My position on entering KMUN2012

Model United Nations is a chance for me to test my skills as a debater, negotiator, and a global leader. From past experiences of competing at such competitions, I learned that I am capable of debating on several international issues and that I potentials of becoming a leader that persuades others with different views through discussion and compromise. I hope to test such skills again by participating at the Korea Model United Nations 2012.

My participation as a delegate of the UNHCR is an important process in the path to my goal as a global leader with a view on current issues. This is because of my background as a child among war refugees. A few years before I entered my teenage hood, I was living among refugees who lost their homes fleeing from this bloodhound called war. Around me, boys with strange names who couldn’t pronounce them well themselves swarmed. As I began calling them friends and as they started coming over to my house for lunch, I learned more about each boy’s family and their hellish escape from war. Now, I sit in front of my SENS laptop and recall the winters and springs I spent with them. I earn for a chance to share these memories with other delegates and help them understand the dire need of war refugees.

I have decided to represent Sudan at the UNHCR based on my future goals. From my research on UNHCR’s Korea branch, it seems clear that refugees of Sudan’s civil war need the most care and attention from the world. As the delegate of Sudan, I wish to present the perilous situation of Sudan’s war refugees and persuade them that Sudan needs immediate attention from the UNHCR. My experience among war refugees will benefit me in this.
