Letter from the Secretary-General dear delegates, it is my pleasure and honor to welcome you to the 22nd session of World Model united Nations! My name is Charlene Wong, and i am the Secretary-General of WorldMuN 2013. Within this document you will find the study guide for your committee. The conference staff for WorldMUN 2013 has been working tirelessly over the past months to provide you with an unparalleled conference experience, beginning with this guide. Each Head Chair has researched extensively to provide you with a foundation for each committee’s topic areas. We encourage you to use this study guide as the starting point for your exploration of your committee’s topics, and your country or character’s policies. The WorldMUN Spirit invites you to step into the shoes of your country or character, and to immerse yourself in the committee by researching and developing a full understanding of the issues, perspectives, and possible solutions on the table. We offer several additional resources online, including our WorldMuN 101 Guide and Rules of Procedure, updated for this year. Both are available at www.worldmun.org. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your Head Chair or Under-Secretary-General. WorldMUN believes that the impact of delegates over the four days of conference goes far beyond the walls of the committee room. Therefore we are pleased to announce that resolutions passed at the 2013 conference in this committee will be sent on to the relevant body in the United Nations. Please enjoy reading this study guide, and I look forward to meeting you in Melbourne in March! Sincerely, Charlene S.

Letter from the Under-Secretary-General dear delegates, It is with the greatest pleasure that I welcome you to the General Assembly of the 22nd World Model United Nations. Over the last few months, we have been earnestly preparing for your rapidly approaching arrival in Melbourne. Your chairs have tirelessly labored to produce substantive material of the highest quality, which has and, I believe, will continue to distinguish the WorldMuN committee experience as foremost in the world for rich debate and fecund collaboration. I am overjoyed and humbled to be your Under-Secretary-General for this year’s GA, for it is certainly not one to be missed. For this session, the organ features a compelling mix of traditional GA mainstays as well as innovative committee experiences that our chairs have produced to tackle challenging world problems in novel ways. From endangered languages to urban crowding, a wide spectrum of committee topics has something to offer for every delegate, and our seven passionate chairs are excited to share their interests with you. These chairs have also dedicated themselves to creating a GA experience that transcends both the limitations and promises of the large committee sizes, pursuing a vision in which GA delegates enjoy all the fluid, intimate debate of smaller committees while gaining the caucusing potential and expansive representation of the GA. This study guide provides you with an excellent first step to prepare yourself for the first day of committee. the material here represents what your chair feels are the most important aspects of the topic areas and serves as both an introduction as well as a bridge to more in-depth research. If ever at a loss for where to start, always turn to the study guide first. Additionally, there are resources online at our website – including our World- MUN 101 guide and updated Rules of Procedure – to prepare you for committee. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or your chair. As a former WorldMUN chair, I know how much effort is invested into the committee experience by delegates and chairs alike, and we are all available to help make this conference the best WorldMuN yet! Sincerely, Scott yu under-Secretary-General of the General Assembly World Model united Nations 2013 ga@worldmun.org Melbourne Host Directorate PTY LTD | Office of Media and Design 5
