IceMUN 2010 Conference Information:

To all university students and high school seniors,

The IceMUN Organizing Committee is working diligently to prepare for the up-and-coming IceMUN 2010  Conference and we would like to announce the finalized topics for both conferences:
  1. The Security Council will discuss the concept of preemptive strike with specific emphasis on Iran: how is such a strike legally and morally justified?
  2. In addition, the IceMUN Council has decided to simulate ECOSOC this year. The ECOSOC simulation will discuss "The global recession as an opportunity to create a sustainable and desirable future,“ with specific emphasis on economic, social and environmental sustainable development.

The IceMUN 2009 conference date has now been set and will be held from the 4th to 7th of March in 2010, starting with a prepatory conference between 16:00-18:00 on the 4th. The  registration fees are 2,500 kr, 25€ or 25$, upon your preference, and must be paid for your registration application to be considered finalized.

The countries to be represented are at Security Council:
Permanent: China, France, Russian Federation, the United Kingdom & the United States
Non-permanent:  Austria, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Brazil, Gabon, Japan, Lebanon, Mexico, Nigeria, Turkey, Uganda
Auxiliary Members: Iran, North Korea

The countries to be represented at ECOSOC:
There are currently 54 countries in the council; we do not expect to have 54 representatives,. So we ask the participants to pick the three countries that they are interested in, which must be on different continents/regions. The current divisions of countries are: African; Asian, Eastern European; Latin American & Caribbean; and Western European & Other States. A detailed list can be found on www.un.org/en/ecosoc/about/members.shtml.
