TOPIC: VENEZUELAN MIGRATORY CRISIS IN 2022

COMMITTEE
EXPECTATIONS

MORE THAN 6 MILLION REFUGEES AND MIGRANTS HAVE LEFT VENEZUELA IN THE
CONTEXT OF AN ONGOING HUMANITARIAN CRISIS - AND UNFORTUNATELY,
MIGRATION IT'S A COMMON SUBJECT AMONG OUR SOCIETY. THE REPRESENTATION
AND DEVELOPMENT OF THIS COMMITTEE AIMS TO SET THE GROUND FOR A
CONTENTFUL, RICH AND DYNAMIC DEBATE, IN WHICH THE DIFFERENT POLICIES OF
THE REGION COLLAPSE INTO ONE WITHIN THE SOLUTIONS WE ARE ALL COMMITTED
TO SEEK.

IN THAT SENSE, WE EXPECT YOU TO SEIZE THIS OPPORTUNITY BY HAVING A

HOLISTIC DEBATE IN WHICH YOU PRACTICE ALL THE DIFFERENT STEPS YOU SHOULD
EXERCISE IN A MUN CONFERENCE, FROM AN HONEST NEGOTIATION TO AN
ENRICHING EXCHANGE OF IDEAS. WITH THE PURPOSE OF HAVING THE BEST
POSSIBLE PRACTICE, WE WON'T TOLERATE ANY BAD HABITS OR DISHONEST
COMPETITION SUCH AS COPY-PASTING SOLUTIONS WITHOUT NEGOTIATION,
PLAGIARISM, UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT OR ANYTHING THAT COULD HINDER THE
ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE WE WANT TO ACHIEVE.

AS YOUR DAIS, WE WANT TO HEAR CRITICAL AND UPDATED ARGUMENTS IN THIS

DISCUSSION, SUCH AS THE RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC DISTORTION THAT
VENEZUELA IS EXPERIENCING, AND THE DIRECT IMPACT IT COULD OR NOT HAVE IN
MIGRATION POLICIES AROUND THE REGION. WE CONSIDER IT CRUCIAL THAT
DELEGATES UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE WE ARE GIVING TO THIS YEAR’S UNHCR
REFUGEE CHALLENGE AND BY ALL MEANS WE INTEND TO MAKE THIS SIMULATION
AND COMMITTEE AS A REINFORCEMENT OF OUR EXPECTATIONS FROM THE RESEARCH
AND PROPOSALS IN ORDER TO REACH, AS WELL AS LAST YEAR, THE DEGREE OF
INNOVATION AND FEASIBILITY OF THE SOLUTIONS PROPOSED BY DELEGATES.
