MODEL YOUTH UNITED NATIONS MEET

YUN is an educational cum role modelling simulation of United Nations functioning that
aims to educate students on practical grounds about the current events, topics of international importance and the United Nations agenda. The participants act as the
Delegates of different countries participating in a session of a UN organ/committee, such
as United Nations Security Council or Human Rights Council. In YUN participants are
allotted a country to be represented and required to do research work on the country
allotted to them in totality, take on their responsibilities, investigate the international
issues, debate upon them, consult with other ‘delegates’ and attempt to bring forth
solutions to the world problems. In this process the participants and the executives along
with the chief guests and the heads of the YUN event receive awards for their hard work.
In the present event of YUN, the session of UN General Assembly, UN Security Council and
UN Human Rights Council are decided to be convened. Agenda concerned to these bodies
are enumerated under the head “Agenda” of the brochure.

Invitees to this event are undergraduate students of Law, Political Science, History and
Economics from all over India and expected to participate and deliberate on sensitive
global issues requiring cerebral exercise.

democracy should be reflected in its true sense. They will adhere to the fair and free manner
of reflecting the real meaning of democracy:

1. By providing the chance to speak about a topic freely: for and against it,
2. By providing agenda selection as per the need of time,
3. By not interrupting anyone while speaking and letting them express their opinion
freely without any coercion.
4. By letting the executive to be good listeners and interrupt only when needed or
required to make agendas to go up like and for attendance as well as summarizing
the session wise or the complete manner,
5. By letting the majority be made to give chance to minorities to express their opinion
in totality with any injustice.
