TABLE OF CONTENTS Principal’s message About JAYSHREE PERIWAL HIGH SCHOOL About JPHS-MUN Committees General Information and Registration Contact us PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE "MUNning has become extremely popular among students across the globe. It is truly heartening to see young students discuss such grave issues with so much confidence and aplomb. I believe that a Model UN conference hones a student’s talent in public speaking, and edifies the skills of compromise, diplomacy, and negotiations. It helps students to develop a healthy interest in world politics and it develops the leaders of tomorrow. As part of its endeavour to provide a holistic approach to education, high school and college students engage in intellectual deliberation, as an exercise to be more productive and develop strong friendships. Indeed, a Model UN conference enables each student to harness their analytical and problem-solving skills. It instils in participants a deep understanding of the workings of our multination political system as well as ensures the cultivation of students into responsible citizens of the future who are aware of global concerns, equipped with the knowledge to take action to ameliorate our world. As the conference relays the theme ‘Aurea Mediocritas’ to go along with the changing spectrums of the working of the world due to COVID-19, I wish that each delegate in this prestigious conference stands by the belief that adversities can be changed into opportunities. Peaceful protests can accomplish much more than military aggression. Counter the forces of intolerance, advance global citizenship, and forge human solidarity based on Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy of non-violence. Thank you. Madhu Maini Principal ABOUT JAYSHREE PERIWAL HIGH SCHOOL "I am not going to school just for the academics. I wanted to share ideas, to be around people who are passionate about learning" -Emma Watson. JPHS has been immensely successful in helping students realise this very dream. The most conspicuous thing about it is the inclusivity and the opportunities that it constantly provides.

ABOUT JPHS-MUN The Model United Nations (MUN) is a series of programs run throughout the goal of understanding the United Nations, where students are taught not only to speak but to inspire. MUN is an activity in which students participate as delegates, delegating the role of diplomats of the countries they represent. Delegates debate about the world issues, promoting peace and the work of the United Nations through cooperation and diplomacy. Discussing and dealing with issues, as intense as the ‘Belarusian Border Crisis’ or putting intelligence to ‘technological aspects’ which affects the world community at large, this activity aims to educate participants about current affairs, international events and the United Nations agenda, while at the same time broadening their understanding of politics, diplomacy, and the need for harmonious coexistence. Putting their skills of negotiation and discussion to good use, students come up with solutions to counter various problems faced by the world today. Delegates will discuss and debate upon topics of global interest, using the procedures and practices followed in the United Nations. At JPHS-MUN, we hope to maintain the tradition of an academically centered and intellectually enriching experience for all the delegates. Hoping for all delegates not just to take back awards, but an unforgettable experience of learning and debating. COMMITTEES AND AGENDAS

The UNSC was founded on 24th October 1945, having their headquarters in New York city, United States .It is the only UN body with the authority to issue binding resolutions on member states. For this year’s conference, the committe will debating on the agenda”Deliberating upon Economic, Environmental and Political impact of Widespread Military Bases.” As every story has two sides , this agenda holds both pros and cons in its story . On one side, ,having a military base of a militant strong power in your country has a plus side as it benefits the economy of the local area and the country as a whole, as a result of the rent that is paid to the country in question and the influx of personnel spending money.

While Belarus has eased the migration flows, political leaders from Poland and Lithuania have repeatedly accused the Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenka of facilitating migrants and asylum seekers to cross EU borders. In response, EU countries have built fences, significantly increased border patrols and declared a state of emergency along the border areas, which limits independent humanitarian assistance organizations from entering the areas.
