Frequently Asked Questions
The Art of Model United Nations
-
LIMUN's conferences consist of simulations of United Nations organs and other fora of international affairs, challenging young people to take on the roles of world leaders. Participants assume the mantles of national ambassadors, simulating various organs, committees and specialised agencies while seeking to resolve outstanding issues on the international agenda, from human rights to breaches of the peace.
A delegate represents the views of a single Member State of the United Nations (or of another entity depending on the committee they are a part of), researching that country's policy and advocating their stance to other delegates. In this way, participants familiarise themselves with state policy, ideas and cultures different to their own. The debate is controlled by an experienced set of Chairpersons employing thorough rules of procedure. The objective is to reach consensus and pass a statement of the international community's response to a particular area of concern.
-
The Conference aims to build an understanding of global challenges and governance amid youth that crosses borders of culture and nationality. Using the knowledge, experiences, and relationships they form at LIMUN and through other Model United Nations events, it is hoped that the next generation of world leaders will be equipped to face global issues with the spirit of international cooperation. More generally, MUN encourages the development of skills essential to all fields of study and employment, such as strong leadership, innovative thinking and public speaking, negotiation, mediation and consensus-building, and the ability to rapidly form relationships with people of different backgrounds and cultures.
-
Resources available to the delegates include: the Delegate Research Guide, the Written Documents Guide, templates for both Position Papers and Draft Resolutions, as well as the overall conference-approved Rules of Procedure (RoP).

Registration and Payment Process
-
This year we have changed our registration procedure, please make sure to familiarise yourself with the process before applying. There is a step by step guide on our website on the “Delegate Applications” page. There you can apply as an individual delegate or register your delegation.
-
The application process is simple. Head to the form linked on our “Delegate Applications” page.
If you are coming in a delegation, just one head of the delegation (either faculty advisor or a head delegate) should register the team in the first form. A registration link will be sent to the person who will share it with their delegates and other faculty advisors in order to register themselves individually. When your delegates register individually, they will be asked for their delegation code, which will be included in the confirmation email you will receive after compiling this form.
If you are an individual delegate you may skip the first step and register via the form linked under "Individual Delegates”
-
Yes, we do! Here at LIMUN we will be able to issue delegates and delegations visa sponsor letters, however this is only done upon payment confirmation. LIMUN is not liable for any visa rejections and will not tolerate any visa fraud.
-
If you are an individual delegate, you simply need to complete payment after you have been accepted to be into the allocations queue. We usually take a week or two to allocate you after payment.
If you are part of a delegation, you will need everyone in your team to complete payment before you can receive your allocations. Please note that we send your allocations directly to your head delegate and faculty advisors.
If you have not received your allocations three weeks after payment, please contact Catalina at int-affairs@limun.org.uk who will be able to retrieve your allocation.
-
Yes, although our system will primarily prompt delegates to pay for their own fees, if a delegation would like to a collective payment we can issue a collective invoice once everyone in the delegation has been accepted.
Simply email Jamie at finance@limun.org.uk with the full name and email address you would like us to send the invoice to. This can be paid via PayPal or by card.
