Hello everyone!
My name is Emad Siddiq and I am a sophomore here at UC Berkeley intending to major in Computer Science and Economics. I was born in Saudi Arabia but grew up in Islamabad, Pakistan. I grew up speaking three languages (Pashto, Urdu and English) and can speak some Italian. I passionately follow Pakistani politics, play the Rabab (listen to it on youtube!) and love Sufi poetry and qawallis. MUN has been an active part for nearly eight years now and I am very enthusiastic about the topics the Chairs have chosen this year. I am also awful at introducing myself but I look forward to meeting you all and hope for a memorable conference!

Please format your papers according to the general guidelines available to you on the BMUN website. For your convenience,  here  is the link to the position paper guidelines as they appear on our committee's page .

Now, I would like to direct your attention to the tech policy for NATO at BMUN LXVII. Our committee will be an "unmod tech" committee, which means that laptops, tablets, phones and other electronic devices are only permitted during unmoderated caucuses, and for our THIMUN committee, during lobbying in the first committee session on Friday. During debate, all electronic devices are to be placed inside your backpacks. Of course, if there are separate circumstances that require you to use electronic devices during debate, please write to us and let us know. You are also welcome to approach us during conference before we b...
