Office of The High Commissioner For Human Rights: Sanskriti Model United Nations 2019
Greetings Delegates!
I am Tavishi Sharma, and I will be serving as
the High Commissioner for this simulation of
the Office of the High Commissioner for
Human Rights at Sanskriti Model United
Nations 2019. I am currently in grade 12
pursuing Humanities with Maths and
Economics. My passions lie in music, reading,
debating, travelling and history. It is my distinct pleasure to be
serving as the High Commissioner and hope you are just as
excited as I am to see you all in April! As delegates of this
committee, you shall be expected to be well prepared for a fast-
paced committee and to bring a solution-oriented approach. This
agenda is a vast, interconnected and complex one, a
comprehensive understanding of the economic motives, state of
human rights and the mandate of this committee will be
necessary to come up with effective solutions. SMUN has given
me some of my best Model UN experiences and I hope to provide
you with an educational and enriching experience that you may
carry with yourselves as you venture forth into the world of Model
UN. Please feel free to email us at [email protected] for
any queries.
Good luck, see you in April!
MESSAGES FROM THE
DEPUTY HIGH
COMMISSIONERS
Greetings delegates! I am Aparna Joshi, studying Humanities
in class 12. I shall be serving as your Deputy Commissioner for
this session of the Office of the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees at SMUN’19. This shall be my last
conference….culminating a long and eventful career in the
field of debating, MUNing and acting. Other than spending
long night delving deep into policy matters, my interests
include research on multiple areas of interest such as
Sociology, Painting, History and Humanitarian Crises. Further,
I enjoy nothing more than reading and listening to music.
Happy Researching,
Executive Board

ABOUT THE COMMITTEE
Globalisation
When discussing the demand for forced labour, two
aspects must be considered: First, the demand for
cheap, flexible labour driven by the employers, and
second, the demand for cheap or illicit goods and
services, driven by consumers. Both these facets have
multiplied in the later years of the 20th century, with
globalisation and the reorganisation of global
production. These changes were not organic; they
were the result of powerful actors pushing through
big changes, and primarily benefited the wealthy.
These rising inequalities created a vast number of
people in the labour market that were too poor to
refuse exploitation.
