Everything ends…
As this conference is coming to an end, we truly hope that you had a worthwhile experience
during these three days.
If this was your first MUN, we keep our fingers crossed that it would not be your last and if it
was not your first MUN, we hope that some improvements were seen and you will ”keep
coming back for more”. We trust you had made the right decisions as they will affect how
future events and conflicts will be dealt with.
Last but not least, we thank our MUN directors who have been thoroughly devoted to this
year’s conference, Ms. Georgeta Voicila and Ms. Anca Manea, the successors of Ms. Ioana
Albu. Nonetheless, we also thank the Secretary General, Miss Magda Simona Tînjală, and the
Deputy Secretary General, Silvia Andreea Taftă, for putting so much of their time and
patience in the organization of GalMUN 2015. On top of this, we thank the chairs, the
organizational team, the messengers, the photographers, the sponsors, the school
representatives and, most importantly, our fellow delegates, who seemed to be hand-picked –
devoted, ambitious, courageous, creative, serious...–, for making this conference possible.
We declare this year’s conference closed and we are looking forward to seeing you the
following edition of GalMUN!

“ᴑ (Finite) Earth cannot satisfy ∞ (infinite) needs with a simple twist”
“Better poor and free than slave and sorry”
“Finite Earth” had been debated thoroughly before the
realization of the final resolution. Immigration,
sustainable agriculture, populating other planets and all
types of pollution were analyzed and considered as major
factors in the next steps towards a more ecofriendlysociety. The chairs constantly reminded the delegates
that the clock was ticking and humanity is not-so-slowlyanymore going towards destruction. They were warned
that if they would not finish the draft resolution yesterday
– in due time – they would have to eat it – literally.
A serum that removes the cognitive functions has been
identified in a Swiss lab in Cerne. What will this serum
be used for? Is it safe to allow countries to possess such
weapons? How does this affect people’s freedom?
Today, I witnessed the finalization of the resolution and I
am glad to say that some of their solutions are exactly
what this planet needs – proposals such as the gradual
orientation towards the colonization of other planets or
encouragements far adoption . The delegate of France
touched a blind spot by admitting that “We have an
economy that tells us that it is cheaper to destroy Earth in
real time rather than renew, restore, and sustain it. You
can print money to bail out a bank, but you cannot print
th They managed to surpass my
life to bail out a planet”.

The committee’s delegates and chairs learnt in these few
days how to work as a team, how to solve problems and
how to have fun. Their team building game –in which
they all had to simulate inventions – was creative and
well organized. Microwaves, tanks, coffee-grinders,
meat-mincers and casino-fooling-machines were all on
their guess-list.
Wow, it seems like the chairs of the Crisis committee
gave the delegates some food for thought! But, as
expected, they managed to deal with it fast. The delegates
showed their open-mindedness and did not completely
reject the idea of using such a serum. After some minutes
of unmoderated caucus, they created a set of regulations
for the usage of the serum. „Taking into consideration the
noble aim of the serum, Switzerland expresses its hope
that the other countries will not perceive it as a weapon,
but instead as a medical product and an alternative to the
anti-depressants which have a negative impact on the
brain”.
One can see that there is a majority of girls in the
committee, as no wars were declared during the sessions.
The solution found to this crisis in ECOSOC cannot be
compared with the solutions found in the Crisis
committee, for instance, where the main ideas revolved
around bombing and killing (destroying, to quote UK).
Last but not least, we will surely remember the chairs’
dances with the rake and the broom as the most exquisite
dance ever. See you all next year!

International Court of Justice Committee
“Humanity solves what justice cannot”
The second day of conference was the one when the attorneys backed up their cases with the witnesses’
testimonies and evidence that consisted of both photos and videos.
After a heated argument between the two sides, it seemed there was still a long way to go until we could find out
what the answer to this question was: What country is more at fault for the many lives lost?
The Attorneys of Defense protected the interests of Serbia with devotion, but at some point they contradicted
themselves. The Attorneys of Accusation had not missed the opportunity and pointed out the flaws, reducing the
other side’s credibility and gaining ground for themselves.
What would the outcome of this debate be, what conclusions would the judges reach and what country would be
accused of genocide? We had been waiting for the final decision for a long time and the witnesses coming
forward and presenting their dramatic cases for more information were critical to the proceeding of the case and
our personal opinions on the final outcome.
Four witnesses were brought before the judges: two from each side. The defense came forward with a widow
and a concentration camp survivor and the accusation also brought a woman whose husband had been killed and
a Chief Master a of the Air Force, whose testimony was the only one that passed the judges’ decision.
On the one hand, the Attorneys of Accusations brought forward valid questions, attacking where they had to
point out the flaws in the witnesses’ of defense testimonies. On the other hand, the judges were inquisitive of the
accusation’s witnesses.
For as long as the Attorneys of Defense insisted on the Ustaše movement and how it affected the Serbian
population on Croatian territory, we wondered whether these survivors who suffered atrocities in the
concentration camps were the rebels that later attacked Croatia.
When it came to present the evidence, the Attorneys of Accusation were shown for a second time the photos of
the barbarity committed against Serbians in the concentration camps during the WW2, there were some doubts
on the credibility of these pieces of evidence, as it follows:
Attorney of Defense: “Here a Serbian prisoner is going to have his head cut off!”
Attorney of Accusation: “That seems like a park. How do you know that those people weren’t playing truth or
dare in fact?”
Attorney of Defense: “Here prisoners are drowned by the Ustaše members”
Judge: “Oh, c’mon, nobody has to be an expert to recognize baptizing!”
Attorney of Defense: “They are surely dead, how can anybody sleep with blood on their face?”
Attorney of Accusation: “It may be a tattoo, not necessarily blood…”

Security Council
CRISIS
“Allahu Akbar – it means what you choose to believe it means”
“Surprise the Crisis! Do not let it surprise you”
Being the smallest committee in our conference, the Security
Council dealt with the challenging ISIS. The resolution that
passed took into consideration the problem from all points of
view - religious, political, military, social - and proposed
solutions such as telecommunication should be banned and
stopped by launching a satellite in space, the complete
elimination of commerce with ISIS or the extraction of
civilians from the affected areas as to rehabilitate the war
zone. They did everything in their power to reach territorial
stability. Not to forget that they solved the crisis before time
was called.
As we all expected, the delegates did not abstain from
bombing each other. Chaos reigned and Honorable Chair
Marina Hercka decided to take a break from trying to stop
the maniacs from killing the world (destroying, sorry UK)
and preferred to be zen for a few minutes outside the
committee borders.
Socially speaking, after yesterday’s hectic day, the
SabiMUN2015 revolutionized this year’s conference by taking
the delegates of the Security Council to McDonald’s to show
them how next year’s GalMUN would look like. They enjoyed
their Happy Meals with the next Secretary General (aka
Roland McDonald). When they arrived, they ordered their
food, then they sat at the table looking confused at the
windows, wondering when the food would be the delivered.
Honorable Chair Rares was really happy when somebody
touched his ”Tralala/Ding Ding Dong” (gavel, you nasty
pervert). He even started dancing around the room while
singing (the whole scene has been taped). This Dr.
Doofenshmirtz can not be cured in any way because all him
and his delegates want is to destroy the world. Last but not
least, we contacted Joss Whedon (director of ”The
Avengers”) and he agreed to make his next movie about the
unstoppable Crisis committee. We reckon Thor’s hammer is
not a par on Chair’s Rares Tralala.
The Crisis have been resolved and the Crisis Committee can
be voted anytime the happiest and loudest of them all!
To finalize, we must mention that it has been voted in the
Security Council that this committee has the most beautiful
male and female delegates. See you next year!
UNHRC
“The fate of death penalty hangs by a thread, and the scissors are in your hands”
Yesterday’s crisis was about an ISIS member who killed four people and in one case even taped the
murder and sent it to the local authorities. Their solution was somehow too nice for someone who
committed such crimes. They decided not to torture him in any way and to give him the chance to
be heard. He is now to be imprisoned for life in a secret location.
Taking into consideration the kindness of the chairs and the delegates of HR, they might also
entertain him by visiting him and singing a rap version of Mihai Eminescu’s poetry while dancing
with the rake to him. We must mention that the Russian delegate managed to impress us with his
rapping skills (sorry Honorable Chair Roxana).
All in all, this year’s UNHRC was amongst the most focused and ”professional” committees. We
must thank the honorable delegates of Panic and Hunger for not interfering with the development
of this committee!

Chair 1: “This is not a real case!”

Chair 1: “But we are at GalMUN!!”
Italy : “Since the delegate of USA is not in the

U.S.A.: “I put my finger in instead of you.”
Judge to Chair: “When I look at her, the song
<<Black Widow>> comes to mind.”
Yesterday’s topic : “Let’s bomb Germany”
The accusation was anxious to take as many
breaks as possible (the longer, the better) and,
if the breaks were not enough, they eager to
paint the town red.
Iraq: “Remember what happened last night?”
Chair: “We are not interested in your personal
problems.”
Iraq : “It was something about my clothes.”
Judge: “I know for sure that Ustaše wasn’t

Attorney of accusation: “How can you know

Germany, Syria, France were born "between

One of the delegates of HR broke her phone

There is no sign of Byta in the HR Council. Is

The sleeping beauties are definitely Turkey
and the Netherlands who almost fell asleep
during the debate session.
Chair: “They will feel nothing, only the death”
Security: "It's hammer time!"
Cuba: “Russia does not joke, Russia declares
war”
Chair: “Iraq is certain that the phrase <<This
delegate believe>> is correct.”
Cuba: “No one is flawless, except for
Beyonce.”
Turkey: “The delegate of Turkey would like to
express his opinion” (she's a girl). Conclusion:
ISIS indeed plays with people's minds
