When the proceedings came to order at the eleventh annual Concordia International School of Shanghai Model United Nations conference (CISSMUN), the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (CCPCJ) got right to work on the questions of trafficking in human organs, gender-related killings of women and girls, maritime piracy, and the Nelson Mandela Rules.
When asked about the success of the simulation, Alice Du, Annie Xie, and Apple Chang, Chairs of the CCPCJ Commission, commented, “Over the course of three days conference we’ve seen some amazing out-of-the-box ideas come out of the CCPCJ. Delegates addressed the issue of organ trafficking through the economic laws of supply-and-demand, the issue of femicide through regulating civilians’ ability to self-weaponise, and the issue of countering maritime piracy by providing shipping companies traveling through at-risk areas with Interpol security.”
Our delegates have developed a better understanding of crime prevention from a realistic perspective–– especially that people perceive and experience crime differently because of their cultural differences. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity that CISSMUN has given us to participate in the CCPCJ and we hope that our delegates continue to craft solutions to the problems our society currently face with the skills they’ve sharpened in this committee.”
