The 2nd Committee of the General Assembly (Economic and Legal) was off to a great start and teeming with positive energy in its lobbying session. The topic of focus under discussion by these eager delegates was the exploitation of African countries by industrialized and industrializing countries. One of the Deputy Chairs Choo Jun from the Hwa Chong Institution, estimated around five successful resolutions brought in by this topic.
An anonymous delegate shared a secret about one of these resolutions, saying, “I don’t want my resolution to pass and go onto plenary… I want it to be debated and criticized because that’s what makes it fun.” The delegate of Greenpeace Sang Min Oh from the Daewon Foreign Language High School, said, “The lobbying process really gives people the time to discuss their topics. We had a hard time choosing clauses because there were so many resolutions, so we broke off into little groups in order to produce good clauses.”
The delegate of Jordan described the issue on the implementation of trade policies as “hard work, although the lobbying process has been going well.” As the other Deputy Chair Aahan Bhojani puts it, the General Assembly 2 is “a committee full of young minds and hearts that will definitely arrive at fruitful solutions.”
