14:05 - In the HS UNHRC the delegate from Nigeria believes we need to investigate human trafficking on a state, federal and international scale. Most of the delegates are in agreement about needing widespread investigation into the matter and are planning to make a motion to vote on and amend the singular position paper. Because of the widespread cooperation, many delegates expect it to pass unanimously.
