Hello! My name is Danielle Tyukody and I am very excited to be one of your vice chairs for NATO this year! I am a sophomore at UC Berkeley majoring in political science with a specialization in comparative politics, and minoring in education. I have been a part of BMUN for the past two years, and I have enjoyed every minute of it. Outside of BMUN, I am an avid rock climber, and enjoy leading the competitive team for Cal Climbing here at Berkeley. This summer, I got my Nitrox Diving Certification in the Cayman Islands, and completed an online class. I wish you all the best, and cannot wait to see everyone in March. Good luck!

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 b...

Stability in the Kashmir Region

Hello delegates, For this week's blog post, I thought I would highlight the current situation along the Kashmiri Line of Control (LoC). As you all know, there has been an official ceasefire along the line of control for decades. However, there are routinely breaches of that ceasefire; in 2017 there were 971 cross-border firing events. In 2018, that number more than doubled, with 2140 official firing events. I've attached an article that goes into more details on these events, as well as briefly talks about the Indian government's response to the situation.
