Solutions to World Topics Proposed At Model UN
The 6th annual KU-Y Model UN adjourned Saturday afternoon after a two-day session of offering mock solutions to several world problems.
Resolutions proposed on Friday, the first meeting, included:
- The admittance of Gambia to the General Assembly. The members of the Model UN unanimously voted to accept Gambia. Swaebou Conateh, Gambia freshman and chairman of the Gambia delegation, made the acceptance speech.
- The proposal to revoke voting rights of nations in arrears on their dues. Proposed by Malta and the United Kingdom, this resolution received a slim majority, but failed to get the necessary two-thirds majority for passage, reflecting the present situation in the real UN.
- "AMENDMENTS WHICH would have softened the effect of the resolution were defeated," John Sharp, Lawrence junior and advisor of the Western Aligned Asian bloc, said last night.
- The proposal to censure israel, issued by delegations of the United Arab Republic, Syria, Algeria, Lebanon, and Jordan, passed.
"I consider this a real blow to the United States position," Sharp said.
This resolution called for a motion to censure the Israeli government for its failure to work toward world peace and its hostility to Arab States.
"I feel this would not have passed in the General Assembly in New York," Sharp said. He said he thought the Arab bloc at KU was stronger than that at New York.
- The proposal to take action against Portugal because of its African colonies, which passed. Amendments to soften the resolution were defeated. The final action called for giving Portugal six months to "prepare and grant" independence to its two African colonies, Angola and Mozambique; asking Portugal to relinquish its hold on these two countries to become UN trust territories if independence is refused; expelling Portugal from the General Assembly if it failed to comply with either of the above statements.
The agenda was amended to allow the Kashmir question to come up.
The resolution to vote on Viet Nam, asking involved countries to negotiate, proposed by Ethiopia, was tabled.
the Kashmir question to come up. THE PROPOSAL to establish a UN plebiscite in Kashmir to let the people determine whether they shall be governed by India or Pakistan was tabled.
The model UN ended with an
