Exchange of words

At our question about how the delegate of Thailand can describe Russia’s delegate speech, he answered: “She should know that everything about its policy is based on sheer ignorance and manipulating the masses through religion.” This is one detail that Russia’s delegate totally forgot when she was sustaining her debate.

We asked the same question again, but now it was addressed to Russia’s delegate, and her answer was: “This is just a simulation, however I found his speech a little bit inappropriate and I didn’t get his point.”

The second topic was about producing and using synthetic drugs. One of the delegates said, “Many countries live from making drugs and we need something alternative.” The delegate of China supported the idea that the traffic of illegal drugs should be stopped by introducing new legislation.

On the other hand, the delegate of Somalia said that drugs should be allowed, like coffee is. The question is: Can synthetic drugs be replaced? Some delegates support the idea that people can become addicted to drugs from the very first use. This topic had an amendment, proposed by the United States, that urges scientists and doctors “to find [a] replacement for synthetic drugs and to receive a reward afterwards.” After the US delegate finished speaking, the United Arab Emirates proposed an amendment that the US providing the funding required for the US-sponsored amendment.
