Introduction to Vice Chair: Patty Midy

Hello delegates! My name is Patty and I am incredibly excited to be one of your vice chairs for UNHRC!  I have been involved in MUN since high school and was head chair of UN-Habitat last year.  This year your head chair, Annalise, has chosen some wonderfully pertinent topics and I’m excited to see how all of you will tackle them.  Currently, I’m a senior Individual Major: Space & Character at Cal, this means that I have created my own major, which focuses on design based research studying the relationship between spaces and the people who use them.  I am also earning minors in Theater, Architecture and Sustainable Design & Urbanism in Developing Countries.  

 I am originally from Haiti, but have also lived in Florida, Texas and now California!  However, Haiti will always remain my first home. I have seen in person the problems that can plague a country when it comes to issues affecting aid workers and refugees and look forward to hearing well thought out and researched solutions to these difficult topics. 

 Outside of BMUN, I am highly active in the Bay Area theater scene, having designed and produced several shows. I’m also involved in my sorority, Alpha Chi Omega, and I currently intern at Arup, an engineering company (where I thankfully do very little engineering!) Feel free to speak to me about any of these topics outside of debate!

I look forward to meeting all of you soon and reading your insightful comments on our blog posts!

Are NGOs the only way to support IDPs?

As noted in the background guide, there are many factors that can cause people to become internally displaced. The cluster groups of NGOs and other aid organizations work together to provide the IDPs with their basic needs. The Water Project has been a part of these cluster groups to provide immediate assistance to clusters before. In addition, they also work to mitigate water scarcity driven displacement through the building of " wells, dams and other water catchment systems." While the current cluster approach helps IDPs access basic needs, it doesn't address the larger systemic failures of governments to provide for their people who are displaced nor function as a lasting fix to the systems that cause displacement (war, development, etc).  How can governments better provide for internally displaced people? What are the political implications of NGOs providing basic resources for IDPs instead of governments themselves? Does the current cluster approach effectively a

Boko Haram's Anti-Western Strategy and the 'Western' Aid Worker

Image
Boko Haram has notoriously grown into one of the most well-known fundamentalist groups active in the northeastern region of Nigeria. They have frequently taken hostages and responsibility for attacks on Nigerian cities, that involve terrorist tactics and force. While the group remains at large and is highly controversial, they have also been utilizing aid workers as part of their campaign against Westernization as the group's title suggests since it translates to "Western Education is Forbidden/Sinful." Keeping this context in mind, it is essential when discussing the topic of the protection of aid workers in conflict zones, to understand the cultural implications of humanitarian work that is often facilitated by Western-aid organizations or NGOs based in the US and Europe. While that's not to say that Boko Haram would not be opposed to aid, that did not arrive from a Western organization, it is an important claim to understand that aid from organizations that appear

Assessing the Psychological Situation of Internally Displaced Peoples

Image
Internally displaced persons (IDPs) are not only one of the most marginalized groups, but also one of the most under-researched groups according to a study conducted by the University of Zurich (link to the full article is attached below). The psychological impacts of trauma witnessed, displacement, and detachment from home and familiarity all render high rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and anxiety cases in populations of internally displaced persons. However, one of the most significant challenges to assessing the psychological situation of this population, is the restricted access to transparent information about these persons. The lack of transparency is in part caused by a lack of focus on internally displaced persons, as studies often emphasize refugees and post traumatic stress disorder over IDPS and mental health complications such as anxiety and depression. Another major cause of the lack of data on the psychological conditions of the internally di
