00:00:11.540 - 00:00:28.190

This is the opening of the 5th model United Nations. 10 years ago this year, the United Nations came into being five years ago, the colleges of the West Coast staged what they called a model United Nations. 240 delegates came from various colleges and acted as if

00:00:28.190 - 00:01:05.880

they were the member nations. This year, over 1200 students have come to San Francisco to stage this dramatic production once again This year, 100 West Coast Colleges are present and the host colleges San Francisco State, we're

00:01:05.880 - 00:01:22.480

now in the nerve center of this teeming organization and actually this meeting, a model of the United Nations is an educational convention. The idea is to give the students attending some concept of the workings of the organization to let them know how the work for peace

00:01:22.490 - 00:01:42.940

is carried out actually the meetings of the Security Council, the General Assembly unesco also the International Court of Justice and the Trusteeship Committee. These meetings give a very good picture of just exactly how some 60 nations get together with a meeting of the mind to work

00:01:42.950 - 00:01:58.780

for peace. And that is what these 1200 students attending at San Francisco state are finding about. We're now going to move over before going into the committee's proper to find just exactly how they work and talk to the General director of the conference Director of the

00:01:58.780 - 00:02:14.240

meeting. Mr chan malloy chan, I would like to ask you just exactly what this meeting, this fifth United Nations Assembly here means to you and your school. Well, I think that one of the main things for a small school like san Francisco state College, it means

00:02:14.240 - 00:02:29.680

that we're entering into a new area of educational activity. We're coming up with some of the biggest institutions in America and putting on activities that they have put on in the past. So for us it's a big achievement and I'm sure that your feelings more or

00:02:29.680 - 00:02:42.150

less express the feelings of the member schools attending here today, taking part in the great big meeting that you're having. And I would like to extend to you the very best congratulations for the fine job that you've done in organizing. What must have been a tremendous

00:02:42.150 - 00:02:57.310

effort. Fine, thanks very much. Right now let's move along and get the background of some of the delegates who are attending as representatives of individual nations. The first of the delegates that I would like to have you meet is a young man with the name of

00:02:57.360 - 00:03:12.030

that star from Lewis and Clark College. He's a student there and he's appearing here at the model United Nations as a representative of Japan now chat as we all know, Japan is not represented in the actual United Nations. So could you explain to us just exactly

00:03:12.030 - 00:03:25.840

what your capacity will be here here at the conference that we are attempting to get Japan into the United Nations. In other words, we would like to become a member Nations at the present moment. We are submitting a resolution to that effect that we would like

00:03:25.840 - 00:03:39.250

to be in the United Nations. This of course brings up a rather interesting question that possibly you could answer for us chet since communist china does not have representation in the U. N. Will they have a member here? Yes, they will. They are in the same

00:03:39.250 - 00:03:52.430

capacity that we are as a non member nations. In other words then you're appearing primarily as an observer. Now, you mentioned too that you had a specific problem that was going to be brought up. I wonder if you'd elaborate on that for us. Yes, we are

00:03:52.640 - 00:04:08.350

in an international court case. Australia has brought a case against us for what they call violating the pearl fishing rights. The area and dispute is the area between New guinea and Australia. And they are attempting to say that we have no right in that area. So

00:04:08.350 - 00:04:24.300

we will argue this case before our International Court of Justice here. Now since you have no representation as an actual official member of the U. N, how do you go about this? We are for participants in this international court. We have the right to argue the

00:04:24.300 - 00:04:38.090

case and be heard. We'll chat. Thank you very much. That's quite interesting to find that out. Chad is the representative of Japan, another young man that I'd like to have you meet is mr Phillip bach of Fresno State who is here primarily as the representative of

00:04:38.100 - 00:04:52.460

Indonesia Philip, what's a little bit of the background in originally arriving at the point where by your delegate, delegate to attend these meetings. How does that occur? Well each school does it a little differently. At President State we have the forum club which sponsors U. N.

00:04:52.460 - 00:05:05.520

Activities all the year round. And in the spring we devote our attention to preparing for the model U. N. Then most of this work that you do is extracurricular. Is that right? It's not one of these things that you pick up credit for at school. That's

00:05:05.520 - 00:05:17.700

right. Some schools I understand they have classes for it but at present state I say it's the forum club extracurricular. Well how much time do you spend in preparing for this thing? I noticed you have a briefcase here that appears to be pretty well loaded with

00:05:17.700 - 00:05:31.840

papers and you must do a good deal of research before you come into this meeting. We spent about three months this year preparing and the first month I guess we spent just getting acquainted with the U. N. And its agencies finding out how it operated the

00:05:31.840 - 00:05:45.010

next month. Getting a general background on Indonesia. And then when the formal agenda came through he started working more specifically with the issues. In other words this is no chance thing, it's something that you prepare for even as the actual preparation is put in the paperwork,

00:05:45.020 - 00:05:57.070

the burning of the midnight oil as you might say before the actual definitely Philip. That's quite interesting and thank you very much for telling us about it. We're going to move over behind another group of people to pick up a young man who is from the

00:05:57.070 - 00:06:13.010

university of California. He's a graduating senior from the University of California stan, Lyman stand your representative of what nation? What are you majoring in California? Do you feel that this work that you're doing here in the model un is going to help you in your work?

00:06:13.020 - 00:06:26.380

Very much so because I've been working on sociological aspects of international organization and that's what I plan to do. My master's thesis work on next year. Well in other words then you're going to be able to pick up some work here in more or less of

00:06:26.380 - 00:06:40.650

a an actual laboratory type session that you'd never be able to gain any place else. One more thing that I would like to find out stan that is this, how did you become interested in the beginning in this model? Um Well as far back as 1953

00:06:40.650 - 00:06:54.010

I participated as a delegate from the University of California that year. We were the host school and we were the soviet union which provided quite a challenge for corporation and work and since then I've been an active participant every year this year I'm the chairman of

00:06:54.020 - 00:07:08.410

the university's delegation since you've been with this since almost the inception you might say. Have you noticed that this U. N. Has grown bigger. Has it become a bigger and bigger student production every year? Every year it has and probably this year it's the largest with

00:07:08.420 - 00:07:22.150

the greatest fanfare and production I've seen since since I begin participation stand, I'm going to let you get back to your committee meetings. Thank you very much for giving us a few moments now, if we may, we're going to make a request of mr Tommie Harris

00:07:22.150 - 00:07:33.630

Tommy, I wonder if I could introduce you here for a moment and induce you to send a courier down to the court to the International Court to tell him that we're going to move along there and have someone ready for our cameraman as we move into

00:07:33.630 - 00:07:49.810

that scene. Fine, I'll take care of it right away. Thanks very much Tommy, mm hmm. This is the International Court of Justice. According to the charter of the United Nations. The court shall be composed of a body of independent judges elected regardless of their nationality from

00:07:49.810 - 00:08:07.570

among persons of high moral character who possess the qualifications required in their respective countries for appointment to the highest judicial offices Or are jurist councils have recognized competence in international law. The court shall consist of 15 members. No two of whom may be nationals of the

00:08:07.570 - 00:08:23.620

same state. The members of the court should be elected by the General assembly and by the Security Council. The seat of the court shall be established at the Hague. This however, shall not prevent the court from sitting and exercising its functions elsewhere whenever the court considers

00:08:23.620 - 00:08:44.610

it desirable cases are brought before the court as the case may be either by the notification of the special agreement or by a written application addressed to the registrar. In either case, the subject of the dispute and the parties shall be indicated, conserving street. It is

00:08:44.610 - 00:09:17.210

necessary to restrict their cash. Thank you somewhat like coral will continue to live and reproduce in what areas they do not migrate. I'm pushing too. This recent authority decided by you, they did not also give right non nationals to fish. You're right that non nationals may

00:09:17.210 - 00:09:36.820

fish in, in an area claimed by a sovereign state on an influence. But the the rules and regulations sport fishing in the area are to be laid down by the stock and state which claims not at all. Maybe I mister would you please tell me what

00:09:36.830 - 00:10:17.960

the confirmation by the Australian government was exactly just a minute. Okay, mm hmm, mm hmm. I think the question about watching okay, after one of the lieutenants, you're as I understand we're trying to sure reliance from this fish word

00:10:19.330 - 00:10:48.330

maintaining a large industrial my question is as you stated in, I think it's, That goes back to 1824. Now, Does that include 1874 fishing in this area? Yeah. And then catholic to the carrier to my knowledge and it includes the area that we're speaking of. It's

00:10:48.330 - 00:11:16.840

a replica. Okay, because I would like to protest on the best authority that I can find The Japanese did not engineer until 93. The beginning with more electrical industry in 187 will always be able to raise enough procedural difficulties to stop any effective debate on substantive

00:11:16.850 - 00:11:45.730

matters all afternoon. The international monetary fund is an association of nations that have undertaken by accepting the fund. Articles of agreement to promote international monetary cooperation and the expansion of world trade on the border. Mm hmm. For nearly a speech. It was remarked the possibility of

00:11:45.730 - 00:12:04.220

amending any resolution, the chair and the committee and their refusal to allow the USSR to table a motion until such time as our amendment can be presented is attempting to relatives the USSR is not obstructing justice. The members who voted against the possibility of scaling the

00:12:04.220 - 00:12:33.060

motion so that time is amendment to be presented. I haven't been a notice in the Senate where you're us advice. Mm hmm. Running back shortly. Let's hear it. Yes. Would like to. What's your ruling like on the where am I? The Ukrainian investors are um, challenge

00:12:33.060 - 00:13:15.800

the rule of the chair. Oh wait, I'm not saying that. Mhm really point of order. Mr Church part of order. Mr Chairman. Mr jeremy, I told you about three minutes that should be here. Thank you with the church really discussion Dilatory because of the reasons mentioned

00:13:15.800 - 00:13:52.360

by the delegates from France and let us continue on discussions and the substances I tried it on Jim Teresa is not yet in the discussion of dilatory and we can continue on with United States resolution is obviously dilatory dilatory motions first of all. U S. S.

00:13:52.360 - 00:14:03.970

R. I would like to ask the United States not to speak before the Director of the point of order but the other cars race and secondly, Mr Chairman, I would like to speak on the point of order raised by Poland. That was scheduled calendar of major

00:14:03.970 - 00:14:39.980

event. Mm hmm 12 33 5 30 seconds. We are not officially meeting at this moment, isn't it understood that the meaning is in order in session. Intelligence adjourned, is that correct? Uh, leaving for dinner 5:30 and resilience here at 7:00. But what I'm talking about, he's

00:14:39.990 - 00:15:10.990

talking about taking a break. Uh, the meaning is in order until you so a journey. Is that correct? On the Ukrainian SSR Yeah, I feel that we should move into the United States revolution. I have now tested two of the rulings of the board and nothing

00:15:10.990 - 00:15:31.210

has been done on either. Are we trying to be well loaded here? Good morning of order. Mr. Chairman as stated before. If the Ukrainian SSR is appealing a ruling on a military matter. The appeal is obviously also military and since it is dilatory, it is also

00:15:31.220 - 00:15:58.810

out of work. Everything would like to beg both countries to stop this. Rather silly argument. Perhaps the chairman would make a ruling on this. We should get going. Okay. This delegation would like to I found out that, mm hmm. Members of delegations should know the language

00:15:58.820 - 00:16:21.170

they use arguments are not stealing by the rules of the Chair of rules. That will be two more speakers on this issue. And then we removed moving to the United States resolution, this is the meeting of the trusteeship council. According to the charter of the United

00:16:21.170 - 00:16:45.050

Nations. The trusteeship council shall consist of the following members of the United Nations Australia Belgium France, new Zealand, United Kingdom, United States china, USSR el Salvador, Syria Haiti and India. This includes as the charter provides those nations administering trust territories and an equal number of nations

00:16:45.050 - 00:17:02.360

who are not the trusteeship Council shall formulate a questionnaire on the political, economic, social and educational advancement of the inhabitants of each trust territory and the administering authority for each trust territory within the competence of the General Assembly shall make an annual report to the General

00:17:02.360 - 00:17:26.900

Assembly upon the basis of such questionnaire, definitely the order of their importance. I would give the job of consolidation and classification so that we would get the reports. These many reports that are quite similar in one classified reports now in doing this. I haven't agreed to

00:17:26.910 - 00:17:52.410

the right of direct petition because I included in the further being resolved section point of order. Mr. Chairman is the question and answer from the audience from the participating members According to the rules of procedure. Already the chairman decision question. This procedure. It was it was

00:17:52.410 - 00:18:07.950

not according to the rules of this body as stated. And the rules of procedure of the Trusteeship Council. Do you desire to raise a point of order? Point of information? It will be my understanding that this is out of order. Mm hmm. The desire to raise

00:18:07.950 - 00:18:26.450

the point of order. Point of order. The decision of the Chairman is out of order i against us as far as out of order because of the Republic of China is merely explaining the motion that is present point of order. Mr Chairman. The explanation has to

00:18:26.460 - 00:18:48.770

be put forward in a sort of a speech and not the question and answer All right. I'm afraid that I'm going to have to rule delegates from the USSR in order in order and sustain your point of order. So therefore his delegation from the United Kingdom

00:18:51.860 - 00:19:12.020

from the Republic of India desires to continue on the resolution before the house she may do so. Mm hmm. Appointed for you? No, I wondered if you wanted me to continue or you know, this is the delegates. It's been ruled out of order. Your Mhm I

00:19:12.030 - 00:19:29.820

understood that this was I understood that we were open to discussion of the of the revolution and then I just wanted to comment that if this is that there's a great deal more important politically to determine the composition of a body which sits and more or

00:19:29.820 - 00:19:46.060

less um has can give more weight to one position or another or another. Such a committee that he's talking about would have more power than the trade committee. And I think that we should think of devised a new way of choosing the committee before we uh

00:19:46.070 - 00:20:07.820

approved the resolution. Okay, is there any other delegate the desires to speak on this matter? Chairman? I would like to know if the delegate from Russia USSR who spoke in uh in regard a few minutes ago to this was checked as he came in. I don't

00:20:07.830 - 00:20:33.450

believe he was in here. When we started this meeting. A person who checked the identification is not here at present. Um let's see. Uh will the runner please check all uh entering credentials. The fuel station yourself by the other door have been checked. Mr Chairman by

00:20:33.460 - 00:20:57.250

Mr samurai. The president trying is there any other person besides the Republic of China or or those that have already spoken to? This is the Security Council. The Charter of the United Nations Reads the Security Council shall consist of 11 members of the United Nations. The

00:20:57.250 - 00:21:13.360

Republic of china France. The Union of soviet, Socialist Republics. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America shall be permanent members of the Security Council. The General assembly shall elect six other members of the United Nations. To be non

00:21:13.360 - 00:21:31.010

permanent members this year. Those members being Colombia, Denmark, Lebanon, brazil, New Zealand and Turkey. Any member of the United Nations which is not a member of the Security Council may participate without vote in the discussion of any question brought before the Security Council. Whenever the latter

00:21:31.010 - 00:21:46.440

considers that the interests of that member are especially affected all members of the United Nations in order to contribute to the maintenance of international peace and Security, undertake to make available to the Security Council on its call and in accordance with a special agreement or agreements,

00:21:46.470 - 00:22:10.170

armed forces assistance and facilities including rites of passage, necessary of the purpose of maintaining international peace and security. Yes, I want republicans shut down the border completely out. Ah The next item of business for the council will be the discussion of resolution of all those five.

00:22:11.760 - 00:22:32.830

I called upon the delegate from Turkey, the proposal of the revolution. The proposal which you have before you now is 05, which reads as follows. Whereas the so called Central People's government of china attempted to seize the republic of Korea by armed aggression. And whereas the

00:22:32.830 - 00:22:54.080

United Nations recognized this wanton aggression on February. The 1st 1951 hold off on the delivery for a minute to delegate human but I apologize I do not present at this time. The bill was proposed by the delegation of okay, the delegation from the republic of china

00:22:54.080 - 00:23:20.610

will be given to delegates. Thank you. Hi delegated uh delegated result of the these were distributed prior here comes and that we will be given to you. Well, the delegation, Turkey proceeded with the resolution. I'd like permission to start at the beginning since some members did

00:23:20.610 - 00:23:39.060

not have these. Whereas the so called Central People's government of China attempted to see the Republic of Korea by armed aggression And whereas the United Nations recognized this wanton aggression on february the 1st 1951 where are the chinese communists or so called People's Republic of China

00:23:39.540 - 00:23:55.660

has not yet shown convincing proof that they have a sincere desire to end aggression in Korea and make peace Be it resolved that the Security Council postponed for the current year, consideration of any proposals to seek the so called Central People's Republic in the United Nations.

00:24:01.610 - 00:24:29.120

Yes, I'd like to just briefly explain the reasons why Turkey proposes this resolution. As we all know. A few years ago, the north korean communists invaded south Korea after action by the United Nations. They were driven back. Then the chinese communists intervened in Korea, killing thousands

00:24:29.130 - 00:24:47.370

of soldiers of the United Nations and causing a serious breach of the peace at that time. The United Nations very forcefully acted against this wanton aggression and for the first time in the history of the world, we saw all the nations of the world United in

00:24:47.370 - 00:25:08.140

an effort to halt aggression. The result of this aggression was as I have said, the loss of many lives but the profit of this aggression wise that the chinese communists were stopped and that the United Nations was shown to have teeth something that people up to

00:25:08.140 - 00:25:30.950

that time ridiculed. He said the United Nations could not enforce what it deemed necessary. Furthermore this aggression by the chinese communists has to date not ceased. We all know that an armistice was signed with the Chinese Communist, but an armistice is not a piece. A piece.

00:25:31.440 - 00:25:49.320

It follows an armistice when a government which signifies its desires to do something right and to clarify the issues over which the aggression, what's made. Well, can I do want to tell you that we've been quite impressed with what we've seen here at san Francisco state

00:25:49.320 - 00:26:01.560

and this the fifth model United Nations. We haven't had a chance to get to the General assembly although we have been to many of the committee's we've seen how that the students are operating as members of the U. N. And I want to congratulate you on

00:26:01.560 - 00:26:13.910

the tremendous task that you have accomplished here at ST and putting on this show. Well thank you Pat. And of course at san Francisco State College, we're very happy that we're adding another great college to this community and I think it's going to be one of

00:26:13.910 - 00:26:29.290

the great american colleges in the very near future. I'd like to introduce the president of the associated students at san Francisco state bob horn bob. I wonder if I could get your reactions now. Well I am very proud to be the host college here to be

00:26:29.290 - 00:26:49.030

the representative of this host college. We've enjoyed having the delegates here during these four days and I think that it's a great advantage to the bay area that we can have such a gathering of this model United Nations here. How has this been finance bob? Well,

00:26:49.030 - 00:27:01.550

this was entirely paid for by students. As you know though, we did charge a small admission to the Opera House but this was merely to offset some of the costs were still going to come out of the law status, but but we think it's worth it.

00:27:02.240 - 00:27:24.350

Well, again, my thanks to both of you and I want to remind you folks that you've been watching this fifth model United Nations and this is pattern in your commentator for the fifth the United Nations model session here at SAn Francisco State. The purposes of the

00:27:24.350 - 00:27:42.960

United Nations are to maintain international peace and security, to develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self determination of people to achieve international cooperation in solving international problems and to be a center for harmonizing the actions of nations

00:27:42.960 - 00:27:58.060

in the attainment of these common ends. This has been a presentation of the 5th model. United Nations developed by students so that they might gain a better understanding of how to approach the problem of maintaining peace in the world today, this has been a production of

00:27:58.060 - 00:28:05.360

the Education Department of Station KPI X, in cooperation with the model U. N. Host SAN Francisco State College.
