Press Corps Harvard Model United Nations 2012 A Letter from the Secretary-General Dear Delegates, Hunter M. Richard Secretary-General Stephanie N. Oviedo Director-General Ana Choi Under-Secretary-General Administration Ainsley Faux Under-Secretary-General Business Alexandra M. Harsacky Comptroller Sofia Hou Under-Secretary-General Innovation and Technology Juliana Cherston Under-Secretary-General General Assembly S. Ethan Lyle Under-Secretary-General Economic and Social Council Charlene S. Wong Under-Secretary-General Specialized Agencies I could not be more honored to welcome you to the fifty-ninth session of Harvard Model United Nations. Our entire staff of 205 Harvard undergraduates is eager to join with you this January at the Sheraton Boston for an exciting weekend of debate, diplomacy, and cultural exchange. You and your 3,000 fellow delegates join a long legacy of individuals passionate about international affairs and about the pressing issues confronting our World. Founded in 1927 as Harvard Model League of Nations, our organization has evolved into one of America’s oldest, largest, and most international United Nations simulations. Drawing from this rich history, Harvard Model United Nations has strived to emphasize and promote the unique impact of the UN and its mandates in the eradication of humanity’s greatest problems. Despite its difficulties and often-unfortunate image in the press, the United Nations is truly a global body with representation of 193-member states and is the closest the World has ever achieved to a “Parliament of Man.” At HMUN, we strive to recreate this body and the international environment it fosters through our emphasis on welcoming more and more international delegations to our conference each year. For the fifty-ninth session, HMUN is proud to welcome delegations from over 35 countries to share their experiences with others from across the World. Not only can you debate global issues in committee, but also discuss the China-US relations with a delegate hailing from Shanghai or EU economic policy with a delegate from Germany. I encourage you to go above and beyond research and discussions within your committee to learn from your fellow delegates. In this guide, you are about to embark on a valuable intellectual endeavor. Your committee director has worked tirelessly to research and compile this extensive background guide. Please use it as a foundation in your own research for committee and to contribute to your debates and final resolutions. I wish you the best of luck in your preparation and in committee this January. Sincerely, 59 Shepard Street, Box 205 Cambridge, MA 02138 Voice: (617)-398-0772 Fax: (617) 588-0285 Email: info@harvardmun.org www.harvardmun.org Hunter M.

Press Corps Harvard Model United Nations 2012 Dear Delegates of Press Corps, Hunter M. Richard Secretary-General Stephanie N. Oviedo Director-General Ana Choi Under-Secretary-General Administration Ainsley Faux Under-Secretary-General Business Alexandra M. Harsacky Comptroller Sofia Hou Under-Secretary-General Innovation and Technology Juliana Cherston Under-Secretary-General General Assembly S. Ethan Lyle Under-Secretary-General Economic and Social Council Charlene S. Wong Under-Secretary-General Specialized Agencies Welcome to the Press Corps Program of Harvard Model United Nations 2011! It is my honor to have you all in one of the most innovative committees at HMUN. Having read all of your Special Applications, I am confident that not only will you bring creativity and passion to the conference, but you will also enjoy your four days here as Press Corps reporters. The Press Corps at HMUN is truly a unique committee. You will get the opportunity to interact with every other committee, use cutting technology to create videos and blogs, and get to know the staff behind the scenes of HMUN 2012. There is no comparison in terms of committee dynamism. From interviewing delegates and directors, to holding press conferences, to writing up opinion and news pieces, to photography and using the cuttingedge GreenScreen technology, Press Corps has it all. But most importantly, you will provide the media coverage for the entire conference. Through the Press Corps website, all the delegates, staff, and faculty advisors will be able to follow the most recent events. The Press Corps staff has also been working tremendously hard over the past months to make the delegate experience truly spectacular. They bring their own experience and passion to Press Corps and are fully committed to making this year’s Press Corps the best Press Corps. When reading this study guide, I urge delegates to go beyond in terms of scope - be it researching a committee beforehand or staying on top of the current news. As always, please feel free to ask me any questions before the conference. I look forward to seeing you in Boston in January.
