Tech Policy

Hi delegates!

Hope you all are having a great week so far. Thank you to everyone who submitted their Position Papers to be considered for Research Awards! For everyone else, the final deadline for your Position Papers is February 10th 2019. A reminder that we will not be considering any papers submitted after February 3rd 2019 for Research Awards.

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 begin debate to inform us. We will accommodate you to the best of our abilities.

Finally, please don't forget to keep studying the THIMUN Guide! This has everything you need to know for committee.

That's all from me for now! As always, please don't hesitate to reach out to me via this blog, or by shooting us an email at natolxvii@bmun.org

Iran Missile Program

Hello Delegates, Hope you guys are enjoying the articles we are sharing. For this week, I am sharing this very interesting article that talks about the Iran's Missile Program and the United States foreign policy towards them. The article goes into quite some depth to explain the types of missiles Iran has tried to acquire and why they failed. Hope you enjoy reading it! Yours, Emad Siddiq Vice Chair NATO https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/13/us/politics/iran-missile-launch-failures.html

North Korean Missile Program -- US Options

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/04/world/asia/north-korea-missile-program-sabotage.html Hello delegates! I know you all have a lot on your to-do list, but if you want to be productive while simultaneously reading a really interesting article, check this one out! It details the Obama and Trump administrations and the options both have considered in dealing with the North Korean missile threat. The author discusses these options and their shortcomings, the overarching history, and background. So if you're curious, read on to the end of the article. I have been a delegate before and remember the tedious task of research, so I will try to link articles that I find useful, entertaining, and refreshing on this blog. Good luck!
