Political committee

Still worrying about Tibet?

By Elina Sournopoulou and Dimitris Giannopoulos

We’re now attending the political committee where the delegations are discussing two really interesting topics. The first one has to do with the sovereignty of Tibet and the second one with progression towards the democratization of governments, and measures preventing coups d’état. This is going to be a tough one. Alliances have been formed, and the main submitters of the resolution seem to be China and the United States of America. China and the countries of the first alliance are trying to convince the second alliance’s delegates to vote against the sovereignty of Tibet. Are their plans going to work or not? We are all waiting for an answer. Apart from this, the chairs, pretty Marianna and thoughtful Odysseus, have been fairly helpful and the delegates have reached a positive conclusion. The sovereignty of Tibet has been a conflict since 1914 and it is believed that Tibet does not have an independent economy or policy. Now the delegations are moving to the final part. We expect great speeches and we are all very anxious.
