Each committee aimed to raise awareness in the students regarding issues of global and national importance.On the first day of the conference the students learned how to debate in the UN environment which was simulated here for them. Emphasis was laid on approaching their problems diplomatically.There can be no better way to end the first day of a heated debate session then by relaxing around a fire on a cool night amongst friends, while being mesmerized by the musical talents of the student body. The BONFIRE was the perfect release of the diplomatic tension which had built up, while it served as an ice breaker for the opposing sides of the international world.Sessions closed with the tactical approach being adopted by each individual for their roles as diplomats. The improvement witnessed from the show on the previous day was proof of how when motivated, individuals from diverse cultures through a little guidance can work together for a common goal. Before debate in each committee was suspended, ZABMUN 7.5 played host to representative of US Consulate General in Karachi. They visited each committee and were given a synopsis regarding the progress of the committee on their issues.The Closing ceremony of ZABMUN 7.5 took place in the Auditorium at the SZABIST 90 Campus.

extremism.“We are becoming increasingly more violent and unreasonable,” he observed. “ Mr.Rehman also raised a question as to “How efficient can the military courts be when the evidence is being collected by the same police?” When Asked about Pakistan being an Islamic state, he said “A state is not a human being.
