Aberystwyth Model United Nations Society

The society flag and logo

Aberystwyth Model United Nations (MUN) Society was founded in September 2002, as the United Nations Association of Aberystwyth. However, since then, the society has changed into a Model UN Society.

The Aberystwyth MUN is a debating society that operates under the United Nation’s debating rules and tasks members with debating in character as the delegation for a country where they try to represent their countries opinion on the topic under discussion; the aim of each debate being to pass a UN resolution on the topic. Some of the Topics that we have discussed include:

• Child Soldiers
• International Terrorism
• Modern Day Slavery
• Freedom of the Press

The society’s regular meetings are on Tuesdays at 6pm in the Library Seminar Room. Aber MUN Society also represents Aberystwyth University at Model United Nations conferences throughout the UK and Europe by attending such conferences as WorldMUN, LIMUN and the Cambridge MUN.

This year we are planning to hold a conference at Aberystwyth. Information on the 2009 AberMUN Conference can be found here.
