About

Bridging Regions, Building Futures

This year regional challenges unite us all in the city of Dresden at elbMUN 2027. In the capital located in the heart of Saxony, Dresden's history is deeply intertwined with (re)building bridges across empires, industry and culture alike.

Since the 12th century the city has been at the heart of regional development, first as the capital of the electorate of Saxony, then as central actor in the holy roman empire and as a regional hub during the German industrialisation era, all the way into modern times as the future chip manufacturing hub in Europe.
Through this history of regional leadership in culture, industry and politics, the city has grown to accumulate a certain expertise in diplomacy which we aspire to transfer to you during our conference.

We proudly announce five committees as well as the International Press Corps to be part of this year’s conference.
For beginners we will host the United Nations Development Program and the United Nations Human Rights Council.

The Intermediate Committees are the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and a surprise selected by our chairs.

Last but not least, the expert committee is classically structured as the United Nations Security Council, but possibly with some twists.

While the work that you will put in the committees is an important part, some might argue that the social events at the end of each day might be at least equally important. Known for its flourishing cultural scene and nightlife, Dresden offers you a great possibility to connect with your peers outside of session. Beside following high academic standards you will furthermore be able to familiarise yourself with Dresden's cultural side on our stunning socials of elbMUN 2027!

We are looking forward seeing you at elbMUN 2027 in the beautiful city of Dresden!

Committees

1 country

The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) exists to promote and protect human rights across the globe. It examines violations, defends universal freedoms, and gives states a space to talk and cooperate on human rights concerns. If you care about human rights or international law, this is the committee for you.

1 country

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the UN’s main body for fighting poverty and building a more sustainable future. It works in around 170 countries on everything from good governance and climate resilience to recovery after crises. If you want to find practical solutions to global challenges and see how cooperation can improve people’s everyday lives, this committee is a great place to start.

1 country

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) brings together ten member states to work on regional peace, economic growth, and political cooperation. Decisions are reached by consensus, and members traditionally refrain from interfering in one another’s internal affairs, so progress depends on patient negotiation and compromise. If you enjoy diplomacy that rewards diplomatic finesse over bold confrontation, this committee will suit you well.

1 country

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is the most powerful body in the UN. It can investigate disputes, send out peacekeeping missions, and, uniquely, impose sanctions, and its resolutions are binding on all member states. With the veto power of the five permanent members shaping every outcome and the gravity of the crises on the table, this committee is a real challenge, best suited to experienced delegates.
