Interests Over Order: Power, Cooperation, and the Multipolar World
CHAIR APPLICATIONS OPEN UNTIL MAY 29: https://www.cognitoforms.com/BIMUN1/Form
Welcome to the 24th edition of the Bonn International Model United Nations / Simulation Internationale des Nations Unies de Bonn conference!
Returning to Germany's primary UN hub, we are proud to continue one of the country's longest-running MUN traditions, featuring unique committees, excellent academics, and an unforgettable lineup of socials!
From the 21st to the 25th of October, BIMUN will return to Bonn's famous Diplomatenviertel, featuring five committees, a packed social program, and a unique location in a professional conference center! From multilingual committees with live translation to an exciting crisis committee to put your skills to the test, BIMUN 2026 will be a unique and unforgettable experience for delegates of all experience levels.
For beginners, the UN Development Programme will be multilingual with live translation in English, French, German, and Spanish, exploring the UN's primary body tackling global inequality. Additionally, the Food and Agricultural Organization addresses the difficult reality that in a world where headlines change every hour, food security remains the most pressing issue to billions across the globe. Intermediate delegates can look forward to unique committees, such as the Historical NATO, as understanding the many tests the Alliance has faced in the past is necessary to navigate the troubled waters of today. Meanwhile, the Chair's Choice committee allows experienced chairs to bring the spotlight to a debate that may not always receive the attention it deserves. Finally, expert delegates are invited to join our Crisis Committee, where they can immerse themselves in a real-time crisis event by representing a key character, making decisions and thinking on their feet to see what it truly means to be a world leader.
This year's theme “Interests Over Order: Power, Cooperation, and the Multipolar World” puts the spotlight on the question nearly every international organization and its diplomats must constantly ask themselves today. Over 80 years after the UN's founding, these same institutions face pressure from all sides as countries across the globe balance justice and international law with their own strategic interests. Is it worth upholding the rules-based international order if nobody else does? How can nations cooperate efficiently if they abandon the rules surrounding it? Must humanitarian aid be caught in the crossfire of geopolitical rivalries? None of these questions can be answered easily, but one thing is certain: these issues will not resolve themselves…
Chair Applications are open until May 29th!
Delegate Applications will open in mid-June.
