Country Rankings

Hello delegates,

Here are a couple more interesting links, mainly with rankings and facts relating to our two issues that may help you with clinching your arguments:
  • Statistics on pornography use.
  • A summary of a conference on laws regarding online child exploitation. The best part of this site are the links to powerpoint presentations (all safe, I checked), that have very detailed information on laws and definitions regarding our child pornography issue, as well as current trends and developments in law in this area.
  • Rankings of malnutrition death rates by country.
  • Hunger Notes, a website with tons of information and news articles on region specific malnutrition problems.
By now you should have all the information you need about your country's position (and if you've submitted your position papers, you will have finished this at least a week ago). The best way to prepare now is to keep track of latest developments, and start thinking about how your country would like to resolve this issue - what would you your country like to see on a resolution, what would it agree to? Remember, time freezes when the conference begins, so any news until Thursday evening is fair game, after that, no world developments in either hunger or child exploitation are relevant for the conference. Have fun!
