TIMUN 2024 English Committee
This year,in the English committee of TIMUN2024, the topic is
“Shattered Peace”
The session began with speeches from the delegates of Russia and Ukraine, each presenting their perspectives on the causes of the conflicts and their respective positions on ceasefire negotiations. Similarly, the Israeli and Palestinian representatives made their opening statements, reinforcing their respective claims to land and security. Little indication of a willingness to compromise was conveyed at the beginning, as the delegate of Israel continues to seek for international support and the delegate of Palestine desperately accused the war crimes the Israeli army has conducted.
The session quickly became polarized, with representatives from NATO countries and the European Union demanding a swift cessation of hostilities in Ukraine and greater international sanctions on Russia. Conversely, Russia's representative reiterated Moscow’s security concerns, framing the war as a response to NATO's eastward expansion.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, the delegates raised a fierce debate on the situations of the Middle-East.
As the debate unfolded, the delegates called for immediate ceasefire agreements and a return to diplomacy. To get more specific solutions, the representatives discussed on a great many of aspects, including territorial and sovereignty issues, financial and military assistance, humanitarian assistance, multilateral dialogue and consultation, post-war reconstruction and economic recovery.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the final agreement was hailed as a fragile but significant step forward. The resolution did not declare an immediate end to the conflicts, but it established a framework for both Russia and Ukraine, as well as Israel and Palestine, to engage in direct talks under the mediation of neutral parties. The agreement emphasized the importance of non-escalation of the tension, the protection of humanitarianism, and the provision of aid to those affected by the ongoing violence. While many delegates acknowledged the challenges ahead, there was a shared understanding that this moment of tentative peace offered a chance for dialogue, something that had been ignored and had not been achieved for long.
