The delegates have now all reconvened into the general assembly. Amendments will now be read out by each of the committees. #hubumun

[bmunsbarry @bmunsbarry1]

Working papers have been drafted by the committees and the #hubumun assembly has now returned back into their regional groups to discuss the amendment process.

[bmunsbarry @bmunsbarry1]

Time's ticking! The wombat is waiting ... delegates are needed back in the main #hubumun assembly. A completed resolution is needed by 3pm.

[bmunsbarry @bmunsbarry1]

Delegates are back from their regional groups and are now set to break away into their respected committees. #hubumun

[bmunsbarry @bmunsbarry1]

And the Chair is already off for a drink at #hubumun! It seems like its all play, and no work.

[bmunsbarry @bmunsbarry1]

The Chair has passed Vietnam's motion to extend regional discussions for another 20 minutes. #hubumun

[bmunsbarry @bmunsbarry1]

The delegate for Vietnam asks for more time on behalf of the Asian region ... 25 minutes for 'the purpose of collaboration and understanding'. Delegate for Iraq opposes the time length, proposes 10 minutes instead. #hubumun

[bmunsbarry @bmunsbarry1]

The #hubumun committee has now broken up into regional groups ... set to reunite soon. Hopefully, positions have been formed.

[bmunsbarry @bmunsbarry1]

Bit of conflict to report over the working lunch between the delegates for Ireland and Laos ... a sign of things to come? #hubumun

[bmunsbarry @bmunsbarry1]

About to start this afternoon's #hubumun proceedings!

[Haiti @grace_scanlon99]

Lao's Peoples Democratic Republic is not wanting to accept the mistakes of its past - ACCOUNTABILITY is key #hubumun

[bmunsbarry @bmunsbarry1]

Sources reveal the Chair believes all delegates will come to a resolution by 3pm despite the conflict evident within the opening statements. #hubumun

[bmunsbarry @bmunsbarry1]

Opening statements over. The Chair motions for a working lunch .... not much work done here at #hubumun

[bmunsbarry @bmunsbarry1]

There seems to be a mixed response here at #hubumun ... some states are keen to debate and resolve the issue of cultural genocide, but others appear hesitant, citing it as ‘not a significant problem’. Maybe their own violent history is to blame for their resistance?

[bmunsbarry @bmunsbarry1]

Iraq is fully committed to working with the UN in order to prevent and resolve issues of cultural genocide. The delegate for Iraq also stresses the importance of member states to get on board. #hubumun

[bmunsbarry @bmunsbarry1]

Opening statements are now underway here at #hubumun ... Strong words from the delegate for Haiti: “Genocide is genocide. There is no definitive term to hold states accountable.”

[bmunsbarry @bmunsbarry1]

And the #hubumun has officially started! Talks today are set to focus on the topic of cultural genocide ... more details to follow. #bonduni #newcolomboplan

[bmunsbarry @bmunsbarry1]

Today we’re practising our #JEMUN protocol in a simulation on the theme of ‘Cultural Genocide’. Bondies are teaming up with students from Hokuriku University in preparation for Saturday’s conference. #newcolomboplan #BondUni
