Debate for Peace participated in Yale Model UN Dubai, the third annual MUN conference hosted in Dubai by the Yale International Relations Association, as part of their global series of Model UN conferences. Students dealt with topics ranging from disrupting transnational organized crime’s financing to women’s healthcare access to expanding the historical House of Wisdom of Abbasid Iraq, and the maritime conflict between China and Vietnam in the International Court of Justice.
The delegation consisted of seven students from six schools around Israel: Shaked from Wizo Hadassim, Itamar from Atid Raziel, Sameer from Nimer Hussain School Shfaram, Noa from Dror Educational Campus, Ethan and Itamar from Kfar Hayarok high school, and Rula from the Terra Santa school, and the Ort Hilmie Shafie MUN club. In addition to the conference activities, the delegation also toured Dubai Creek by sea, and visited the Shindagha historical and ethnographic museum.
After three intense days of challenging multilateral diplomacy, speeches, negotiations and resolution writing, the delegation returned with the experiences of competing in Model UN at a global level. They also left a positive impression on their chairs and fellow delegates. Congratulations to all of the members of the delegation, and in particular to Ethan Neumann and Itamar Harel, for winning Best Position Paper and Best Delegate respectively in the World Health Organization.
