Letter from the Chair<br />
Dear Delegates,<br />
It is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to the <strong>Legal</strong> committee.<br />
My name is Lotus Cannon and I am looking forward to being<br />
your chair at this amazing <strong>World</strong>MUN conference in Vancouver!<br />
I grew up in New Jersey and currently live in Edison. I am a<br />
sophomore at Harvard concentrating in Economics. Russian by<br />
heritage, I love learning about other cultures, whether through<br />
my friendships, travel, or my experiences with MUN. I am fluent<br />
in Russian and learning Spanish. I enjoyed participating in <strong>Model</strong><br />
UN in high school, both in debate and the executive board. At<br />
Harvard, I am also a Director of Administration for the Harvard<br />
National <strong>Model</strong> <strong>United</strong> <strong>Nations</strong> Conference. Apart from <strong>Model</strong><br />
UN related activities, I love ballroom dancing. I began dancing<br />
my freshman year, when I joined the Harvard Ballroom Dance<br />
Team and am absolutely addicted.<br />
The <strong>Legal</strong> <strong>Committee</strong> will be addressing the issues of updating the<br />
Geneva Conventions and the legal status of the South China Sea.<br />
These topics are quite different but they both involve discussing<br />
how the <strong>United</strong> <strong>Nations</strong> would act to maintain peace between<br />
nations and protect the rights of nations, as well as individuals.<br />
I expect that you will work with your fellow capable delegates<br />
to form comprehensive solutions that will address all aspects<br />
of these issues, while staying consistent with your individual<br />
country’s position. I hope that you will also take this opportunity<br />
to converse and learn from your co-delegates and take part in the<br />
wonderful diversity that is <strong>World</strong>MUN.<br />
Until then, I encourage you to contact me with any questions or<br />
comments you may have and I will do my best to respond.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Lotus Cannon<br />
