Hello, my name is Sherby Joseph and this is my blog about my Model UN adventures. In my life I never dreamed of being apart of something so important and educational. This class started out as just a club thing I would do afterschool, but became such a big part of my growing into adulthood. I wasn’t the type of student who would be into world affairs. In fact I hated politics and I still do now, but because of MUN I’m aware of issues in the global community. Joining MUN is one of the best choices I have made throughout my high school experience and I would recommend it to any student the likes to debate and solve global issue.
M.U.N!!!!!!!! : )
I believe that at the conference I will gain more information on different Global issues. Being in Model UN and going to different conferences has opened my mind about the world around me. Also because of how much knowledge I gained about Global problem I was able to use it on my regent and pass with a very high score. The conferences are a big help for me in school my teacher has always said that going to the conferences put you head because you not only do so much research, but you get to form your on solution to the problem. These conferences have helped my grades a lot in school.
The first couple of times I went to a conference I as not to sure about my social skills and debating skills. When I’m in a big crowd I get shy, but from participating in other conferences have opened up and I changed in the ay I response to others. My confidants has grown and I know that if I go to this conference at Harvard I will argue with all my heart and debate until my mouth gets sore. I can promise that I will bring my to game to the conference.
Climate change has had many negative effects on the world, recently in the continent of Africa there have been series droughts that have left African people to fight and kill to find resource to feed their families. In the republic of Sudan climate change has created a horrible civil war between the people of Darfur and the Muslims of Sudan. Our world resources are becoming scarce with each passing day, beautiful green lands are turning into dried up desserts, many countries that are surrounded by water will some to swallow up by the sea due to rising sea levels. Within Sudan we have been implementing the National Adaptation Plan of Action which will help the people of Sudan to not only adapt but change the way they use resources to a more eco-friendly way. Adding more programs that educate, also help countries deal with climate change, but these programs should also show they country new way to appreciate the limited amount of resource they have. The republic of Sudan feels that if nothing is done now, in the very near future all countries of the wonderful world will no longer exist.

Topic: Capital Punishment
“One of the uses of our system of justice is to warn others… we are reforming not the hanged individual, but everyone else.” Michel de Montaigue , Capital Punishment is an issue where the people of a country are having their rights violated. The countries with capital punishment are usually smaller countries that have no there way of punishing a person for the crimes they commit.
The Republic of Benin is a country where capital punishment has been legal since 1987. We believe capital punishment is reasonable way of charging a person. Not have capital punishment could raise the rate of crime in our country. Being part of the a big country like Africa where people are being killed almost everyday using capital punishment on rebel group are a good way letting other groups no Benin does not accept “Trouble makers”.
In Benin capital punishment is and will continue to be legal , we only use punishment of this type when a citizen of our crime commits a dangerous crime. Our forms of punishment are harsh, but they show other that no crime will go unpunished. Capital punishment is one of the best ways to solve the issue of crime.
The republic of Benin has no problem will capital punishment in fact the has no been and execution since 1987. We let are people understand and know that there will be no hesitation to use capital punishment on high crime. The citizens of Benin know the no one exception of these . Capital punishment is a great way of keep crime off the street of Benin.
Benin has already expressed publicly that we will not be abolishing capital punishment anytime soon. We understand that the UN feel that capital is very harsh, but in our country it is needed. Benin are a country within Africa and in these times there are many rebel group who feel should get capital punishment for the crimes they have done.
The republic of Benin would like the UN to keep in mind that there are still country who are struggling and need a way to keep the people of their country in check. It is not wrong to punishment the actions of other who are trying to endanger the innocent people around them. We have slow down the rate of executions, but to abolish capital punishment completely is something our country is not ready to do.
