2. Immigration Crisis in the Middle East
Letter from the Chair
Dear Delegates,
I am extremely pleased to welcome each and every one of you to the Group of 20 Committee in International Youth Conference 2017. I am honoured to be your Chair, and thus make a promise to all of you, the experience is going to be like none you’ve ever faced before, it will be an exciting and electrifying experience, and that I can promise. Each one in this committee was chosen because they earned their spot in the ring, now you have a battle field laid ahead of you, don’t disappoint. Go ahead and light up the committee, perform and put out a show.
Delegates we now face two grave problems in our current lives, one affecting our country directly, and the other affecting our global community. Our first agenda is the Immigration crises in the Middle East. Immigrants from Middle East now seek asylum and refugee in western countries and their neighbouring countries because of the war going on in their homes, do we decide to show human compassion or is their threat too much for us to handle. The second agenda is Tax Evasion, Billions of Dollars each year are lost from our economies, going into shell companies and off shore banks. But now this black money has become the fragile base of the economies of Tax Havens. Delegates you need to show your expertise and find a way out of this picky situation.
You now act as the sole representative of your country in the face of the G20, Delegates we control the Money and Power of our countries, there is nothing else we need, without our committee there would be no future. Our role as a committee is thus quintessential to the running of our world as a whole. Take a stand, and make a future you’d want to live in.
Delegates we urge you to extend your research further than the study guide.
Delegates, with a highly experienced executive board, you are sure to witness high quality debate in committee. So make sure your research is unbeatable and be effective when you convey your opinion to the committee.
Welcome to the Group of Twenty,
All the best.
