DAY 1: ECOSOC

On the first day of the ECOSOC conference, delegates spent most of their time setting the agenda and appealing country stances. There were several unmoderated caucuses for the purpose of fostering the debate and writing resolutions. Delegates were full of tension, and at times endured awkward moments as some had participated in the workshop while others had not. The chairs were notified that delegates were planning to submit 3 resolutions pertinent to the first agenda; transferring agricultural technology to the Less Economically Developed Countries (LEDCs). Members of the ECOSOC conference room decided to use the term LEDC instead of Third World Nations due to a motion to modify the term “third world nations” to “Less Economically Developed Countries.” 

And the following is a direct note from the ECOSOC Committee Secretary, Yoo-Jun Chun.

“Delegates, I know that this is the first MUN experience for many of you guys. Even though you did not participate fervently in the debate one the first day of conference, please do not lose your passion and energy and show us your true potentials tomorrow. Also, I love you guys when you smile~ J”
