The III RUDN University International Model United Nations

The Model United Nations is a long-term research project, a complex multifunctional intellectual role-playing game – imitation of the activities of the main UN bodies (the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Human Rights Council, etc.).

Traditionally, the Model United Nations is held for three to four days. During this period, students play the role of delegates-representatives of the chosen countries in the UN bodies determined by the organizing committee of the event. The Model is organized according to UN procedure rules in one or more official languages of the Organization. As a result, each committee of the Model submits a resolution on agenda items discussed in the committee. This document simultaneously fully corresponds to the original executed by the modeled body and represents the students’ opinion on the way to solving global problems.
