Model United Nations Programs

Many universities and colleges sponsor Model UN debates each year. These debates allow students to assume the roles of UN delegates and debate key issues before the UN. Many of the schools sponsoring a Model UN develop web pages to aid the participants. These web pages can be very useful to researchers tracking UN issues. The quality and depth of the information varies from school to school.

The United Nations Association of the United States of America and the Business Council for the United Nations maintain a site that includes

• How to Form and Run a Model UN
