Head Chair Introduction- Marine Fujisawa

 Hi everyone!

My name is Marine Fujisawa, a fourth year studying political science and economics here at UC Berkeley. This is my fourth and final year in BMUN after joining as a freshman. Over the years,  I have chaired Security Council, PRESS Corps, and a Rwandan crisis committee. I am so thrilled to be back for a second time to chair Security Council this year. SC was the first committee I chaired after joining BMUN, so it has always had a very special place in my heart. Despite conference being virtual this year, I plan on doing everything possible to enhance everyone's learning experience. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! 

Outside of BMUN, I am also involved in a consulting organization and greek life. I also like to go to the beach, explore museums, and read- so let me know if you have any recommendations! During quarantine I also picked up painting and cooking, which has been a huge blessing since I just moved in to an apartment! I'm from Southern California, so I always love being able to go back home as well.

I'm looking forward to meeting you all in committee! Get hyped!!

-Marine

Option for Open Agenda: Myanmar's Experiment in Democracy comes to a Halt

     On February 1st, Myanmar's military, the Tatmadaw, overthrew the nation's young civilian government. They acted quickly and decisively to shut down the country, temporarily shutting off telecommunications and internet access, and placing Aung San Suu Kyi and other prominent leaders under arrest. The move came shortly before the Burmese Parliament was set to begin its first session following elections in November which brought a landslide victory for Aung San Suu Kyi's party, the National League for Democracy (NLD). In what was broadly seen as a referendum on democracy, the NLD won a resounding 83% of the available seats amid cries of fraud from the military-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party.       Aung San Suu Kyi is widely regarded as a national hero for her work in advocating for Burmese democracy. The daughter of independence hero Bogyote Aung San, she spent 15 years in house arrest for her role in the 8888 Uprising against the coun...
