Letter from the Chair
Greetings Delegate,
It is said that the best to truly judge someone’s resilience and strength is observing them during his
weakest times and seeing him fight out of it. This is what the executive board wishes to see at the G-14 committee at IYC 2017.
Set in an accelerated time frame, we look at problems beyond the horizon. Unlike others, we discuss and resolve issues, not pertaining to a specific region, but to those that threaten the very existence of our kind.
This study guide is just a starting point for research, and gives a background to the futuristic setting. It is vital that each delegate to read this study guide thoroughly to be able to follow proceedings in committee. This is the most basic, fundamental research that is required by the committee. We recommend each delegate to be aware of their country's foreign policy to the tee and are advised to be well versed with the agenda. In this committee, more than your previous MUNing experience or knowledge regarding international relations, your creativity and ability to think in a crisis will be tested. To survive in committee with such heated debate, you shall need to know how to react and defend your ‘allies’ when problems are thrown in your direction and be ready to leave their side when the time is right.
The Group of 14 is filled with twists and constant crises updates on matters that would not only prove sufficient for debate but also form alliances or give rise to the need to carry out military offensives which can alter the course of the future.
With armies so large and weapons so deadly, it is upon you to decide: Will you fight and
win, or will you stand back and loose?
