Resolution on the Iran Nuclear Controversy:
Arab Republic of Egypt (By Natalie Youssef)
Iran gaining nuclear power
ALL ARAB NATIONS SHOULD HAVE NUCLEAR ENERGY, BUT NO NUCLEAR BOMBS
WHICH CANNOT BE CHANGED BY AMMENDMENT
The General Assembly,
Fully aware that developing nuclear weapons in Iran is a problem,
Realizing that this will destabilize the regions and the Middle East,
Bearing in mind that giving Iran nuclear power will create anger with surrounding countries that will not be as powerful,
Having heard that the United States doesn’t want Iran to gain nuclear power,
Observing that Iran believes they should be able to gain nuclear power to be able to protect their people,
Recalling that the United States is the only country to have committed a nuclear launch on a live target,
Having examined that holding nuclear power in Iran is one of the most eminent threats for stability and security in the Middle East,
Deeply concerned that Egypt will no longer maintain its role as a key country in the Middle East,
Welcoming a solution that would be in best interest for both Iran and the surrounding countries,
1. Urges that the Middle Eastern countries be able to gain nuclear energy:
(a) To monitor the nuclear power with an agency;
(b) An agency that is generated with a delegate from each country;
(c) With rules that will be followed, and if broken, that country will no longer have the privilege of nuclear energy;
(d) With a main rule that does not allow creating a bomb with their nuclear energy;
2. Recommends that the solution with Middle Eastern countries having the same amount of power is established;
3. Takes note that if Iran develops nuclear power, we can assume that many countries such as Jordan, Egypt, Yemen, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, UAE, and Saudi Arabia would want to develop their own programs;
4. Supports that with an agency that monitors the nuclear energy, Middle East would be a safe and friendly environment to each other;
5. Expresses its hope for both Iran and surrounding countries to maintain nuclear energy that is monitored for all countries to have an equal power;
6. Draws the attention that all Iran’s surrounding countries would gain power instead of Iran gaining more power than all the surrounding countries;
7. Encourages that this problem is soon dealt with using this fair solution that will safely monitor the nuclear energy.

Although Iran wants to gain nuclear weapons to protect themselves, nuclear power in Iran is one of the biggest threats for stability and security in the Middle East.
With that in mind, the best solution for both Iran and the surrounding countries would be for Middle Eastern countries to be able to gain nuclear energy that can be monitored with an agency. Right now Egypt is a key country in the Middle East peace process, and if Iran were to be able to create nuclear power many of the surrounding countries including Egypt would be in a huge disadvantage knowing that they will not remain a powerful country in the Middle East. Giving nuclear reactors is dangerous. Not only would the surrounding countries be in a disadvantage, but also Israel believes that they could be in danger if Iran were to get nuclear power and were to create a bomb to bomb the Israelis people.
In support for resolution 1d, this resolution is mainly stating that Iran should be able to have nuclear power that is monitored in a way that is safe with no nuclear bombs or weapons. I agree with operative number 5, however I would only change a couple of things so that it says, “Emphasizes that the Iranian people and surrounding countries should be permitted to have nuclear energy, but should be highly regulated and constant visits should occur by the IAEA visits will occur: three to four times a mouth.” That way we know that the nuclear energy will be safely monitored and the surrounding countries will have the same amount of power as Iran, knowing that Egypt is a key country in the Middle East, and doesn’t want that to change. Another operative I agree with is number 8 because it is stating that if Iran is caught with any enriched uranium, they will be severely fined. This way they will have a consequence to their actions if they choose to break the rules. All together I strongly agree with letting Iran and surrounding countries to have nuclear energy that is monitored, realizing that if Iran is just allowed to have nuclear energy then that will destabilize the regions and Middle East. I encourage this council to vote for 1d.

Resolution on the Palestinians Right of Return:
United Nations High Commission on Refugees
The Arab Republic of Egypt (Natalie Youssef)
GRANT PALESTINIANS THE RIGHT OF RETURN
WHICH CANNOT BE CHANGED BY AMENDMENT
The General Assembly,
Fully believing that Palestinians should have the right to return to Israel,
Deeply concerned that there is to many people in Egypt to begin with and that they cannot afford 10,000 Palestinians in our country,
Having considered that dividing Israel in half due to population would be a solution,
Convinced that if Israel was divided for both Palestinians and Israelis than there will be peace among everyone,
Bearing in mind that the Palestinians started off in Israel to begin with,
Fully aware that we are in danger of an incidence that is somewhat similar to what we did to the Jews in the holocaust to the Palestinians,
Observing that Palestinians cannot get any jobs or education and are in refugee camps surrounded by walls with nowhere to go,
1.Requests that the Palestinians are sent back to Israel with a two state system;
2. Strongly supports that with 81 million people in Egypt already, having 100,000 Palestinians is not fair to expand refugee camps into Arab cities:
(a) Palestinians cannot get a free education, good jobs, land, or basically any freedom;
(b) The Egyptians do not support the Palestinians, and also the UN doesn’t support, assist, or protect any of the Palestinians in Egypt;
(c) Egyptians believe Palestinians deserve neither sympathy nor assistance;
3. Encourages that Palestinians should be able to go back to their homes to have peace for them and the Arab nations;
4. Considers that for the past sixty-two years Palestinians have been living in refugee camps;
5. Expresses its hope that there will be peace among neighboring nations with Israelis and Palestinians;
6. Draws the attention that not only does the Israelis not want the Palestinians to go back to their main home, but Arab countries don’t want Palestinians in their countries either;
7. Urges that the United Nations create a state plan like the on in 1947, and create more room for Palestinians:
(a) By sending everyone back it will solve all the chaos with all the refugee camps out of Israel;
(b) Willing to pay money to Israel to have all the Palestinians return to Palestine;
(c) With room like the 1947 state plan so that it is fair with the population of the Palestinians;
8. Expresses its hope that Palestinians can go back to Israel, keeping in mind that Egypt is the most populated country in the Middle East.

Palestinians Right of Return
Although Israel fears that Palestinians right of return will threaten their sovereignty and Jewish nation, the Arab Republic of Egypt is convinced that a two state system, like the one in 1947, would be the best solution to end the refugee camps in the surrounding areas. The two state system would solve the problem of the land in Israel by Israelis can still practice their Jewish culture and beliefs, while keeping peace with their Palestinian neighbors.
I strongly support the UN state plan of 1947 because it is the most logical and fair arrangement with the large number of Palestinians returning from refugee camps. I also think that it is best for Palestinians to return to where they came from rather than placing them in places such as Egypt where they have no ties to their roots. To solve this resolution we as a country are willing to pay Israel for the return of Palestinians. With 81 million people already living in Egypt, if the Palestinians were to expand into our country, it would result in more deprivation than what they are currently facing.

MUN Reflection
1. What are you most proud of about this conference? In this conference I am most proud of my ability to stay on topic with my countries perspective. In fact some countries were getting mad at me because I was arguing for what would be best for my country, which was not what other countries wanted. I think I had a lot of information from my research, but I think I could have had even more.
2. What did you connect with most in this project, and how did that affect your conference performance? When I made a speech and used a lot of evidence and was debating with my enemies it made me connect with the material and maybe consider going into politics later on. After so much research and studying different perspectives I gained an opinion, which was hard, because I didn’t agree with my country completely so I had to use lots of evidence to make my speeches persuasive.
3. What was the most important thing you learned in this project? Why? I learned that the UN deals with a lot and that there are so many huge problems that are difficult to find a solution to. Everyone could find a solution, but barley any one agreed with each other. I could imagine that there can be more violence caused after one of these conferences.
4. If you were a teacher or observer, what would you say about your performance in the conference? I had lots of evidence, but I needed even more. I stayed in my countries perspective the whole conference, but I could be more active and opinionated on things. There were times where I could have jumped in and told my perspective, but I didn’t. But I feel like I made a good amount of speeches and comments.
5. We will do another MUN conference in 3 weeks. What will you do to improve your performance? How will you do this? I’m going to write more speeches, because during the conference I ran out of things to say and I had to write about two speeches on the spot because I had more things to say to get my point across. Having a point of information in the middle of my speech is hard to respond to when they are going against what I am trying to say. Also I’m going to provide more information to have with me during the conference.
6. Did you have a resolution or amendment on the docket? Yes I did. I had both.
7. Did any of your resolutions or amendments pass? Yes, mine passed the final vote.
8. Estimate the total number of speeches you made, comments/questions you had: I had a lot of questions and comments throughout the conference and I made about three or four speeches.
9. What grade do you think you should receive for your first real MUN conference? Why? With the amount I talked, information I provided, and debates I had, I think I deserve around an A. I think that I can improve on my information and I could have responded to more comments; however, I came across times when I had something I wanted to say and on a speech and they ran out of comments.
