Still a Long Road to Go

As first-day conflicts arises between the United States of America and the Soviet Union, a resolution is far to be seen.

On the first day of debates, the delegates started the first session of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) with a mock theme: which school of Porto Alegre would survive the Hunger Games. After a lot of arguments and laughs, the relaxing time was over. It was time for what truly matters: The Vietnam War. A battle of ideological ideas was formed after the United States of America accused North Vietnam of fraudulent elections and sent a clear message to the Soviet Union that their country wouldn't approve anything coming from Ho Chi Min. The Soviet Union responded, saying that South Vietnam’s elections were, also, possibly, fraudulent. 

Then, following the Agenda Proposal’s topics that had been already decided in the last session, non-moderate debates were initiated about peacekeeping, financial support to South Vietnam and militar support. All debates had ideological conflicts, without any agreement about ceasefire, making the road for finding peace even more distanced. 

It is expected that, in the following day, a final resolution could be agreed, putting a period at the conflicts that affect the innocent population of Vietnam and young soldiers as a whole. It is also hoped that, in the next sessions, the committee will be able to get a plausible resolution to this conflict, since there’s almost no time for useless topics to be discussed.
