500 students from 58 Universities nationwide --- 7 to 10 for 4 days at PKNU discussing international issues

 
△ Maeng Eon Park, President of Pukyong National University, announces the opening of the 16th Model UN Conference.

A grand conference of future diplomats started at Pukyong National University (PKNU) in Busan. PKNU (President Maeng Eon Park) held the opening ceremony of the 16th Model UN Conference at the University Theater in Daeyeon Campus at 5 P.M. on 7. 

Arranged by PKNU, hosted by the UN Association of the Republic of Korea (UNA-ROK) (President Seungyeon Kim, CEO of Hanwha Group), and sponsored by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MOFAT) and the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), 500 selected students from 58 universities nationwide participated in the event. This is the first time that the conference was held in a national university.

At the opening ceremony, Ki-moon Ban, the UN Secretary General, sent a video congratulatory message, saying “International cooperation will be the driving force that leads the world.” He also added, “I hope that young students lead the present and the future through practical acts.”

The students are representatives of countries around the world and form committees. Then they discuss the matters on 4 subjects such as terror, human rights, etc. The first committee conducts the conference on the subject “the Role of the DPRK Sanctions Committee under the UN Security Council”, the second committee on the subject “Implementation of the UN Counter-terror Strategy” in English. 

The third committee discusses the subject “Global Effort in Promoting the Right of the Disabled” and the fourth committee “International Cooperation for Achieving the Millennium Development Goals by 2015” respectively.
 On the last day, which is 10, they adopt a resolution for each committee and an outstanding delegation for each committee is awarded. The grand prize winner is given an opportunity to observe the UN Conference in New York and Geneva.
 

The Model UN Conference has been held annually since 1995 in order to attract students’ interest in international organizations such as UN, provide an opportunity to cultivate knowledge and experience on international conferences, and reinforcing the students’ ability of working in international organizations.<Translator ; Park Si Hyeong, heartfulmind@naver.com>
