Opening Speech
Honorable delegates and distinguished chair: The delegation of
Japan believes that the topic of Science and Technology is a very
important one to our United Nations assembly. We feel that the
problems resulting from abusive experimentation associated with
science and technology are ones that can affect all peoples of the
world. We believe this because:
Cloning is very controversial because there are so many
different opinions.
These problems need the attention of the United Nations and we
have ideas for how we might solve this problem together:

Sample Opening Speeches:
Honorable chair, fellow delegates and distinguished guests:
The delegation of Sudan realizes the importance of a world without a digital divide
between MDCs and LDCs, genetic privacy and nondiscrimination, as well as resolution
on the issues between Israel and Palestine. However the delegate of Sudan wishes to
especially focus on digital access among all countries, for all people. The digital divide
between MDCs and LDCs is something that needs to be bridged in order to help lower
the rates of poverty worldwide and give many LDCs a better economy. As an LDC,
Sudan is affected by this issue because of its lack of up to date digital access. The
delegate of Sudan believes that a possible solution to the bridging of the digital divide is
assistance from MDCs to LDCs in the form of programs, donations, and training. The
delegate of Sudan looks forward to hearing and debating other delegations’ opinions on
this and other issues.
Forum: Human Rights 2
Question of: The Use of torture in criminal interrogation procedures
Country: United States Of America
Honorable chair and fellow delegates; the United States is extremely privileged to attend
this conference. In the past few years, the United States and several allies have been
fighting a campaign in Iraq as part of its war on terror. Many lives were lost, but after
long, hard combat the US finally defeated dictator Saddam Hussein. After his removal,
the United States has been working to rebuild Iraq into a democracy and soldiers have
stayed behind to eliminate insurgents. However, the delegation from the United States
feels that its progress in Iraq has come to the point where the Iraqi government can
handle itself independently, as is needed for any strong democracy. Beginning in 2011,
the United States will begin withdrawing its soldiers from its Iraq. It has faith in the Iraqi
people and know that they will be able to become a healthy nation. Thank you.
