MDMUN 2022

The Creative Development Association is inviting you to MDMUN 2022, between October 25 — 29 in Chișinău, Republic of Moldova, in an OFFLINE format.

This is a unique chance to experience the role of high-ranking diplomats, representing their country within the most important international structure – the United Nations.

Moldova Model United Nations, known as the MDMUN, is an extracurricular conference whose purpose is educating about the activity of the United Nations. Acting as representatives of a country, international agency or a political or social entity, you will participate in debates, individual case studies, and documentation on current geopolitics, environmental protection, human rights, economy, security, society, culture and many more.

Accommodation and meals for the whole period of the project will be covered by the organizers for all participants (local and international). Transportation costs from other regions of Moldova to Chișinău will also be covered upon presenting proof of payment.

This year, the session will consist of four committees:

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)
-Refugee Management in African Host Countries and the Prevention of Human Trafficking 
-Assisting host countries in sustainable economic integration programs for medium and long-term refugees

United Nations Security Council (UNSC)
-Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and the Future of the Two-State Solution
-Reforming the Responsibility to Protect Doctrine

Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC)
-Creating a framework for preventing and combating arms trafficking in fragile areas
-Limits and ethics to information gathering, espionage and intelligence

World Food Programme (WFP)
-Food Security in Conflict Zones
-Capacity-building and asset creation in hunger-endangered areas

As representatives of the countries assigned to you, your responsibility will be to document yourself properly and extensively, going beyond the general information that will be provided to you in the study guides. Thus, using this knowledge, you will contribute to lobbying activities, debates, and meetings, representing the position and interests of the countries that delegated you. Finally, our expectation is that you will reach a consensus embodied in the resolutions that will be forwarded to the Chairs of your committees. Each committee will be composed of 15 delegations, each delegation having one member representing one country.
