All Eyes On Us

In the general assembly (GA), the delegates were discussing their resolutions and trying to convince each other so they can be their co-submitters. They were given two topics: the first topic is the right to privacy in the digital age and the second topic is humanitarian aid disaster and relief assistance.

In brief, the fist one talks about interfering in others’ personal life and privacy, for example the ones who invade others’ online privacy.

Seeing that topic is mostly about privacy, you would definitely find those who don’t respect that policy: the hackers. They sometimes steal people’s identities online either buys illegal goods or lead people to bankruptcy. As a consequence of an event of the sort, hackers blame their crime on the credit card owners, those whose identities were stolen.

The second topic is about humanitarian aid disaster and relief assistance. Humanitarian aid is basically when a country helps another with food and water because of the poverty that latter suffers from. As the USA submitted a resolution, UK, Ukraine, Morocco, Germany, Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Somalia and South Africa were all co-submitters.

Obviously, privacy (online and offline) is really important to every single one of us, so we should respect that before anything, As for the second topic, it had us all thinking about what we could do to help a country or a person in need.
