What is The United Nations?
The United Nations (UN) is an international
organization whose stated aims are facilitating
cooperation in international law, international
security, economic development, social progress,
human rights, and the achieving of world peace.
The UN was founded in 1945 after World War II to
replace
the League of Nations, to stop wars between
countries, and to provide a platform for
dialogue. It contains multiple subsidiary
organizations to carry out its mission.

What is Model United Nations?
A Model United Nations is the simulation of
different United Nations organs or affiliated
International Organizations (ex. European Union,
NATO, etc.). Delegates (you) are assigned a
country to represent in a certain committee (e.g.
General Asssembly) and their goal is to defend
their countrys point of view on the issues
discussed (e.g. Water Scarcity).
During committee sessions, delegates have to work
together in order to produce resolutions . For
that, the delegates have to team up with their
allies, negotiate with their enemies, debate,
argue and do compromises.
