Answer 1

Imagine half of the delegates being women and the other half being men and they all have the same voting rights, and perhaps you will see the UN as a model of the human family. Take into consideration that after 60 years of noble effort the UN can talk talk talk about resolving conflict and ending the immature habit of warfare.

Do you argue with your own siblings? Probably so. But do you need to kill them?

To call the UN only a failure is too simplistic. Use your paper to suggest some improvements from your own personal experience.

Answer 2

High school Model UN can be tough for the first year.  I have been to the GSU conference while I was in high school in GA and its a lot of fun, so is the UGA conference.  Here are a couple of suggestions:

1.  Find out what your countries position is on these things.  You said Fiji?  Well, they have had quite the number of military coups and takeovers within the last two years.  If there were any riots or anything during these coups, see if your government used non-lethal weapons.  That would give you a clue to your position.  For small arms trafficking, you probably want to strengthen already existing models for stopping these trades, at least the illegal ones.  For international response mechanisms for chemical and biological weapons, you could try something interesting.  Since you have neither type of weapon, you would probably want the strictist mechanism you could find, so try something like expanding the UN to include similar branches related to chemical and biological weapons as that of the IAEA (nuclear).

2.  You are going to have to do some research.  Fortunately, the internet is a wonderful tool to help.  You can find legitimate documents to support your position as well as facts and figures quickly.  Try some of the websites listed below.

3.  Get one of your classmates or a teacher to check over your working paper.  This paper is basically your position on certain things and how you feel the UN should deal with them.  So you need to say what the problem is, what your country (Fiji's) position is, and what you plan to do to make it better.  

This is a lot of work, but its really fun.  If you need more help, let me know.
