Back in the day with Rwanda

Set in 1994, the United Nations Security Council has been meeting to discuss two of the more crucial events of the 20^th century. At this time, two genocides are about to happen, in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Rwanda. The United Nations is aiming to find a resolution which satisfies all nations taking part in this committee over the past few days. These two critical issues will be covered in the committee of the United Nations Security Council but for now the delegates chose to focus on the African nation of Rwanda. Rwanda, who is a part of the UNHSC this year, keeps denying the already self-evidenced and catastrophic genocide. Meanwhile, delegations of Russia, Pakistan, the United Kingdom, Djibouti and others are very determined to solve this issue through any realistic way. The countries have been discussing possible solutions which can and should be both short-term and long-term.

In the committee, yesterday, the delegates requested that government representatives of the United States and Rwanda should give their countries’ opinions on this situation. The US delegation has stated that this issue is a civil matter and the country is fully committed to working out this issue together. However, the Rwandan government did not seem to accept the war or the genocide in their country and keeps denying everything the other delegates have mentioned.

When it came to debating on the resolution submitted, the majority of the delegation has voted for it except the delegation of the United States. After this, the delegates chose to vote for each clause in order for the resolution to pass.

The debates were good, strong arguments were made, certain nations have been very cooperative and some have been getting too personally involved……
