OFSMUN Mock Debate Session

So for this week's blog post, it would be on my Draft Position Paper and Speech that I have completed for this coming week's Mock Debate Session for OFSMUN. Well, I would be the delegate of Mexico and this week's topic would be: Measures to protect the cultural identity of indigenous peoples.

So you may be asking what is a position paper? How do you do it? Well, a position paper is quite easy to do and it is well, just your stance on the issue at hand. It is that simple. A position paper is

I have already finished my position paper and speech and here it is for everyone to view:

My Speech:

Thank you Honourable Chair. This delegate of Mexico is extremely for and supportive of the continuous measures in protecting the cultural identity of indigenous peoples found all over the world. We believe that as a country we must protect all of our people, both indigenous and white, both women and men, both children and adults, even if they are still permanent residents. Most importantly, it is these indigenous people that need our help, our continuous support, and our forever loving care for them. We must continue to add measures that will benefit both us and them, economically, socially and in terms of their cultural identity. We must protect their language, their culture and everything that is theirs must be preserved. It is them that allow us to be in this society, in this world where they belong to much earlier than us. We can’t just forsake their culture and forget their people. We must protect their cultural identity and the delegate of Mexico supports this whole-heartedly. This delegate of Mexico shall now yield the time back to the Chair.

As for my Position Paper, it is here:


Forum: Mock Debate Session
Committee: Human Rights Council
Delegation: Mexico

Position Paper :

Being at the forefront of the understanding of the culture of Indigenous people, Mexico has always felt deeply about the preservation of the culture, language and traditions of the indigenous people. Amongst the stated objectives against ruining the cultures of the aboriginals, the rights of theirs to speak the language they like, the right to live the way they like, and the right for them not to be influenced by Mexicans. Furthermore, the aboriginals are the first to live in this world. It is them who allow us to live in this world with them, it is them who allowed us to build homes.

Despite other countries such as United States Of America not signing the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Mexico still believes that she is in a position to combat the problem of indigenous people not being able to fulfil their rights to live the way they like, having the right of indigenous families and communities to retain shared responsibility for the upbringing, training, education and well-being of their children, consistent with the rights of the child. Mexico is still believing in their rights, giving them equal treatment, giving others a good role model to learn from.


Keeping in mind that the culture and language of the aborigines are worthy to be preserved and left behind for the people, a victory on this front would be a massive step to preventing the traditions going extinct, or even falling into the clutches of evil. Mexico believes that following debates to better the preservation of the traditions would go on smoothly and that the session would be fruitful and productive.

As for this position paper, it is a must for all delegates of the MUN Conference to have one, This would elaborate on our stance and show the judges our views on this topic. This would better facilitate us in our speech as weel as in our research. This would also give us, as delegates, a chance to better show our position to all those around us, and to garner allies of the same views.

So this is a video on a MUN Conference:



Thank You.
