1 MUNGA Model United Nations Assembly United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child was established to protect children and ensure that all children receive the same basic standards of living regardless of their nationality, faith or ethnicity.
2 Article 24 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, as ratified in 1991, states that: All children have the right to good quality health care, to clean water, nutritious food and a clean environment. It is widely recognised that having access to clean drinking water and adequate sanitation has a huge impact on child health worldwide. We believe that far too many children are the victims of life threatening tening diseases because they do not have access to clean water. We support the idea that rich countries should help poorer countries to provide clean water and good sanitation. We also believe that the provision of water supplies should be a priority for Aid Organisations in emergency and disaster ster situations.
3 Wants and rights. We all want things. But what do we have a right to?
4 Wants and rights. the right to health, the right to a childhood, the right to be safe. These rights may seem simple enough, but life is complex. Sometimes, events outside human control conspire to take some of our basic rights away
5 Climate change and children A new report looks at eight countries which regularly experience climate-related disasters, showing a direct link between an increase in recorded disasters and diarrhoea,, low-birth weight, and malnutrition in children. In most countries, children's education also suffered due to damage caused by disasters and illness keeping children from school. "Climate change is clearly increasing the number of disasters affecting children significantly," said David Bull, Executive Director of UNICEF UK. "Children are not responsible for climate change, but are the most likely to feel its effects and are the least prepared to deal with them. This is wrong. We must invest in preparing children for climate-related disasters so that more children do not die needlessly. Children in richer countries can be affected too.
6 Japan Hit by a huge Tsunami in Fukushima, Japanese children have experienced first hand the effects of severe weather. ce-environment environment Climate change affecting the melting of polar ice-caps caps can cause earthquakes and flooding in other parts of the world. Earthquakes and tsunamis occur in Japan because of its geography, rather than climate change. However, this earthquake was the strongest on record for Japan and one of the 5 most serious earthquakes ever recorded in the world.
7 A chain of consequences The water supply is turned off. No washing up. Dirty plates Not enough drinking water. Existing water becomes contaminated.
8 A chain of consequences The schools are closed down
9 How the Tsunami has affected water supplies in Japan. Drinking water was made unsafe in some places by damaged infrastructure eg water pipes Radioactive water is leaking from the damaged nuclear plant into the sea High radiation levels has effected some foods production
10 How were children affected by the disaster? Flooding caused 100,000 children to lose their homes. Some were separated from their parents. Thousands of children are staying in 2,500 evacuation centres Children need support to help them come to terms with the trauma they are experiencing. The damaged nuclear plant led to more children being evacuated.
11 Your job today is to find some evidence to help persuade the United Nations to send aid to Japan Step 1: Decide on roles for your group. You need a scribe, a researcher, a motivator/time checker and a reporter. Step 2: Collect information on your area and record in a brainstorm. Step 3: Decide which facts are the most persuasive and feed them back at the end. WILF: *team work *thorough research *persuasive feedback
