Hi delegates,

So, we're 5 days from the first day of NHSMUN 2012! It's amazing, isn't it?
I hope that you all feel like you're on top of these topics, and ready for debate.
If not, you have 5 days to cram your brains with as much information as you possibly can!

To help you keep the information-flow going, here's a video from the World Bank's official youtube-channel. The video is about the safety challenges DFIs face when trying to rebuild Haiti's infrastructure.

Good Evening Delegates!

I know the EcoFin blog has been very Eurocentric, however, I think it is important that we, as a committee, keep up with this debt crisis that is plaguing a large part of the world.

Here's a great link to visit daily to track the debt crisis: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/business/global/european-debt-crisis-...

Greetings Delegates!

Another update on Greece (seems to be what EVERY news station is talking about).

The S&P (Standard and Poor's) considers Greece's debt situation (after it's new bonds were issued) as a selective default. Find out more at the link posted below.

Hi everyone! I hope you are all as excited as I am for the conference next week! I simply CANNOT WAIT to see you all!

Hi Justices!!

I can't believe how close to the conference we are! I'm going to shy away from presenting hard law and treaty in this entry, and instead, present you with an interview that was conducted with Romeo Dallaire, the Force Commander for UNAMIR.

Here is the link: http://lib.stanford.edu/node/5634/

It's a short and interesting read. Pay attention to Dallaire's description of the buildup of the genocide and how he views the action/lack of action of major powers to stop the atrocities.

Some things I thought were interesting:
