Finals
I’m currently very busy with my Final IB Exams.
But soon it’ll be done!
It’s actually sad that we have to spend our last days in Mostar studying but I’m sure we’ll enjoy the time after finals until graduation therefore even more!
Yesterday, after our biology paper 1 and 2 we took a walk to Old Town which is once again filled with lots of tourists who make the atmosphere very lively.
The verdict
MUNiM is over! And so is a weekend full of fun, discussions and diplomatic debates.
The ICJ was not only really great but after 3 full days of discussions, we came up with a verdict. After both Japan and the Commonwealth of Australia had presented their memorandums, evidences, witnesses and stand points it was up to my judges to decided upon the guilt of the defendant, Japan.
And they did: the majority found Japan guilty in the case whaling in the Antarctic.
The interesting fact: The real ICJ verdict was released exactly the day after our verdict supporting our judgment ruling on Japan for whaling in the Antarctic.
You can either check out a summary or the full verdict of the ICJ between Australia and Japan.

MUNiM and Earth Hour 2014
We are very excited for the next three days to approach as this year’s MUN in Mostar (Model United Nations) Conference will take place from the 28. 03. – 30. 03 2014 and this year’s Earth Hour will take place on the 29th of March at 8:30 til 9:30 by turning off all the electricity for an hour.
Students have been working hard to pull this MUN conference together, thus we are very excited for it to start.
You can keep updated with all the news happening during this weekend’s conference either on our website or on our Facebook page.
Guiding packages for the delegates
Tomorrow morning will mark the first day of the conference starting with the opening ceremony which can be followed via live stream. We are going to host guest speakers such as H.E. High Representative in BiH Valentin Inzko along with UNDP representatives.
This year’s MUNiM will further gather over 150 participants from all over the world as well as from the region and of course from our school.
I am going to be the President of the ICJ (International Court of Justice) discussing the dispute between Australia and Japan over whaling and I am very excited to, after having experienced my first ICJ in Egypt last October, lead this council!
Join the Earth Hour 2014!
