Today we woke up early (exept Zack attack who over-slept) and headed off to the John F. Kennedy school to join the opening of the GA. The opening was beautifully set up of inspiring speeches by Professor Dr. Peter Eigen (Founder of Transparency International) and Greg Delawie (First Secretary of the US Embassy in Berlin). The speeches was followed by a question and answer session, where many curious delegates asked questions on our topic on this years BERMUN 2009, Global Ethics: Rules for Global Welfare.
After the opening, we were splitted into our committees, where I as a delegate representing Turkey in the Environment Committee discussed the questions concerning ensuring ecological sustainability in times of economic crises. After six hours of debating, the session had come to an end, and I could happily join the others. Alexandra had been working in the Political Committe, and John and Zack had been debating in the Security Council.
Gossip of the day: The Madame President kindly commented on Zack-attack´s orange-blue striped socks, where she deeply suggested that he should change his socks for tomorrow. Zack proudly answered: "Off course I always change my socks in the morning, don´t you?". Madame President smiled and then walked away. He then received a note where she claimed his socks as VERY informal. Zack has already planned his outfit for tomorrow: his stylish suit with a colorful scarf and pink-white striped socks. We looking forward with anticipation to hear Madame President´s comments on Zack´s outfit.
Have a nice evening,
Marte
