Doha: Following on from the success and positive reception of last year's Model United Nations (MUN) conference, the Executive Team of the MUN Club at the International School of London (ISL) Qatar hosted the successful and productive fourth annual ISLMUN Conference.
With a common theme of International Partnership for Global Advancement, high school students from international schools around Doha engaged in dynamic, diplomatic and professional debate, devising feasible solutions to problems and concerns facing the international political community. With the theme reflecting the growing importance of international co-operation in facilitating effective peacebuilding, development and security in an increasingly globalized world, delegates discussed various issues.
These issues range from the protection of the rights of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar, countering transnational threats of organised crime to international peace and security and devising measures to regulate the role, which private military contractors play in armed conflict worldwide, amongst others.
Over 150 delegates attended the conference from the International School of London Qatar, Birla Public School, Doha College, English Modern School, Middle East International School, The Next Generation School, Pakistan International School and SEK International School. Debate in the Security, Human Rights and Economic and Social Councils, as well as the First Committee of the General Assembly, reflected the students' excellent awareness of the international political scene and the mechanisms developed to facilitate international co-operation. For the first time, the ISLMUN International Court of Justice was in session, allowing delegates to explore the legal aspects of the United Nations.
The two days of the conference have been truly fruitful for all delegates, allowing them to improve their diplomatic, public speaking and critical thinking skills.
AURA Hospitality & Food Services and Entertainment, who provided the delegates with lunch during the first day, graciously sponsored the event. The ISLMUN Executive Team would additionally like to thank the Worldwide Immigration Consultancy Services for their financial support of the conference.
ISLMUN 2018 has been a true success and an excellent learning opportunity for all attendees. The ISLMUN Executive Team will be looking forward for welcoming delegates at future conferences.
ISL Qatar has an outstanding reputation for high academic standards, prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes and an impressive record of admission to the world's best universities.
