Every year in High Tech High the sophomore class gather and prepare for Model UN. This year the teachers decided to focus it on the recent refugee crisis. The purpose of this mini project was to develop and refine the following skills; research , communication , writing , public Speaking , problem solving and cooperation. The country I was given to represent was Saudi Arabia and the committee I was in was UNHRC. Our committee was supposed to focus on the human rights of refugees. There were two other committees they were WHO and UNICEF. WHO or World health organization had to address the problem of living conditions in refugee camps and how to improve them. Unicef was in charge of children in refugee camps.

This was one of the many websites I found and used for my research. This was one of the more useful articles as it was a Saudi Arabian author and it described the war on his point of view and brought some valid points that I could use as Saudi Arabia . It explained that some refugees don't want a temporary shelter from home but want a future for that reason they don't want to create a refugee camp as they think that all they will do is stay and drain money. I encountered this article while looking for the reason why Saudi Arabia didn't want to accept any refugees.
This is my position paper ,the point of this paper was to point out what was wrong, how it is currently affecting my country ,possible solution and my stance/ view on the problem. My final draft changed a lot since the beginning of my first draft.During the early part of my research I found out that Saudi Arabia has accepted 0 refugees but the more I researched the more I realized that these claims were true but false. The country has accepted Syrians as citizens not as refugees. I am most proud of how I worded the first paragraph to make it seem something my country would say.

This is my opening speech , it is what is said before the debate starts. It is used to know what other countries stances are in this problem. I am most proud of the first paragraph because it was something that took time to make and I had to reword several times until it felt smooth.The best critique I got was from Levi who has done model UN in the past , he helped me create a good proposal and concluding statement.
