Invitation to Conference 2015

Dear Member State Representatives and Conference Stakeholders,

Pune Model United Nations will convene its Conference 2015 through 16-18

January 2015. Venue will be notified in November 2014.

I am pleased to announce the priority theme for the Pune Model United Nations

Conference 2015 as Post-2015 Development Agenda: Realizing the Future We

Want for All. The conference will be guided by the efforts and work of the United

Nations General Assembly and other specialized agencies of the UN in

developing an inclusive and affirmative post-2015 agenda for holistic

development.

Conference 2015 will simulate fourteen (14) bodies of the UN which are

forerunners in the impact oriented designing of the development agenda. Our

programme of work is thus established around the focal issues that require

attention to this regard, which are:

- international security and sovereignty;

- peace during outbreak of Ebola;

- human rights and dignity of persons;

- affirmative action and rights of persons with disabilities;

- health and reproductive rights;

- poverty eradication;

- sustainable development;

- climate change;

- wildlife protection;

- usage of outer space;

- nuclear disarmament;

- criminal accountability of diplomats.

The bodies and their provisional agenda are attached as annexures to this

invitation. The bodies are divided in two brackets: Fundamental for students of

Grade VII to Grade XI, and Progressive for students of Grade XII to the ones

enrolled in University.

Conference 2015 will also witness a reformed secretarial structure of the

organization wherein the reins of responsibility will be transitioned to the

Executive Office and Senior Management Team of the Secretary-General.

Simulation of the conference will be enforced at the organizational, structural and

functional levels. Pune Model UNs News Agency will take over the official

reporting of the Conference.

I find it important to highlight that Pune Model United Nations is an inclusive

organization strongly averse to discrimination, misconduct and malpractices. As

a representative at the conference, participating members shall be bound by the

codes of conduct, policies and regulations of the organization which are in the

process of formulation to ensure a fine conference experience.

With hope that you would enhance the quality of with your substantive

participation, in exercise of powers vested in me by the Charter of the United

Nations applicable mutatis mutandis for the Pune Model United Nations, I invite

you to be a part of the Conference 2015.

Dedicated to your service, I remain

Most earnestly yours,
