The Busiest Two Days

Sunday and Monday were the busiest days I've had at American Model United Nations. Delegates were busy writing resolutions and getting signatures needed to establish resolutions. That wasn't really a problem for me because all I had to do was read the resolutions and see if the United Arab Emirates would agree to such a resolution. That was until I decided to create my own resolution with the delegates from The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Oman. My resolution is about suggesting that Member States uses the International Civil Aviation Organization as a model to create their own program that would be dedicated to reducing the emission of carbon through aviation.

The writing of the resolution was not difficult, but what was difficult was getting countries to agree with the resolution in order to be signatories of the resolution. In order for me to get 32 signatories on the resolution it took two days and the work of 2 delegates helping me get those signatures. While getting the signatures, I had to work on getting the resolution approved by the Rapporteurs by editing it for the final draft. On Monday, the Rapporteurs approved the resolution and an hour later the resolution was printed and put on the table for the delegates to get a copy and read it. Seeing the resolution on the table made all the trouble and time spent worth the efforts.
