Reflection
This year in model UN I have learned to talk in front of people. In the beginning it was kind of hard for me but I got over it. I have to admit at first I hated this class with a passion, but then I started to participate more and gain more knowledge of stuff that was going on. This really opened my eyes and made me realize that I have the capability of doing well in front of people and being able to think up stuff that will help out in real life. So now I’m witty and able to talk in front of a crowd and think up solutions in problems. So pretty much this class has already been applied in my life since the beginning of the school year, because it has gotten me to think outside the box. Now I can’t wait to see what’s up for next year and the new challenges I have to face.

MUN FINAL
Committee: HRC
Country: Israel
Topic: Prevention of torture
Name: Yanin Marquez
Honorable Chair,
Today we are discussing the prevention of torture. First of all what is torture. Torture is the act of inflicting excruciating pain, as a punishment or revenge, as mean s of getting a confession or information. Some do it for sheer cruelty. Torture is done every day in every town, country, and nation just all over the4 world. How is this beneficial? Surely this question should be asked every day. In medieval times, torture was a very common way to punish offenders. Even since that time period, there have been more inhuman and cruel ways to punish a person. Torture is supposedly used to get a confession out, but what do you get out of it when thousands die in unimaginably painful way. What do you get from there? In the army they instruct and teach soldiers not to spill a word no matter what pain is inflicted. Not only do they suffer, civilians get involved in this, what practice do they get?
Israeli people have been through torture, those who practiced the Jewish religion had emigrated from Israel to be safe and keep away from possible concentration camps. However, Israel has caused torture. During the period 1988-1992, when Palestinian youths were mounting a sustained street revolt known as the Intifada, Shin Bet ignored government interrogation guidelines allowing “moderate physical pressure” and went much farther, with the worst abuses committed in prisons along the Gaza strip. No democracy is stalked by terrorism as Israel. Because of that threat, Israeli law allows its security service to use what it calls “a moderate measure of physical pressure” when interrogating Palestinians. These measures, which include violent shaking and hanging shacklers’ prisoners in painful positions, clearly come under the definition of torture in the international conventions that Israel has signed. Israel’s General Service, the Shin Bet, has longed used violence during interrogations, though the practice has been legal only since 1987. According to Israeli human rights organizations, in recent years about 5,000 Palestinians have been subjected to violence in detention annually. The Israeli government maintains that its methods do not amount to torture. Shin Bet officials say the use of physical pressure has helped prevent some terrorist attacks.
Israel is joined the use of torture by most of the world’s nations. As a democracy and a nation of principles, Israel must follow a different code of conduct. The character of Israel is being harmed by the fact of how it inflicts pain and pressure on its enemies. Thus is why, the delegate of Israel would like to suggest the idea of enlisting new regarding torture, and the idea of actually following the declaration of human rights. Article 5 clearly states, no one shall be subjected to cruel inhuman punishments. The new laws will enforce this article, and bring justice to those who had to go through it. Not only will this help Israel, it will help other countries as well. This could begin by stopping “mild” pressure and curing the wounded and helping them get through the emotional and physical pain they were caused.
