General Introduction
2020 was a devastating year for global health. A previously unknown virus raced around the world, rapidly emerging as one of its top killers, laying bare the inadequacies of health systems. Today, health services in all regions are struggling to both tackle COVID-19 and provide people with vital care.
In another blow, the pandemic threatens to set back hard-won global health progress achieved over the past two decades – in fighting infectious diseases, for example, and improving maternal and child health.
So, in 2021, countries around the world will need to continue battle COVID-19 (albeit with the knowledge that effective tools are evolving). They will need to move swiftly to repair and reinforce their health systems so they can deliver these tools, and to address the key societal and environmental issues that result in some sections of the population suffering so much more than others.
WHO and its partners will be at their side? We will work to help countries strengthen preparedness for pandemics and other emergencies. We will remind them of the importance of bringing countries together and of involving the whole government, not just the health sector. And we will support them in building strong health systems and healthy populations
- UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL
Agenda:
- One of the primary issue as Russia Ukraine crisis
- Other geopolitical crisis in the global scenario in terms of War
- Recent changes in the global politics escalating danger of imminent World War 3
General Introduction
The attack on Ukraine by Russia is potentially the onset of war in Europe on top of Russia’s behest for an end to NATO’s eastward expansion. The launch of the major invasion by Russia on Ukraine, that started with air and missile assaults on Ukrainian military targets before sending troops and tanks across the country’s northern, eastern, and southern borders. On many fronts, the Ukrainian military fought back. In a video speech delivered early Friday, February 25, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that 137 people had been killed, including troops and civilians, and that hundreds more had been injured.
We are now closer to World War III than we were last year, Shifrinson says, but are still “several steps away from a conflict akin to World Wars I and II.”
“Economic sanctions are a really poor tool for coercing other countries,” he says. The United States had tried to deter Russia with the threat of sanctions, but Putin still decided the stakes were worth invading Ukraine.
“I think calls for a no-fly zone are an understandable response to the humanitarian tragedy unfolding [in Ukraine],” says Shifrinson, “but at the same time, I think people have not fully thought through the dangers involved.”
- ALL INDIA POLITICAL [PARTIES MEET (AIPPM)
Agenda:
- A solution to stop the division of Country in the name of religion and places of worship.
General Introduction
Debate on: Who holds the claim on “GYANVAPI”
Contested Place of Worship: History and context of the Gyanvapi Mosque. In an India that boasts of secular ethos, there stands a mosque bearing a Sanskritised name. Gyanvapi (meaning ‘well of knowledge) is a mosque in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, yanked into the limelight for a dispute over its prevailing religious status, notwithstanding its established history.
- LOK SABHA 2024 COMMITTEE
AGENDA:
- Usage of Hate Speeches and connecting it with the political regime. Is it a termite-eating Indian’s secular nature?
General Introduction
Debate on: Hate Speech and Sedition in Electoral politics
Democracy, politics and hate speech
Post-colonial India has earmarked in the Preamble of its Constitution that the nation is Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic, Republic, Justice, Liberty and Equality. The term democracy has grown to the extent that for running a government, to win the elections, the proposed representative of the people of India contesting for election took free license to discriminate any group, defame any set of people and even to the extent to express hatred towards a particular group in open without hesitation. Once this desert was in thirst of freedom; now it is spilling back to the ocean.
While there are ordinary criminal laws prohibiting hate speech in India, Section 123(3A) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951 (‘RP Act’) deals specifically with hate speech in the context of electoral campaigns, classifying it as ‘corrupt practice’. Additionally, the Election Commission of India’s Model Code of Conduct forbids political parties or candidates from engaging in activities that promote hatred between communities.
The Supreme Court has engaged extensively with the question of whether caste and communal appeals can be made by candidates during elections. In the context of hate speech in election campaigns, the Court has delivered two prominent decisions—collectively known as the ‘Hindutva’ judgments, that appear to narrowly construe the factors leading to disqualification under Section 123(3A) of the RP Act
- NCW (NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR WOMEN)
AGENDA:
- The reservation system in the light of recent outrage in overall politics and judiciary for women
General Introduction
On January 28, the Supreme Court delivered an important judgment clarifying how reservations in promotions for members of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in government jobs should be carried out. Though reservations in promotions have been in existence for a long time, in 2006 the Supreme Court had introduced extensive conditions relating to data collection that the government had to fulfil relating to backwardness and inadequacy in representation. This made it difficult to implement reservation policies.
The Central government as well as various state governments wanted the court to reconsider this decision since it created a hindrance to implementing reservations in promotions. In 2018, though the Supreme Court refused to reconsider its 2006 decision, it tweaked the conditions. Even then, however, there was uncertainty on how this should be implemented. As a result, several state governments wanted the court to further clarify how reservations in promotions should be carried out.
This judicial debate becomes important since the confusion about data collection has often meant the de facto denial of reservations in promotions.
