The Model United Nations The Hague, Netherlands he world is a complicated place. No two nations seem to cooperate for very long. The United Nations was established to provide a forum for nations to meet and talk about their differences in- stead of fight. The Model United Nations pro- vides a chance for high school stu- dents to meet, in the Hague, Nether- lands, in delegations representing the countries of the world to debate is- sues, propose, and vote on resolutions before the General Assembly 1 eX- actly like the ttreali, United Nations in Rockefeller Plaza, in New York City. By doing this, the students get a first hand look at the way issues come be- fore delegations, are debated from eve ery angle, 8L are compromised and voted on. Julius Tsai won the distinction of best delegate from Heidelberg High School. He presented a proposal on refugee committees which was passed by the General Assembly. Tracy Van Wormer acted as the ambassador for Peru and spoke against Ecuadorean aggression. Top: Tracy Van Wormer speaks before the General Assembly against Ecuadorian aggression.
