Banská Bystrica Model United Nations 2026

WE ARE SO BACK — MUN returns to the Heart of Slovakia!!!

BanMUN brings back the Model United Nations format to Central Slovakia as an experience for every single student in the sequential year of our unique conference. Delegates will take part in committees, prepare position papers, deliver speeches, draft joint resolutions, and negotiate real solutions to contemporary global topics. Doing this, participants practise formal debate, critical thinking, persuasive argumentation, and teamwork in both Slovak and English.

Beyond the academic programme, students will also enjoy the true MUN spirit! From dynamic networking and simulation games to creative social activities and meeting international peers. BanMUN is a space where confidence grows naturally, where curiosity is valued more than experience, and where every delegate can discover the strength of their own voice.

 

SME SPÄŤ — MUN sa vracia do srdca Slovenska!!!

BanMUN prináša formát Model United Nations späť na stredné Slovensko ako zážitok pre každého študenta v nasledujúcom ročníku našej jedinečnej konferencie. Delegáti sa budú zúčastňovať na zasadnutiach výborov, pripravovať stanoviská, prednášať prejavy, navrhovať spoločné rezolúcie a vyjednávať reálne riešenia súčasných globálnych tém. Týmto spôsobom si účastníci precvičujú formálnu diskusiu, kritické myslenie, presvedčivú argumentáciu a tímovú prácu v slovenčine aj v angličtine.

Okrem akademického programu si študenti užijú aj skutočného ducha MUNov! Od dynamického networkingu a simulačných hier až po kreatívne spoločenské aktivity a stretnutia s rovesníkmi z celého sveta. BanMUN je priestorom, kde sebavedomie rastie prirodzene, kde sa zvedavosť cení viac ako skúsenosti a kde každý delegát môže objaviť silu svojho vlastného hlasu.

    Resolving the Caribbean drug crisis

    About the committee

    The commission simulates an escalating drug crisis in the Caribbean region, linked to the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro. States, cartels, regional organizations and private companies are involved in the plot, combining organized crime, geopolitics and security destabilization. As the main theatre, USA, CARICOM and countries within their framework are accusing Venezuela of using cartels to destabilise the region and drug money to substitute their economy, while Venezuela accuses the former of intervening with their national sovereignty with the intent of gaining access to their oil and fabricating cartel problems as cause for removal of the Venezuelan government. Meanwhile, both US and Mexican governments are reconsidering their strategy towards Mexican cartels, which, even after a decade of conflict, weren't driven out of their positions within the country. Will the negotiations bring back fragile stability in the Caribbean Sea, or will the whole world be witness to a new age of piracy and anarchy in the South?

    Slovenská Občianska Vojna

    About the committee

    V dvadsiatych rokoch 21. storočia zasiahli Slovensko udalosti, ktoré jeho obyvateľov polarizovali, rozdelili a postavili proti sebe. Vplyv zahraničných mocností, rastúci radikalizmus, nacionalizmus, ideologické konflikty a politické atentáty spôsobili rozpad krajiny a vypuknutie občianskej vojny. Slovensko je dnes rozdelené medzi súperiace frakcie bojujúce o moc a budúcnosť národa. V tomto výbore sa rozhodne, kto vojnu vyhrá, kto bude niesť zodpovednosť za jej hrôzy a kto prežije pád starého Slovenska.

    The Korean Peninsula

    About the committee

    The Council simulates an escalating, total conflict on the Korean Peninsula, sparked by the sudden invasion across the 38th Parallel. Superpowers, regional actors, and covert intelligence networks are deeply entangled in the plot, combining conventional warfare, ideological subversion, and systemic destabilization. As the primary theater erupts, the United States and its Western allies accuse the Soviet Union of utilizing aggressive military expansion to spread communist influence by force, scrambling to build an unprecedented international response. Conversely, North Korea and its communist backers accuse Western imperialists of violating Korean sovereignty, fabricating border provocations to justify a permanent military foothold, and intervening to destroy the socialist state. Meanwhile, both Washington and Moscow are desperately reconsidering their strategies toward global containment and nuclear deterrence, realizing the post-WWII peace has utterly shattered. Will the urgent negotiations in this chamber restore a fragile stability to the Pacific, or will the world witness the devastating opening salvo of World War III?

    The aftermath following the assassination of Julius Caesar.

    About the committee

    The assassins expected Romans to celebrate Caesar's death. Instead, they faced hostile crowds and had to hide on the Capitoline Hill. Two days later, Mark Antony cut a deal which gave amnesty for the killers, but Caesar's acts would stay valid (Appian, Bellum Civile 2.135). At Caesar's funeral, Antony read his will, which left money to every citizen, among other things, turning the crowd violent against the murderers (Suetonius, Divus Iulius 84). They then fled Rome.

    Rozsah práva na vzdelanie

    About the committee

    Do akej miery je právo na vzdelanie absolútne, keď štáty často regulujú jeho obsah a prístup podľa vlastných ideologických či náboženských predstáv? V Afganistane sú dievčatá často vylúčené zo škôl, v Číne štát kontroluje učebnice a občiansku výchovu, a v Pásme Gazy deti často nemajú prístup k vzdelaniu kvôli konfliktom a zničenej infraštruktúre. Tieto prípady ukazujú napätie medzi univerzálnym ľudským právom a štátnou suverenitou, pričom hranica medzi legitímnou reguláciou a porušovaním práv zostáva nejasná.

    Vojna vo Vietname - začiatok roku 1968

    About the committee

    Vojna vo Vietname ktorá začala v roku 1955 bola konfliktom medzi komunistickým Severným Vietnamom a Južným Vietnamom, ktorý podporovali USA a ich spojenci. Hlavným dôvodom bola snaha o zjednotenie Vietnamu a boj medzi komunizmom a kapitalizmom počas studenej vojny. Cieľ delegátov bude spoločne prísť na riešenie konfliktu vo Vietname.
