Model UN Delegation Visits United Nations
Thirteen intrepid Model UNers from Westminster ventured to New York City Oct. 27 to visit the Mexican Mission to the United Nations. The trip was organized by the World Affairs Council, which hosts a Model UN conference at the University of Hartford in December. For the first time, Westminster is participating in this conference, and part of the package is for students to meet with UN diplomats from the country that they are representing.
Despite the early start, late return and nasty weather, the students had a fantastic experience. After checking out some of New York City’s famous sights, the group headed to the 2nd Avenue Deli for an authentic New York eating experience. The delegation then stopped off at the United Nations before heading to the Mexican Mission where they met with Fernando de la Mora, a member of the Mexican foreign service and expert on human rights.
For 30 minutes de la Mora briefed the students on Mexico’s goals and priorities at the U.N. Then he proceeded to answer questions from the Westminster delegates. Topics discussed included migration, the rights of women, climate change, the drug trade and challenges facing Mexico.
