Last Blog Post Before NHSMUN!!!

Conference: 
NHSMUN Committee

Hey all!

I'm so excited that NHSMUN is next week! I have one last article for you all to read through: http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Africa/2011/0301/Madagascar-captures-Soma...
This article is pretty short and addresses the widening reach of pirates. There is also a link to a fun pirate quiz in the article to test your pirate trivia knowledge!
Still feel free to e-mail me at disec.nhsmun@imuna.org with any questions or concerns before the conference!

UN Peacekeeping Review

Conference: 
NHSMUN Committee

Hey all!

As I work my way through your position statements I'm noticing a lot of different discussions and understandings of the UN's involvement and use of force. I came across this: http://bit.ly/g6FwD6 via the UN's Twitter. This site covers the ins and outs of UN peacekeeping missions! I hope this clarifies the UN's involvement with the use of force, and I'll keep my eye out for similar articles!
As always feel free to email me anytime at DISEC.nhsmun@imuna.org!
