Disarmament and International Security (DISEC)

Failed States Index

Conference: 
SUSMUN 2011

Hello delegates, Once again, it's a pleasure to be writing to you, but I can't wait to see everyone in committee. I am going to dedicate this blog post to some recent statistics about our second topic. “If the Failed States Index were a championship, then Somalia would be the undisputed four-time champion.” http://www.fundforpeace.org/global/?q=node/123 The new 2011 Failed States Index released in late June was more dismal news for fragile and failed states. As evident by the quote above, Somalia has been struggling with the problem for years.

Welcome to DISEC!!!!!!

Conference: 
SUSMUN 2011

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!
