As part of Amicus’s commitment to education, Martin Polaine spoke at Westminster School’s Model United Nations (WesMUN) Conference 2016 on Saturday. The WesMUN theme for 2016 is: ‘No Target Met until Fully Met for All’: Inclusivity and Sustainability in Global Government after the SDGs.’
The Conference was held between the 12 - 15th February, 2016 for young delegates with a ‘keen interest in current affairs… .’ and a desire to speak and act on key thematic issues identified by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were adopted in 2015.
Martin addressed the delegates on:
- Tackling corruption and strengthening legal frameworks in developing countries;
- The situation in Yemen
The Sustainable Development Goals (‘SDGs’ or ‘Global Goals’), released in September 2015, were the central theme of the conference. The SDGs, build upon the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and mark a new phase in the aims of the UN towards a more inclusive and sustainable world.
