Each committee had one of the members present their proposals as ‘Draft Resolution’ which was debated by the nations, all of whom either took a ‘for’ or ‘against’ stand regarding the resolutions presented.



According to the school management, hosting the mock UN sessions was a way of helping the students to conceptualize the procedures and provision that the General Assembly of the United Nations takes into action. It is one of the ‘Learning by Doing’ activities
