What is Model UN?

 

As stated by the United Nations Association of the United States of America:

"Model United Nations is an authentic simulation of the UN General
Assembly, UN Security Council, or other multilateral body, which catapults
students into the world of diplomacy and negotiation. In Model UN,
students step into the shoes of ambassadors of UN member states, from
Afghanistan to Zimbabwe to debate current issues on the Organization's vast
agenda. The students, better known as "delegates" in Model UN, prepare
draft resolutions, plot strategy, negotiate with supporters and adversaries,
resolve conflicts, and navigate the UN's rules of procedure-all in the
interest of mobilizing "international cooperation" to resolve problems that
affect almost every country on Earth."
