| The Opening
Speeches in the General Assembly were broadcast via live web feed each
day of the opening session, and these are typically available for
download throughout the year. General Debate began 23 September and
continues through 30 September. >> see speeches The UN also has a variety of other webcasts and UNTV broadcasts happening each week, including many of the open meetings of the GA, Security Council and various other UN bodies. Since most Model UN participants never get a chance to see what they are simulating live, webcasts can be an excellent alternative to give your students a "feel" for what happens at the UN. >> see all webcasts Many, many of the documents that participants will want to utilize in their research are available or linked on the web page of the 64th General Assembly, in particular, we recommend that students review the resolutions and "Verbatim Records" of appropriate GA meetings to view the actual speeches given in the General Assembly. These are typically listed on the "Resolution" page for that year; for instance, find here the records for the 60th General Assembly. Links are also available to previous years. Comparable Verbatim Records for the Security Council, along with other details of Council action, can be found at http://www.un.org/Depts/dhl/resguide/scact2007.htm. |
