organizing committee for de-picting their exemplary organizational skills and working with perseverance and total dedication.

When no child cries.- Deepanshi Narula & Poorvi Gupta

“No social problem is as universal as the oppression of the child. No slave was ever so much the property of their master as the child is of their parents. Nev-er were the rights of man ever so disregarded as in the case of the child.”The second day of the UNCRC commenced on a rather sanguine note. The envoys divulged into sizeable detail deliberating chiefly upon the crux of the situation at hand that is ‘Recruitment of child soldiers’. The ambassador of India commenced the session by elaborating upon the point that child soldiers are commonly subjected to abuse and most of them witness death, and sexual violence. It was followed up by the representative of Russia who stated that Islamic State recruits the utmost amount of child soldiers. He tilted the axis of his speech towards two principal points being involuntary recruitment and voluntary recruitment. He pulled off his disquisi-tion pretty ably, and elevated the level of debate profusely. Directing allegation against the delegate of Russia, the ambassador of China stated that the Russian Federation does not require employing child soldiers as it already has a well maintained standing army. Hitherto, the committee pursued a rather substantial trail, rendering that the

The second day of the committee could not be more inter-esting than it was today! The committee was full of life and alacrity. The delegates of China, Russia, Ecuador and France showed active participation throughout the committee. Today, the committee was more focused on the agenda and held discussions on its various aspects. Many arguments were presented by the delegates and to be precise most of the questions were pointed towards either Russia or China. Fur-ther the committee discussed about the nuclear power plant blast in Beijing, China. The discussion included the dangers

of the gas being spread across the regions near the site of blast. Other topics which were taken were of Nuclear Race and Lack of Security near Nuclear Reactants accompanied by several backroom associations. Afterwards there were arguments between the delegate of UNCTAD and France on the Nuclear Race.Overall the committee was fruitful with all the delegates showing active participation and conducting healthy de-bates amongst each other. The EB did a great job! Thus the committee was a success with having various solutions being discussed.

The cubs of yesterday, the lions of tomorrow.- Nandana Bhattacharjee and Yamini Gupta

As the novel rays of the sun broke through the dawn, the enthusiasm of the delegates seemed to bring the committee to life.As the hands of the clock struck half an hour to eight amidst with all the hustle and bustle, the fourth session of the Islamic Development Bank began on an exciting note with the delegate of the Russian Fed-eration paving his way towards a fruitful debate by commencing the General Speaker’s List. He highlighted the need that unity holds in the development of the agricultural sector. The committee was on the right track as the very first moderated caucus covered ‘Diverse experience in Madagascar for agriculture’. The delegate of China religiously stuck to the agenda and served as an enthusiastic customer. The delegates wore their emotions on their sleeves, what with nail biting, chit passing and incessant fidgeting. There were several motions that failed, leading to the collapse of an alliance or two. The delegate of Iraq spoke about some efficacious solutions which left an overwhelming impact on the committee.The path for a concrete foundation was not elementary, for the dele-gates were fighting in the catastrophe with all their might and courage; yet the rays of peace shined brighter than the flames of wrath and the IDB soon settled on a solution.

“We can’t help everyone but everyone can help someone “.- Ronald Reagan

The words which come to our mind when we talk of ECOSOC is sanguine genesis. The delegates approached the day with gusto that is appreciated. Every delegate was invincible creating a battle some aura. The session commenced with an enticing moderated caucus wherein the crisis was discussed. The press appreciates the com-mendable stature of the Executive Board for their galvanizing accession. The delegate of Qatar laid emphasis on the International Trade Agreement between Russia and China. On the other hand delegate of Republic of Korea talked about the effects of currency changes. Actions speak louder than words goes very well for the delegate of Kuwait who was simultaneously creating the com-motion of chits. Poignant delegate of China was well versed and spontaneous all throughout. The press gauged and appreciates the flames kindled by the dele-gates during the session which showcased their treasure trove.

United NationsGeneral Assembly

United NationsSecurity Council

The day two of the Security Council saw its delegates fueled with enthusiasm and overflowing aggression, which was certainly the Press’ expectation from the house. The day commenced with the GSL, wherein China and The United Kingdom broke out into a tiny feud, resulting in the shooting down of United Kingdom’s double points of order. The delegate of Russia claimed that the United States would be responsible for the next cold war because of the ammunitions stored in Turkey while the Chinese military attacked the UAV found hovering above their EEZ Zone. The delegate of Chile made horrendous mistakes by naming the wrong countries in the P5 and in pure moments of agony, defied parliamentary procedures and in-dulged in cross talks. The Press noted that the delegate of Chile had the habit of reverting points made against him back to the United States, blatantly denying his mistakes. In the later hours, the committee received an update from the Indian represen-tative; footage captured by the UAV presented substantial proof that the infra-structure and the movements in the video amounted to the military capabili-ties of the PRC and could be used to develop a nuclear site. The nuclear threat increasing rapidly may prove to be a major threat to the world community. The crisis is the real test of the Security Council’s capability. The delegates must realize that crisis cannot be solved, it can only be tackled.

I suppose, many delegates weren’t privileged enough to get the heavenly reward of sleep because of the rising tension among the committee. This was conspicuous from the very beginning, when the delegates failed to comprehend what the other person spoke. Loads of points of personal privilege were enough to bring the patience of the Executive Board to the verge. The result? Every-one avoided asking for repetition unnecessarily.The maritime security is a serious threat as reiterated by many delegates. Terrorist organizations hire personnel from third world nations, paying them enough that the option of licit work seems unrewarding. But, that’s not the only problem being discussed -- sea acquisition of countries is a part of the big trouble too. When the quality of the committee, one would suppose, deteriorating, the moderated caucus on the topic “South China Sea Dispute” brought in a shift. Delegates, with a new fire brimming up, threw in their allegations and solutions which in turn caused disrup-tion. The delegates were charging towards each other as the committee advanced and the quality of debate rose.

International Press Crises THE CATALYST OF TRUCE: HOPE

Dear Global Citizens,

“When the deepest desires you had,And the sweetest reveries you saw,

Lead you to a path of angstAnd leave you amidst chaos.

When the happiness you sought,And the admirations you had

Guide you to the cliff of turmoil,When all your dreams have died,

And the ataraxia skedaddled,A Voice inside your head would say,

“The Utopia you dreamt of is not far away.” ”

Yes, the sole reason I’m still fighting to survive in this turbulent world is the ray of hope I see when I glance on the azure above. I dreamt of a world where peace and truce resides and gives every soul the opportunity to do what their heart calls for. But, when I look back and see the people who called me names and tried to suppress me, I feel that the Utopia is still far away. Why is the world full of torments and not the ubiquity of love? Why as a journalist I feel like a Bird whose wings have been engraved? But the spark of Hope I see is an exigent reminder that Hope has not died. I believe that the world will be a better place some day. The day when the meliorist in all of us awakes. And, I hope that day comes soon. My profession is my religion. And I will earnestly follow it till the end. Forever and Always!Yes, I’m proud to be a muckracker!Hoping for a better world,Angelina

It’s eight in the morning, and the delegates are pouring in like a portrayal of mass influx. The bags heaved upon their shoulders seem bulky and reflect the suspicious enigma of Dora’s backpack. As they seat themselves in the conference rooms and flip out articles and laws with vehement actions, they frequently deviate from the common motive each one of them share: seeking solutions.The International Press is an unassailable believer that as much as pro-viding a voice to words is influential; rendering ink to thoughts is a loud-er version. The International Press has eyes of an analytical observer. In utterly simple words; we see, we think and we write. Our opinions, the inner voices of knowledge and wisdom flow and connect with our pens, hands moving effortlessly on paper. The International Press is a unit, a team where one won’t be able to function without the other. We work in an atmosphere of matched frequencies and spill words on page after page. We believe that we bear the responsibility of influencing minds; the words we write are written in ink, a mistake can’t be undone. Henry Grunwald, mentioned in the TIME magazine that, “Journalism can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air.” A newsletter created by a team of passionate individuals.

The International Press: A Typewriter That Bleeds. -Vipasha Verma

Hand in handThe routes they took.

Capturing the public staresThey ran off to their nook.

For they knew,Love has no boundaries.

No canonical beliefsCould beget it to cease.

Their voiceWas loud yet unspoken

Their rightsConsidered yet ignored.

Caged up they wereIn this huge world.

Before the doors were openedAnd the rainbow unfurled.

With a smile on their facesThey now look up at the rainbow stripes.

Feeling as free as they ever could beStand there in the aisle.
