MUN History
The first MUN conference took place in the Hague, in the Netherlands. To this day, it is the largest as far
as size is concerned, since more than 2500 student-delegates take part in the conference each year. The
amount of participants depends on the conference, but this number generally ranks from 350 to 600
students.
Lfh-ED’s attendance
The LFH ED has been sending a delegation of pupils to the German School of Athens’ MUN (DSAMUN)
since 2004, a group of students took part in the conference organized by the American School of
Thessaloniki (ACMUN), in February 2008, where four of our students were rewarded for their excellent
work and our delegates were also awarded special mentions at the St Petersburg 2009 conference.
Each country is represented by four to seven students overall –among whom one is an ambassador – with
one delegate in each of the following committees: Political Committee, Human Rights Committee,
Environmental Committee, Disarmament Committee, Economic and Social Committee, Security Council,
Special Conference. Every committee works on two to four issues, similar to those being discussed in the
UN.
The delegates’ work consists in representing their country in the committee they have been assigned. To
do so, they have to do a certain amount of work prior to the conference: study their issue and write a
draft resolution that respects their country’s viewpoint. They also need to be well-informed of the
country’s standpoint on the other subjects discussed in the committee, in order to be able to take part in
the debate. During the conference, the delegates lobby to get enough signatures to pass their draft
resolutions, study the other projects and reach compromises. In another phase, they present their
resolution publicly, vote amendments, and choose a final, common draft resolution.
