About

For the thirteenth year in a row Žilina Model United Nations is here for you once again. This conference will be taking place in Žilina and is organized by the students of the Bilingual secondary grammar school, T. Ružičku 3312/19.

ŽilinaMUN offers an opportunity for students to experience the world of international politics of the United Nations and simultaneously improve their debate skills, critical thinking, use of a foreign language and widen their knowledge of the world.

This year, delegates have the option to choose from six different committees, four of which will be in English (UNEP, UNICEF, UNHCR and HSC), while the remaining two (Conseil de sécurité and CESNU) will be in French. 
The English committees will discuss their respective topics for the entirety of day one and the first half of day two. During the second half of day two, these committees will unite into one – General Assembly – where they will discuss the following topic: The question of personal sovereignty in the cyberspace, until the end of the conference.

    Addressing the dangers of the Darien Gap

    About the committee

    The Darien Gap is a remote, roadless, and dangerous area of rainforest on the international border between Colombia and Panama. As it is the only "landbridge" between Northern and Southern America, it serves as an important migration route, even though it poses many dangers for those who try to cross it. Delegates will discuss how to reduce the dangers of the region.

    Topic

    Lutte contre les catastrophes environnementales liées à la pollution pétrolière

    About the committee

    La pollution pétrolière constitue l’une des menaces environnementales les plus graves pour les écosystèmes marins et côtiers, entraînant des conséquences durables sur la biodiversité, la santé humaine et les économies locales. Les marées noires, les fuites lors de l’extraction, du transport ou du stockage du pétrole, ainsi que les rejets illégaux, exacerbent les catastrophes environnementales à l’échelle mondiale. Dans ce contexte, la CESNU (ECOSOC) est appelée à examiner les mécanismes de prévention, de réponse d’urgence et de coopération internationale afin de renforcer la lutte contre les catastrophes environnementales liées à la pollution pétrolière, tout en promouvant un développement économique durable et responsable.
