The United Nations Economic and Social Council
Welcome to the United Nations Economic and Social Council here at ReadiMUN15. Our Chairs have arranged for some very interesting topics for you to debate.
Topic A: Intellectual Property Rules on Pharmaceuticals: Permanent Exemption for Least Developed Countries.
Topic B: Promoting the rights of migrant workers in the Middle East.
ECOSOC is renowned for being a central platform for reflection, debate, and innovative thinking within the United Nations. Have your say this November!
All countries on the Council will be taken from the current membership of the ECOSOC Council in the actual UN. So be in for a chance for a real MUN simulation here in Reading.
Position Papers are due Wednesday 25th November, as determined by the Chairs. Please submit them via email to the ECOSOC account, as specified below. If you have any questions, please address David and Zara.

Co-ChairIntroducing Zara Ireland
Zara Ireland is ironically from Scotland!
Three months ago, she moved back from Qatar, where she had been living for the past six years. This is where she began her MUN journey and attended conferences across the country, meeting people from all over the world. Now she is living in West Yorkshire and is studying A-level Literature, Economics, Spanish and History. After her A-levels, her goal is to study Law and Spanish at university and in the future she would love to work in international human rights law. Outside of MUN, she loves travelling, reading and hiking, especially in the beautiful Scottish countryside. ReadiMUN will be her first conference in the UK and she is really looking forward to being a part of the whole experience! Zara is the author to Topic B of the Study Guide for ECOSOC.
If you have any questions regarding Topic B, it would be advisable to contact Zara directly. | ||
