CSUDH’s
Model United Nations (MUN) class won top honors at the 2008 MUN meeting
held in Santa Barbara, April 10-12. Students Mele Kaveinga and Chikezie
Nwafor received two of the five awards given to the conference’s
outstanding performers, for representing the International Criminal
Court and United Nations Security Council, respectively. In addition,
Joshua Braun received honorable mention for his representation of
Malaysia in the United Nations Environmental Program. In total, 34
students represented 12 countries and international organizations from
around the world. MUN is a regular class offered by the Political Science Department each spring at CSUDH. The conference is part of the culmination of their work, where students debate, research, draft, and pass resolutions on a variety of topics such as the Arab-Israeli conflict and the rights of detainees. The delegates participated in five committees: the United Nations Security Council, UN Environmental Program, International Criminal Court, Special Commission on International Law, and Human Rights Commission. The delegates competed with 14 other universities from throughout the region and Alaska.
