OAS

Corruption plays a large part (unfortunately) in many of the governments of the Organization of American States. The Mechanism for Follow-up on the Inter-American Convention against Corruption (MESICIC) has led to the adoption of 28 country reports by member states of the OAS. These corruption reports can be very useful for position paper writing and research in general and if read may help you get a better grasp on the workings of your country’s government.

To view MESICIC’s site you can go to the following link:

Hi delegates!
This is Lauren and I am a first-year intended Business or Economics major at UC Berkeley. I am originally from Elk Grove, which is about twenty minutes outside of Sacramento. I have lived in California for most of my life with the unfortunate exception of three years in New Mexico. I am definitely a California girl!
I did not do MUN in high school, but I did other activities like student government, Interact Club, and musical theatre. Even though I am not doing musical theatre now, I still love show tunes and actually, all types of music. You’ll probably find me at the conference humming along to songs from “Grease” to “Hello Dolly” to Ella Fitzgerald to Elvis Presley to Katy Perry (her song is my ringtone).
I am looking forward to meeting all of you delegates at the 57th Conference! If you have any questions, feel free to comment on the blog and Dana, Taylor, or I will get back to you. I’ll see you in the spring!
