Delegates create chaos in their committee, forcing chairs to get involved. Chairs were accused of not stepping in at the right times by China. Aggravated, one of the chairs was forced to call out China, Pakistan, and Nepal for suggesting nuclear bombing as a solution to their many problems especially since these countries have their own internal problems to deal with. Conflict of interests in the ever-changing blocs of this committee require delegates to form lasting alliances.
On the first conference day, Nepal and Bhutan became allies. However, on the following day, China requested to ally with Nepal in hopes of gaining information about Bhutan. Nepal accepted, violating the national foreign policy. Allegedly, China and Nepal interrogated Bhutanese officials for information, betraying Bhutan.
Bhutan allied with the USA as a retort, only to face threats from China to “nuke” them unless the chairs stepped in to solve their personal issues. The involvement of Chairs, however, backfired on China as its delegates faced backlash for using nuclear bombs as a solution to “personal beef”. The deputy head chair expressed his strong views on this unacceptable behavior from China and Nepal, declining China its right to reply. China has since tried to expose Bhutan’s threats of “nuking hoes”, in an attempt to salvage their reputation in her GSL.
The delegates seem more focused on pointing fingers instead of addressing their issues and solving them. There is total disregard for unity in this committee to solve the problem at hand even though it is already the last day of the conference. As the Dais have stated, it is imperative that delegates direct their attention to solutions and the safety of civilians.
