What is MUN ?
Model United Nations, or MUN, consists in simulations of United Nations conferences that usually take place over few days. These are intended for students who are passionate about international relations, diplomacy or global issues. The participants are asked to defend the interests of a country, which is assigned individually to each of them, in one of the many bodies of the UN, such as the UN Security Council, or the Human Rights Council.
It is required from the participants to have not only outstanding rhetoric but also a high sense of diplomacy since the aim of the conference is to result in the drafting of a resolution subsequently passed by the majority of the countries inside the committee. In order to actively take part in the conference, each participant will need precise knowledge of the issues addressed, the policies followed by its country as well as the various diplomatic relations between the member states. That is why preliminary research and thorough preparation are required from the students in order to take part in the conferences.
