Dear friends,

We are glad to inform you that the United Nations Association of Serbia is organizing for the fourth time the " BELGRADE INTERNATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS - BIMUN " in Belgrade from 25 to 29 April 2007.

BIMUN is a youth conference designed to furnish a structure and forum for students to work with the most pressing international issues from a perspective outside of the classroom, and thus broaden their awareness of the world of politics.

In this educational exercise, students take over roles of UN diplomats, represent different countries and discuss certain topics, which are on the agenda. Participants, as delegates, elaborate strategy, prepare resolutions, negotiate and resolve conflicts, following the UN procedure.

"Belgrade International Model UN – BIMUN 2007 " will feature comprehensive simulations of the following UN bodies, with focus on real-life agenda items:

• THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL

" The Risk of Nuclear Proliferation : Situation in Iran "

• GENERAL ASSEMBLY – VI Committee

"Strengthening the Role of the United Nations - Reform of the
Security Council"

• HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL

" The Rights of National Minorities in Southeastern Europe "

• UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE

"Protection of Endangered Heritage in Conflict Areas"


Students of social sciences from all over the world are invited to participate. We would particularly like to encourage students from the Southeastern European to take part in the conference in order to develop regional links and partnerships.

Eligible to take part in this event are social science students and postgraduates up to 29 years of age. The working language of the conference will be English.
