Letter from the Dais
Greetings Delegates,
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to the Summit Of States at KMUN 2016. I,
Aniruddh Hari will be your Chair. Joining me on the dais are Aditya Venkatraman, your Vice
Chair and Adhesh Shenoy, your Moderator. KMUN started off on a very minute scale, but has grown to become one of Bangalore’s biggest MUNs. As the dais, we hope to continue this legacy with the SoS- envisioning this futuristic crisis committee was thrilling, but putting the pieces together to make it a reality takes the excitement to a whole new level.
The Summit of States is going to be a committee like no other, with crises that will hit you hard and leave you in a daze. One wrong decision, one wrong move, and the world will crumble right in front of your eyes. As members of this committee, you are responsible for the billions that reside on this planet; to excel in this committee, you will need quick thinking and effective improvisation.
Delegates, do bear in mind that to come up with viable solutions, you have to be thorough with your portfolio powers as well as the extent of influence your portfolio has in the committee. Also keep in mind the policies and the stance of your portfolio in the world now, and use it to project your portfolio in the future. We aim to provide you with a unique experience at SoS but the quality of debate and the success of the committee as a whole entirely depends on how you work for it.
If you have any questions, feel free to email us at sos@kmun.in. I wish you the best of luck for your preparation for this year’s KMUN and I look forward to seeing you in July for 3 days of heated debate and discussion!
Yours Sincerely,

Aniruddh Hari

BACKGROUND GUIDE: SOS

The Story So Far
It all started in 1991, with the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Apart from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, the other post-Soviet states were never fully rehabilitated and some of their conflicts never really resolved. Although the extent of turmoil in these areas has fluctuated over the last 27 years, their incessant existence never fully allowed these countries to experience peace and freedom. Moreover, several militant organizations and espionage agencies, which were known to have ended, continued to operate all around the world discreetly. Going underground meant they could spread faster and give themselves time to consolidate. United by similar ideals and enmity towards the USA, these militant organizations formed alliances with Islamist organizations like the Al-Taraib, Al-Qaeda and LeT despite their initial differences during the Soviet-Afghan War. The pro-Soviets blamed USA for taking away the glory of the USSR and were keen on seeking revenge for the mayhem caused due to the formation of several new countries in the region. To put the United States on the backfoot, there were several attempts at assassinating Bill Clinton, the President of the USA in the
1990s, but all were unsuccessful.
In the early 21st century, the Al-Qaeda and Al-Taraib decided to go full throttle and launched a series of four coordinated attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon on the morning of September 11, 2001 . The aftermath of the attacks saw tensions increase in many countries between Muslims and Non-Muslims, hate crimes against American
Muslims and many Muslims allegedly being arrested in the name of terrorism. This led to a downward plunge in the peace and security conditions in the Middle East as well as several other Asian and African countries. The rift thus created continued to expand throughout the decade, as more acts of violence and terrorism ensued, in different parts of the world, at different times.
For about 13 years, the Soviet agencies and militant organizations worked partly in conjunction with the Al-Taraib and the Al-Qaeda. But in October 2007, the alliance started crumbling due to the involvement of the Caucasian Emirate in a major conflict in Russia.
The Caucasus Emirate was a militant Jihadist organisation active in southwestern Russia. Its intention was to expel the Russian presence from the North Caucasus and to establish an independent Islamic emirate in the region. This led to chaos within the organization at the end of which, majority of ex-army men, assassins and combatants parted ways.Most of the non-Muslims took their place in the world, and realized now that bringing down the US wouldn’t hold much water. However, the radical Islamist combatants went on to join the next big genus of Salafi jihadists with the aim of expanding the Islamic Empire : The ISIS.
The ISIS has been around for two decades now, but it’s advent has been noticeable only since 2014. It has grown immensely in the last four years and is one of the major threats to the world. Thousands of people have joined the ISIS from different countries to support their cause and help them expand. They were responsible for the terrorist attacks in Paris in

2015 and in Belgium in early 2016. In May 2018, there was a large influx of people coming into Algeria from Israel and were suspected to be part of ISIS due to minor insurgencies in
North Africa earlier in the year.
On the other hand, terrorist activities in Eastern Europe proved to be highly instrumental in bringing together, a group of people having a self agreed goal : Elimination and
Interception of all mass killings in Europe. After the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis a.k.a, the pro-Russian unrest, where several lives were lost on both sides and the bombings in
Paris and Belgium, the militant organizations and espionage agencies which had separated from the Islamist alliance reconcilliated with powerful cyber defense groups from many parts of Europe to form The Conglomerate Organization.
Initially, the organization functioned through backdoor protocols and regimented hacking.
They played a key role in amassing a goldmine of key information on the ISIS in March,
2016. Conglomerate’s existence and the activities of its mercenaries was brought to light only after it had grown to become a massive organization. Although The Conglomerate
Organization was unlawful according to the UN Mercenary Convention, which goes against the recruitment, use, training or financing of mercenary organization, the world turned a blind eye to this matter as other issues were exponentially worsening.
In the 2016 Presidential elections in the USA, Donald Trump emerged victorious and assumed office in January 2017. His vision of “Make America Great Again” saw a move to completely ban all Muslims; legal immigrants, American Muslims and business professionals alike.
Simultaneously, in the science and tech industry, Elon Musk was rapidly gaining worldwide recognition primarily through his SpaceX project and popularity of Tesla Motor vehicles, but also through other his futuristic visions, including,but not limited to, his Mars mission.
SolarCity and Hyperloop are in their final stages of development and may prove to be ultra huge successes.
In the first financial quarter of 2017, Google announced its first venture into aviation and avionics, the Android Fly. Android Fly is seen as a huge success, one of the biggest breakthroughs in the industry after EFIS. In April 2017, BAE systems refused to partner or support android fly with any of its products. BAE systems refused to comment on their reason to do so but rumors indicate that it is possible to do with security. By Q3 of 2017,
Android Fly had been successfully installed into 15,000 commercial flights and multiple private jets.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, the Home Minister of India released a press statement on June 9th 2017 stating that the government had genuine concerns about future relations with Pakistan. Ever since seizing control of Pakistan for the second time,
Army General Pervez Musharraf had shown indications that Pakistan would not rest until they receive what was rightfully theirs : Kashmir.

The latest world threat occurred on 29th June 2018, when North Korea media released a video of Kim Jong Un, stating with an air of pride that North Korea was done being subjugated by the world and was well stocked with nuclear artillery to take on the world.
All citizens of the country from the age of 8 were made to sign an agreement, pledging their lives for this justified cause.
The world is in turmoil, and its boiling down to a massive global crisis. The Summit of
States convenes on the 7th, 8th and 9th July 2018 to save the world from destruction. Will the committee restore the world back to normal or will the most powerful fail and watch the world collapse right in front of their eyes?

Committee Portfolios
Donald Trump

One of the most powerful men in the world currently, Donald Trump has been in power for
2 years, making radical changes in law, that he believes will ‘Make America Great Again’.
As president of the United States of America and the chairman of The Trump Organization, one of the strongest private organizations of the world since 2016, his actions make a huge difference in the direction in which the current situation goes.

Kim Jong Un

The Supreme Leader of the DPRK, Kim Jong Un’s influence in the current world situation cannot be ignored. Recently, his threats have intensified to fatal magnitudes and his claims about North Korea’s nuclear might and advanced weaponry continue to worry the nations of the world. His actions could possibly bring about everlasting changes in the current scenario. Ramtane Lamamra

He is currently the African Union’s Commissioner for Peace and Security. As the former
Minister of Foreign Affairs of Algeria, he had played a vital role in achieving majority of the
Millennium Development Goals through far-reaching policies that established the rule of law and provided equal opportunities for men and women.
Having been reinstated as the Commissioner for Peace and Security, he works ceaselessly to improve conditions in Northern Africa and solve issues brought about by the ISIS in
Africa.

Google. Pichai’s actions will have far reaching consequences in times of turbulence.

Benjamin Netanyahu

Netanyahu is a gifted orator, only he can do it in English too, and he has been Israel’s most effective mouthpiece to the world during the recent intifada. While some may argue the means and consequences, Netanyahu also turned Israel’s dire economic situation around under an onslaught of terror and international condemnation, saving the country from economic disaster.His hard hitting methods will diversify the committee.

Force Commander

The UN peacekeeping forces is a unique and dynamic instrument developed by the UN to create the conditions for lasting peace in countries torn by war and conflict. The Force
Commander has the responsibility of heading peacekeeping operations and decisive actions by this individual can aid in controlling rising tensions in different parts of the world. Vladimir Putin

Being the President of the world’s largest nation is no common task, but Vladimir Putin, the current President of Russia, is no common man. Having served as a KGB official for 16 years, Putin is a great addition to the think tank of the committee. With Russia’s economy crashing due to the sanctions imposed by other countries in light of the invasion of Crimea, as well as falling oil prices, Putin’s decisions could have a major impact on the current situation. Volodymyr Groysman

Elected as the youngest Prime Minister of Ukraine, Volodymyr Groysman is a man with a mission-Groysman has indicated he would fight corruption and build closer ties with the European Union which has complained about widespread and pervasive corruption in Ukraine’s government and economy. With Russia and Ukraine in a deadlock and the scenario still delicate, this man’s influence in the committee is substantial.

Tangents In Beowulf

...All of the tangents in Beowulf add artistic elements to the story and provide historical contexts for readers so they can understand the purpose better. These kinds of stories are meant to teach and entertain people at the same time. . Beowulf’s main goal was to be a hero. Most men in this story wanted to be just like him. Additionally, he followed, what he perceived to be, the will of god. This is why he killed the dragon; because he believe that that is what God wanted him to do. Unferth showed the more jealous side of those who are heroic and successful. Additionally, the role of women in this poem are vital because they keep the men in order, but showing them how they should or should not act. The social world of Beowulf exclude non-heroics and monsters...

...the Equation of a Tangent Line Using the First Derivative Certain problems in Calculus I call for using the first derivative to find the equation of the tangent line to a curve at a specific point. The following diagram illustrates these problems. There are certain things you must remember from College Algebra (or similar classes) when solving for the equation of a tangent line. Recall : • A Tangent Line is a line which locally touches a curve at one and only one point. • The slope-intercept formula for a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. • The point-slope formula for a line is y – y1 = m (x – x1). This formula uses a point on the line, denoted by (x1, y1), and the slope of the line, denoted by m, to calculate the slope-intercept formula for the line. Also, there is some information from Calculus you must use: Recall: • The first derivative is an equation for the slope of a tangent line to a curve at an indicated point. • The first derivative may be found using: A) The definition of a derivative : lim h →0 f (x + h ) − f ( x ) h B) Methods already known to you for derivation, such as: • Power Rule • Product Rule • Quotient Rule • Chain Rule (For a complete list and description of these rules see your text) With these formulas and definitions in mind you can find the equation of a tangent line. Consider the following problem: Find the equation of the line tangent to f ( x ) = x 2...

SOH-Cah-Toa Case Study

...The first step that I did to determine the values of cosine, tangent, and sine was to sketch a right triangle that has the vertical length of three and has the horizontal base length of two. The second step that I did to determine the values of cosine, tangent, and sine was to utilize the pythagorean theorem to determine the length of the hypotenuse which looks like this square root(2^2 + 3^2) = square root(13). The third step that I did to determine the values of cosine, tangent, and sine was to utilize the acronym SOH-CAH-TOA to determine the right trigonometry ratios that have the opposite side always being vertical side which is three and the adjacent side always being the horizontal side which is two. The fourth step that I did to determine...

...the tangent universe, which he has no idea of. The happenings in the movie Donnie Darko built up a purpose for him as well as an understanding as to why he was in the tangent universe in the first place. However, the realization that he was not in the primary universe, Donnie does not have a clear purpose to serve in the tangent universe and various elements of his journey seem unclear. For example, in the tangent universe, Donnie does not seem to have met Gretchen and neither does he connect well with Frank. However, following the fact that Gretchen and Frank have a purpose to accomplish in the favor of saving the universe before it collapses into a black hole, Donnie realizes that there is instability in the tangent universe and it is his responsibility as the chosen one to hand over the jet engine artifact back to the primary universe before things escalate out of proportion. Bundled with supernatural powers such as gaining some sort of powers, such as the capabilities to conjure fire, water, and telekinesis, Donnie, firstly did not have an idea as to what these powers entailed and why he had to have them. However with provocation from other characters in the tangent universe, Donnie is able to understand that time is not in his or the primary universe’s side. The artifact, jet engine, was in tangent universe as a mistake as there can never be two copies of the same item in one universe. With this understanding, the purpose of being in the tangent universe...

The Story of an Hour vs Lamb to the Slaughter

...trigonometric functions of any angle. Notice the side opposite the angle θ has a length of the y value of the given coordinates. The adjacent side has a length of the x value of the coordinates. The length of the hypotenuse is given by x2 + y2 . Lets say, for the sake of argument, the length of the hypotenuse is 1 unit. This would mean the following would be true. 1 y 1 cos θ = x sec θ = x y x tan θ = cot θ = x y You must think of the sine function as giving you the y value, whereas the cosine function yields the x value. This is how we will determine whether the sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant or cotangent of a given angle is a positive or negative value. sin θ = y csc θ = If the angle to be evaluated is in quadrant IV, for instance, the sine of the angle θ will be negative. The cosine of θ , in this instance, will be positive, while the tangent of the angle θ will be negative. Example Evaluate the six trigonometric functions of an angle θ , in standard position, whose terminal side has an endpoint of (-3,2). The angle with terminal side is first drawn. Remember, in order to evaluate the six trigonometric ' functions for θ , use the reference angle θ . From the endpoint of the terminal side of the angle, a line is drawn to the x axis. This is the reason reference angles are always drawn in relation to the x axis. It will always create a right triangle with which to work. Now all that is needed to solve the problem, is...

...cosine. Again, take the horizontal axis to be the t-axis, but now take the vertical axis to be the x-axis, and graph the equation x = cos t. Note that it looks just like the graph of sin t except it's translated to the left by /2. That's because of the identity cos t = sin (/2 + t). Although we haven't come across this identity before, it easily follows from ones that we have seen: cos t = cos –t = sin (/2 – (–t)) = sin (/2 + t). The graphs of the tangent and cotangent functions The graph of the tangent function has a vertical asymptote at x = /2. This is because the tangent approaches infinity as t approaches /2. (Actually, it approaches minus infinity as t approaches /2 from the right as you can see on the graph. You can also see that tangent has period ; there are also vertical asymptotes every units to the left and right. Algebraically, this periodicity is expressed by tan (t + ) = tan t. The graph for cotangent is very similar. This similarity is simply because the cotangent of t is the tangent of...
