This is the final draft of my final article:
When the committee session increased six fold, so did the progress and mistakes made by DISEC on Friday morning. The meeting began with a discussion on what should be given more priority: Protection on non-nuclear states from nuclear ones, or International Terrorism. Through this long and well-fought discussion, several mistakes were made, and they have been recorded below.
The first mistake was made by the Delegate of France. The delegate supported the idea of scrutinizing the nuclear 'problem' first, and said that people should 'stop nuclear disarmament', the exact opposite of what she should have said. She quickly corrected herself before anyone could comment.
Next came from the Delegate of Egypt. His case was of severe misinformation, a fact realized by everyone when he said that nuclear weapons were created to 'destroy terrorism', which is not true. The U.S.A first used nuclear weapons in 1947 at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan in retaliation to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It had nothing to do with terrorism; in fact, Al Qaeda was made in 1998, 41 years after.
The Delegate of China, Prabsehej Sethi (also the brother of chair Avtej Sethi) seemed to be unable to understand the need or formal language during committee sessions, saying "Hi everybody. Nuclear weapons are an important thing, so I guess we should talk about it." Avtej later leapt at the chance to chide his elder brother, calling him 'cheeky'.
Speaking of Avtej, he and co-chair Vrinda Kanani were urged to dance after the motion for entertainment passed in DISEC. He later sang 'Baby' by the teen sensation, Justin Bieber, for ECOSOC.
Finally, a voting was held and the majority voted or Nuclear Disarmament. Only a few other delegates made mistakes-the rest clearly expressed their country's view on the topic. Although the Delegate of South Africa began a fiery debate with the Delegate of U.S.A., when he stated that the 'U.S.A. should stop supplying nuclear arms to Pakistan,' and that a country as unstable as Pakistan would only 'destroy itself.'
The DISEC committee also worked on a draft resolution, which stated that 'all nuclear weapons should be given to the UN and deactivated' and that they 'can only be activated with prior permission of the UN.' It seems that they are a lot closer to a logical solution, and who knows, maybe they could pose as models for the real UN!
A small investigation later revealed a chit saying: "To the Chair: The Delegate of Spain would like to oppose the Delegate of Spain." No doubt it was meant as a joke when the writer was caught in a severe case of boredom. Perhaps he/she knew the Press would have a good laugh over it!
But the climax came when the Delegate of the United Arab Emirates came up. She declared war on every country, who in their turn declared war on her. This was the official beginning of the Model World War III caused entirely by the Delegate of U.A.E.
The U.A.E. delegate was also caught in a highly dramatic discovery when the Press found a note saying "USA loves UAE!" Both delegates refused to comment, although the Delegate of U.S.A. insisted that he did not write the note and proceeded to say a few words that are best left unsaid.
