Learn Model UN from experienced advisers and chairs!
Description:
The Baltimore Area Training Model United Nations Conference is hosted by Mount Saint Joseph Model United Nations in collaboration with the University of Maryland Model UN Delegation to bring a high-quality training conference for novice delegates to the Baltimore Area. All materials and lunch are provided.
This year's topic is United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)
In this committee, delegates will assume the role of states that ratified the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), known as the Constitution of the Oceans. These members convene to address two issues facing the modern world. Topic A surrounds the disputes in the South China Sea; delegates will be challenged to examine how the territorial disputes intersect with international law, and consider the UN’s role in its resolution. Topic B focuses on closing the gaps in the UNCLOS treaty, which has led to a lack of enforcement and resolution gaps. Delegates should be prepared to engage in complex, yet highly relevant, political relationships and to understand why some treaties are more successful than others.
