The Group of Eight
"Where the only remnants of freedom rise from the ashes of history"
Agenda: Korean Peninsula War
Letter from the Chair
Dear Delegates,
It is my pleasure to welcome you all to the Group of Eight at the International
Youth Conference 2017. You are all amongst a handpicked selection of
exceptional debaters and delegates, so gear up for an intense journey through
this committee.
This agenda was meticulously chosen so that we’re able to provide you with
crises you would never even dream of. Due to the historic nature of this year’s
G8 committee, we’ve made this study guide to give you a basic idea of the war
and the direction you need to work in. It also contains the committee mandate, as
well as our rules of procedure, which is different from other committees.
An agreement is expected to be reached at the end of this conference, as we strive
to search for utopia in the realm of reality. We aim to chisel each and every one
of you into critical thinkers and more insightful individuals, as you are
inescapably the future of this world. So, pick up your guides, start your research
and sharpen your wits, because this committee and my proficient executive board
will keep you enthralled and on your toes throughout this debate.
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. I present to you, the executive
board of G8.
Welcome to the Group of Eight
We are ready. Are you?
Executive Board
Dev Jhaveri
Chair
Smart, sly and sophisticated, Dev Jhaveri is the most demanding, yet simultaneously, the most entertaining member at IYC. Being the internationally awarded MUNner that he is, the Chair of the Group of 8 sure knows how to run the show like he owns it. However, if you push him to the edge, beware because he is the one who can make you fall off too.
Rashi Watwani
Vice-Chair
An established MUNner and a confident speaker, Rashi Watwani is the right person to guide the committee towards engaging and stimulating debate. As the Vice Chair of the Group of 8, count on Rashi to keep you thinking on your feet and drive you to make decisions you've never thought of. A perfectionist, over-achiever and certified extrovert, expect nothing less but elegance and charisma to radiate.
Parth Bhatia
Moderator
Parth Bhatia, your Moderator for the Group of 8, is one of the most genuine people you will ever come across. Kind-hearted and humorous, Parth sure knows how to make a soft spot for himself. However, don’t let his all-good nature blind you from the truth; he can be vicious and ruthless when in committee, and your absolute enemy shall you try to cross his way.
Paroma Mehta
R&D
An ambitious vegan feminist, Paroma Mehta is a firm believer in the fight for social justice. A human rights lawyer in the making, your Head of Research and Development for Group of 8 enjoys discourse on just about anything. She is a curious student with a penchant for literature and history, with organizational skills that will put an archivist to shame.
Janhavi Minocha
Rapporteur
Hardworking and vivacious, Janhavi Minocha favours biochemistry and has an unhealthy obsession with Suits. Her interests don’t stop there; with overflowing energy, Janhavi has a flair for athletics of all sorts. Her bubbly nature can brighten even the darkest of rooms and she never fails to turn a monotonous situation into a vibrant one. With Janhavi as the Rapporteur for the Group of 8, there will not be a dull moment in committee.
