Journal 2.4 : Winding up!

We will be leaving to Kodaikanal tomorrow morning, which means today is our last day of preparation! The best part is that we're finally done finding the answers for the listed questions. Now we're filing all our printouts of information and preparing for our opening speech which we will be giving during the General speakers list. The general speakers list is the third part of the committee session which usually happens at the beginning of the conference, but could also happen at any other time according to the number of delegates who vote for it. Every delegate gives their own views generally for a minute in a form of a speech on the floor. We took help of other opening speeches online to form the basic outline of our speeches and then we timed them. Take a look at my opening speech!

"  Honorable chairs and fellow delegates,

The former secretary general believes that the Kodaikanal mercury contamination case has been a tragic incident in the early 2000s, and yet has significant effects in today's world. This official feels that the problem of children being born with severe physical and mental abnormalities, is one that requires immediate attention, because these effects stand a very high chance of being inherited to the further generations if kept untreated.

Statistically, 45 people including 12 children have lost their lives, and over 600 people have been heavily exposed in this incident, which is believed to have taken place in consequence to the carelessness of HUL. The CRC (Convention on the Rights of the Child) formed by the UN in 1989,

claims that Children's rights include their right to association with basic needs such as health care and criminal laws appropriate for the development of the child. Hence, the former secretary general presumes that this committee would work cooperatively, in order to obey to this law.

This official strongly encourages Hindustan Unilever to expiate, for the devastating mess it caused, in Kodaikanal. Also, the implementation of an appropriate pollution limit which must be followed by all industries, would be appreciated.

On that note, the former secretary general hopes for an effective and constructive debate in order to achieve justice and bring this unresolved issue to a favorable end at the earliest today.

Thank you "

Well, now we're ready to rock the dais!
