Model+UN



The logo represents unity amongst the countries apart of the United Nations. This shows how the countries involved come together as one to solve problems of the world without violence. Avoiding wars would be beneficial for all countries because there would be no post-war crisis within the countries that would affect any other countries economically. The target placed on the countries represents the goal that every country wants to achieve which is peace and harmony. Olive branches wrapped around the target and countries stands for the peace. Also, the color used for the flag is a calming blue, which adds to the peaceful vibe that the designers of this flag were trying to give off.

The United Nations was founded in 1945 after War World II; replacing the League of Nations. Officially established on October 24, 1945, a couple years after nations had representatives sign the Declaration of United Nations on January 1, 1942. They declared that they would continue to oppose the Axis Powers. It was created to keep peace between countries, advocate anti-war actions to prevent conflicts that may lead to another war, give human rights to everyone in the world, and eventually become economically stable. The United Nations hoped to avoid the problems encountered by the League of Nations by keeping everything equal with every country. Fairness would be a factor of success in the United Nations. They became more aware of problems/situations of the world and hoped to fix those issues together. //Trustee Council//: Controls territories under UN supervision. //General Assembly//: Debates issues and recommends actions. //Security Council//: Authorizes economic and military actions in settling disputes. //International Court of Justice//: Decides questions of international law. //Economic & Social Councils//: Sponsors trade and human rights organizations. //Secretariat//: Administrator of UN coordinates work in UN agencies.

__**Gender Equality in the Middle East**__: - Most middle Eastern countries follow the Islamic religion, laying the foundation for female obedience and submission to men. - Middle Eastern countries such as Bahrain, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq are now engaged in political protests know as collective as the Arab Spring. - Middle Eastern women continue to not have humans rights that are necessities for all human beings. - Ongoing conflict in these areas resulted in more rapes, kidnappings, and honor killings. This is a setback for women trying to win their rights. They stay home to keep away from the fighting. - Opportunities for employment, education and adequate healthcare are hindered.

- Laws of Islam: Seclusion of women is necessary to avoid the attention from men who are outside her family. - Place blame on how women could have/should prevent such improper conduct. - Social beliefs translate into present-day social and cultural regulations that characterize many Middle Eastern country. - Women could be threatened, beaten and unfairly treated if they do not follow the garment rules. - Difficult to change political and cultural beliefs in some countries because the right to organize is banned.
 * Background of the Issue - Social & Cultural regulations**:

- Women cannot hold political positions or thus positions of power because they are unable to have such authority over men. Women and activists were angered by this restriction. - The modern narrative of Islam, however, supports the ability of women to hold positions of power despite their gender. - Some women in certain countries are still not allowed the right to vote.
 * Political Restrictions**:

- Physical and sexual abuse is common in the Middle East marriages because men are not held responsible for these actions because their wives, in retrospect, are seen as their property with which they can do what they want. - Women are more susceptible to violence because there is a major lack of laws protecting women from it in many countries.
 * Questionable Access to Justice**:

- The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 10, 1948. It serves a basic roadmap for guaranteeing of rights to every individual in the world.
 * Past International Actions**:
