Closing Ceremonies

From stimulating debate to a party tonight, today has been an unforgettable one.



We started the day off this morning with breakfast in our hotel (which was very good). We then proceeded to walk to the conference at the World Forum Convention Center, one of the biggest in the world. From there, everyone went to their respective committees, mine being General Assembly 6, the Legal Committee. Within all the committees, at least one resolution was debated, and afterwards confessions were read. For those who don't know, confessions is a box that holds different comments from people in the committee. The best confession in my committee resulted in a kid singing Wrecking Ball (even though he could not sing at all). After that we went to the plenary session where the General Assembly as a whole debated 4 resolutions and passed 3 of them. Our own Adam Cohen asked a question to a speaker on a resolution, and it was in front of the entire General Assembly. Representing Norway in the Plenary Session was Me, Adam, Arman, and Gavin. Representing IMF was Ian.
    
After Plenary was the closing ceremony which consisted of many heartfelt speeches from long-time MUNers. It was very cool. Then, all the flags from every country were waved on stage (over 150) and can be seen below. Once the closing ceremonies were over, we went back to the hotel, and at 8 we left for the dance. It was a lot of fun, and was a great way to finish a week no one will ever forget.
