SH got down to business on Day 2 of LIMUN XXVII,
continuing discussion on Indian slums. Though Chair Ann Lowery was
forced to regain decorum multiple times, countries rushed to gain
signatories for their working papers. SC barged into SH for a “personal
crisis,” and the Chinese delegate from SC got down on one knee and
proposed to Chair Ann Lowery with a brownie. “Are you handing me paper
towels?” was her first response. Met with rejection, China received a
hug and a “Sorry, runt, I don’t go for short guys,” as he towered three
inches over her. As SC left, debate continued. Two resolutions were
passed: Devil’s Advocate from Russia, DPRK, China, and Cuba, to meet
immediate needs, and Working Paper 1.2 from US, UK, Germany, and others
reached long-term solutions.
The next topic, LGBT rights in
Africa, started as Seychelles declared war on Sudan for “hating gays.”
Sudan replied, “You and your army of 5 people ain’t gon’ do nothing!”
Immediately those protecting national sovereignty fought those insisting
on human rights. With a standstill between anti- and pro-gay rights
countries and imminent war, peace seemed distant.
