Introduction \ Scouting is a Global Movement that started in Britain in the year 1907 by Sir Robert Stephen Smith Baden Powell. He believed that the youth may be provided scout training that is essential to promote national building and social activities and make them able to work in any situation i.e. floods, earthquakes, storms, epidemic and rescue the human being in disaster and provide them help as much as they can. The scouting in Balochistan has its roots since 1920 when land was acquired for the purpose of scout training headquarters. The permanent Scout Unit of Islamia High School on his arrival at Quetta in 1943 presented the Guard of honor to Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The Governor General Balochistan Sir Obroy Metcof inaugurated the Boy Scout Headquarter Balochistan in October 1943. Along with different scouting activities BBSA is also specialized in education, health and hygiene, capacity and community building, disaster management and sanitation related activities and projects. Taking the concept of social cohesion to the next stage this event was especially organized to bring students of different institutes and of different social background under one shelter and provide them with platform to participate in an event which will help with their educational simulation and academic competition, also to learn about diplomacy, International relations, functionality and the role of United Nations. It also involves and teaches research, public speaking, debating, writing skills including critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership abilities. Participants in Model UN conference were referred as delegates and placed in different committees and were assigned with different countries. They were presented with their assignments and research material in advance, along with their topic to discuss. Delegates were advised to research on their own in order to debate with their fellow delegates within their designated committees. At the end of a conference, the best-performing delegates in each committee were recognized for their efforts. MUN participants were from different schools, college and universities. Delegates were approached through their respective schools, colleges and universities to participate in this event, but their participation was on individual basis. United Nation was established October 24, 1945 for the following four main purposes: To maintain international peace and security To develop friendly relations among nations To cooperate in solving international problems and in promoting respect for human rights To be a center for harmonizing the action of nations 4 2. Background of Model UN As the name suggests Model UN is a simulation of the proceedings of the United Nations and other international organizations. Delegates are assigned to a specific United Nations committee or crisis simulation in which they take on the role of a government diplomat representing a state, an international organization, or a specific political or historical character. Through active research, debate, and other cooperation, delegates work closely to help in solving some of the world’s most dire problems over the course of this three day conference. The MUN simulation framework is highly flexible and can be delivered in a variety of contexts and learning levels. Around the world, MUN simulations can be found in high school and university curriculums for either short durations, semester or year long, with conferences often bringing together participants from across nations, regions or the world. There is a wealth of teaching and learning resources to support MUN programs through websites and other publications. Also these sort of events are important for education to prepare students for the complexities of the international community. Allowing platform for the students to think critically, approach problems creatively, work across cultures, interact with opposing points of view, and collaborate to achieve a common goal. Due to these reasons Boy Scout Association (BBSA) aims at providing a platform to the students/youth to indulge in academic research and use their knowledge to debate about the most pressing issues of this world through MUN-QTA for the enhancement of leadership and communication skills for youth. Moreover, MUNQTA is not just about academics; it constitutes a wide array of social activities which keeps the participants fully engaged in the event. 3.

The Committee also addresses important social development questions such as issues related to youth, ageing, disabled persons, family, crime prevention, criminal justice, and drug control4. Committee: SOCHUM Topic: “RIGHTS OF PRIVACY IN DIGITAL AGE” Sponsors: IRAN Signatories: BANGALDESH, NORTH KOREA, INDIA, FRANCE, LABNON. Paragraph 2 of article 17 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights explicitly states that everyone has the right to the protection of the law against unlawful or arbitrary interference with their privacy. This implies that any communications surveillance Programme must be conducted on the basis of a publicly accessible law, which in turn must comply with the State’s own constitutional regime and international human rights law. United Nations General Assembly resolution 68/167, which expresses deep concern at the negative impact that surveillance and interception of communications may have on human rights. The General Assembly affirmed that the rights held by people offline must also be protected online, and it called upon all States to respect and protect the right to privacy in digital communication. The General Assembly called on all States to review their procedures, practices and legislation related to communications surveillance, interception and collection of personal data and emphasized the need for States to ensure the full and effective implementation of their obligations under international human rights law. 1.1 Defining rights of privacy: The right to privacy is a human right and an element of various legal traditions which may restrain both government and private party action that threatens the privacy of individuals. In addition to that State holds a prime authority in order to layout strong “firewall” and “cyber polices” to tackle the issues of foreign interception and surveillances of its own people that are to be rooted in human rights norms with transparency. Aware of that technology is very useful and helpful and expands the world around us but is damaging in ways. The digital age is launching an assault on privacy as we've known it. 12 Reaffirms: Having various schools of thoughts among the different state, here the state holds a prime authority in order to have surveillance of its own people which are to be rooted in the human right norms. 1.2 AWARENESS TO RIGHT OF PRIVACY IN DIGITAL ERA: It’s the first and foremost responsibility of executive of the state to provide awareness regarding the aforementioned topics from deep interior to the most urbanized unit of the country. Having examined that the governments have not made any masseurs in order to spread the run the wave of awareness among their nation. Proposes other states in running awareness programs: a. b. c. There must be a lesson on school levels regarding to the digital era and its role. Various campaigns should be arranged: i.e.: in rural and urbanized level and funded by the government. UN should setup NGOs for spreading awareness i.e., to be funded by UN. 1.3 MASS SURVILLANCE: Mass surveillance is the distributive close observation of an entire population, or a substantial fraction of the entire population. Declaring that nowadays governments perform mass surveillance of their citizens so as to protect citizens from dangerous groups such as terrorists, criminals, or political subversives and to maintain social control. Observing that the mass surveillance is basically conducted in two ways: a. b. Interstate surveillance i.e., conducted by the specified body of state and is legal in order to secure the national interest but if transparent. Extraterritorial surveillance, which can clearly be named “Foreign Insurgency”. Proposes UN to design a legal frame of order to counter foreign insurgency: a. A “Cyber cell” in UN having a delegate from each member of the General Assembly, has to be organized in order to have check and balance over it. (I) (II) b. c. d. e. This cell should be funded by UN. This cell should be independent in its action. Only the state should be given the right to layout the surveillance of its nation. No other state should be allowed to conduct mass surveillance of any state. (As NSA do) States should review their communications and data legislation on a regular basis to ensure that it keeps pace with technological advancements. A further suggestion was that states should adopt export control legislation to ensure that companies cannot export surveillance technology to countries in which they will be used for human rights violations. Recommends that each state territory should be respected and only the state should have the sole authority to have transparent mass surveillance based on basic norms of human rights. Accepts that each nation will have its own views and opinions on this matter and they should all be call upon the stage for friendly amendments. 1.4 ROLE OF TELECOMUNICATION AUTHORITIES: Government agency responsible for the establishment, operation, interstate surveillance and maintenance of telecommunications. Alarmed that lack of enforcements of rules and conditions applied by these authorities do not have strong hold. Proposes that the state should review their law and policies regarding telecommunication: a. b. c. On the basis of Morality. A separate cell or governing independent body should be give the rights of making amendments in its policies in regards to secure the national interests. State should double its budget on ICT (Information, Communication and Technology). (I) (II) To detain the evils of corruption. To be in the race with vastly growing digital era. Further recommends that every state needs legislation within its telecommunication authorities on the basis of its national views and opinions. 1.5 ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND MEDIA: 13 The main means of mass communication (television, radio, and newspapers) regarded collectively called MEDIA. Media plays vital role in society and making people aware of their rights, but some limitation are to be implements to safe guard the rights of individual; proposing that: a. b. c. A Government based independent body to have check and balance over media i.e., to stop it from spreading antistate propagandas. News which may harm the national interests are to be forwarded to above stated governing body for further legal actions. The media shouldn’t be given the right to share or scandalize any individual even if he is from lower class. Whereas websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking is called SOCIAL MEDIA. Recommends to impose some limitations in order to get rid of “leaderless civil revolts” (revolt of MODALVA): a. A firewall is to be taken in order to filter a single alphabetic content send or received. (Like of China GREAT FIREWALL). b. c. d. e. Only the State should be given authority to have check on their nationally used social sites. (IRGC in Iran). Laws in accordance to the state ideologies are to be imposed (like ISLAMIC PENAL CODE in Iran). No state should be given authority in regards to spread Blasphemy and other religious issues. State should hold a fund to support it autonomous body made for having check on social sites 1.6 MONITORING AND TRANSPERENCY: Monitoring is the regular observation and recording of activities taking place in a project or Programme is known as MONITORING. Essential condition for a free and open exchange whereby the rules and reasons behind regulatory measure are fair and clear to all participants is stated as TRANSPERENCY. Proposes all governments in order to hold their policies clear: a. If government is having surveillance on its nation it should clarify and officially announce it. (As Iran did on inaugurating IRGC). b. Government should provide every individual the right of challenging the surveillance if his data is used on personal basis. c. No state bears the interception of other state in it, so if any country breaches the others privacy they should be forwarded to face several sanctions. d. Monitoring forwards the new generation towards Morality, which indeed become the backbone for the state. v. UNCCPCJ (United Nations Commission of Crime Prevention and criminal Justice) The Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (CCPCJ) was established by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) upon request of General Assembly (GA), as one of its functional commissions. The Commission acts as the principal policymaking body of the United Nations in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice. ECOSOC provided for the CCPCJ's 14 mandates and priorities, which include improving international action to combat national and transnational crime and the efficiency and fairness of criminal justice administration systems. The CCPCJ also offers Member States a forum for exchanging expertise, experience and information in order to develop national and international strategies, and to identify priorities for combating crime5. The original and final resolution presented during the last session for UNCCPCJ was: COMMITTEE: UNCCPCJ TOPIC: SHOULD CAPITAL PUNISHMENT BE PRACTICED AS A FORM OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM? SPONSORS: RUSSIA, USA SIGNATORIES: AUSTRALIA, BANGLADESH, CANADA, CHINA, EGYPT, INDONESIA, IRAN, ITALY, JAPAN, LEBANON, NORTH KOREA, PAKISTAN, SAUDI ARABIA, SOMALIA, SWEDEN, SWITZERLAND, TURKEY, UAE, YEMEN. Guided by UNGA adopted a resolution 62/149 in 2007 which calls for a temporary suspension on the use of capital punishment, Bearing in mind ICCP article 6," In countries which have not abolished the death penalty, sentence of death may be imposed only for the most serious crimes in accordance with the law in force at the time of the commission of the crime and not contrary to the provisions of the present Covenant and to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide," Encourages members of United Nations to collaborate with each other and adapt a feasible solution in this regard, 1. Recommends the convicts should be given the right of due process of law according to Universal declaration of human rights UDHR. A convict should be allowed to make at least 3 appeals in any court of justice against the verdict of death penalty; 2. Considers the offense of death penalty should be limited to murder only. This would minimize capital punishment and also it can be practiced as mentioned in ICCPR Article 6 accordingly. Furthermore, single murder and juvenile cases would not be given death penalty. Age limit of a juvenile is defined as 'less than 18 years'; 3. Calls upon a single standard method of execution needs to be followed. Chemical injection is preferred. Including the use of systematic methods like weight/height measurements and Rope material. To make the execution accurate and flawless. And convict would be given a period of 2 days before the punishment; 4. Further invites any country willing to exercise capital punishment according to their religious beliefs should be allowed to do but only for homicide. The convict of treason should be sent to exile and cancelation nationality; 5. Emphasizes the convicts of smuggling and human trafficking should be returned to their own countries and treated as per their home country's law. Whereas, point 6 provides exception in this regard; 6. Calls exceptions for punishment and method of punishment for countries who wish to practice it according to their public opinion. A parliamentary resolution must to be passed by the particular country; 7. Further reminds, A UN body should be formulated in every country which acts as a third party to examine the executions besides judiciary and law enforcement investigation. The body should consist of a panel of law experts and seniors judges of International Court of Justice ICJ to look upon the cases and check any errors made due to shabby criminal justice system of that particular country. This would lessen the misuse of death penalty and innocent executions. 15 5. Social Events (Concert and Global Carnival) Following the committee sessions and drafting of final resolutions different social events were also organized for the participants of Model UN. A musical concert was arranged on the evening of the second day of the conference. All the delegates, management team and respectable guests of the ceremony would be entertained.
