Many students have participated in MODEL UN-conferences at highschools and universities. The Lockerbie Crisis has been "played" through at such conferences a numerous times, since the students will get some good lessons of lobbying in th UN, understanding international criminal law and the work of the ICJ and the UN Security Council while "playing".  Here is an example from one Model UN-conference held in the USA in 1997. The students had to "play" Libyan UN-team and they lobbyed through a resolution, ending the UN sanctions. Ahh - wouldn't you wich it were true ?!?

LIFTING THE SANCTIONS IMPOSED ON LIBYA

The General Assembly,

Concerning the sanctions placed on Libya by the Security Council Resolutions 748 (1992) and 883 (1993) because of the unfortunate crash of Pan AM flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland on December 21, 1988,

Emphasizing that the Libyan government had nothing to do with the bombing of this passenger plane and simply wishes that the Libyans accused of this crime be either tried in a neutral country, tried by Scottish judges in the International Court of Justice, or tried by a special criminal tribunal at the ICJ headquarters,

Noting that the extradition of the two Libyan citizens accused of the bombing to the United States or to the United Kingdom contradicts Libyan national law and the United States Supreme Court ruling which bars extradition in the absence of an extradition treaty,

Deeply concerned that Security Council Resolution 731 (1992) condemned Libya for not cooperating with the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing investigation while Libya has met all of its commitments under applicable international law,

Recognizing the Resolutions 731 was adopted in clear violation of the Charter of the United Nations (Article 27, paragraph 3) that states " decisions of the Security Council on all matters shall be made by an affirmative vote of nine members, including concurring votes of the permanent members, provided that, in decision, under Chapter VI, and under Article 52, paragraph 3, a party of the dispute shall abstain from voting,

Recalling the resolution adopted by the General Assembly on December 6, 1996 (A/RES/51/22) entitled "Elimination of the coercive economic measures as a means of political and economic compulsion," in which the General Assembly called for an immediate halt of sanctions imposed on companies and citizens of other states,

Reiterating Chapter One of the Charter of the United Nations which states that one of the purposes of this institution is "to develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determinations of peoples",

Noting with regret the harsh humanitarian consequences suffered by the Libyan people especially the loss of lives due to the lack of medical assistance which is a direct result of the aerial embargo,

Bearing in mind that the sanctions had terrible effects on the economic status of Libyan, especially in the areas of agriculture, transportation, and communications, industry and mining, finance and trade, and energy that totaled losses of roughly ten billion dollars,

Alarmed that the "collective punishment" against the entire Libyan people is a blatant violations of the First Article, paragraph 2 of the International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights which stipulates "in no9 case may a people be deprived of its own means of substinence",

Appreciating the support to lift the sanctions Libya has received form the Organization of African Unity, the Arab League, the Non-Aligned Movement, and the Islamic Conference Organization,

  1. Urges that the Libyans accused of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 be tried in either a neutral country, tried by Scottish Judges in the ICJ, or tried by a special criminal tribunal at the ICJ headquarters, not the United States or the United Kingdom, to insure that they get a fair trial,
  2. Appeals to the Political and Security Committee to recommend to the General Assembly that the sanctions imposed on Libya by the United Nations be lifted,
  3. Requests that the United Nations provides financial aid to Libya to help get the economy back on its feet and also help get the medical supplies and standards up to pre-sanction levels.
