模擬聯合國（Model United Nations，縮寫作MUN或Model UN，漢語常簡稱為模聯）是一種模擬聯合國大會的學術模仿活動。旨在教育其參與者當前時事、熱點、國際關係、外交和聯合國大會流程。其參與者扮演一個國家或非政府組織派出的外交代表，參與模擬聯合國的委員會會議。與會者將研究一個國家的國情，並且扮演外交官參與國際問題的研究、磋商與辯論，最後制定針對該議題的解決方案[1]。近來，也會模擬其他議事機構，如聯合國安全理事會的內容也被安排進其中[2]。

參與者包括從初中生到研究生期間的年齡段[1]。模擬聯合國涉及研究、公開演講、辯論和寫作，並且經常伴隨着批判性思維、團隊協作和領導能力[3] 截止2012年，全球已經召開了至少400次模擬聯合國大會[1]。

歷史[編輯]

模擬聯合國會議的第一個示例是在模擬國際聯盟會議[2]。第一個有記錄的「模擬國際聯盟」在1927年的哈佛大學舉辦[4]。1946年，隨着國際聯盟的解散，而聯合國建立了[5]。次年，「模擬國際聯盟大會」也轉變為「模擬聯合國大會」。在1980年代，為協調和跟蹤模擬聯合國在全球的發展水平，美利堅合眾國模擬聯合國協會（英語：United Nations Association of the United States of America）（United Nations Association of the United States of America，UNA-USA）成立了[2]。

第一屆模擬聯合國大會一直是一個有爭議的問題。The MUN Project（LfhED）之處，第一屆模擬聯合國大會在1951年的哈佛大學舉辦[6] ，而Bese Delegate則認為1952年的伯克利模擬聯合國大會是第一屆[7]。

Conference[編輯]

Procedures[編輯]

In order to maintain decorum, MUN committees have rules of procedure to guide the procedures of the committee. Since there is no governing body for MUNs, each conference differs in the rules of procedure. Some conferences may directly adapt the UN rules of procedure while others adapt the Robert's Rules of Order.[8] Following rules of procedure applies to general MUNs but may not apply to every MUN:

MUNs are run by a group of a administrators known as the Dais. A Dais is headed by a Secretary-General. Each committee usually has a chair (also known as moderator), a member of the Dais that enforces the rules of procedure. A delegate may request the committee as a whole to perform a particular action; this is known as a motion. Documents aiming to address the issue of the committee are known as resolutions and are voted for ratification.[9]

MUN committees can be divided into three general sessions: formal debate, moderated caucus, and unmoderated caucus. In a Formal Debate, the staff maintains a list of speakers and the delegates follow the order written on the 'speaker list.' Speakers may be added to the speaker list by raising their placards or sending a note to the chair. During this time, delegates talk to the entire committee. They make speeches, answer questions, and debate on resolutions and amendments. If there are no other motions, the committee goes back to formal debate by default. There is usually a time limit. In a Moderated Caucus, the committee goes into a recess and the rules of procedure are suspended. Anyone may speak if recognized by the Chair. A vote on a motion is necessary to go into a moderated caucus. There is a comparatively shorter time limit per speech. In an Unmoderated Caucus, the delegates informally meet with other delegates and the staff for discussions[8][10]

Resolutions are the basis of all debate.[11] They are considered the final results of conversations, writings, and negotiations. Resolutions must go through a draft, approval by the dais, and consequent debate and modification.[12]

Languages[編輯]

Model United Nation conferences are always held in the English language[13]

Committees[編輯]

The committees are usually of the six committees of the General Assembly, but may also include the Economic and Social Council(ECOSOC) and the Economic and Financial Committee.[2] Other committees include:[14]

Many conferences simulate other IGOs including:

A special committee that does not have a parallel in the actual United Nations which deals with a crisis is known as a 'Crisis Committee.'[4] In this committee, a crisis is given to a team of students and the teams must come up with solutions.[15] The Crisis Committee focuses on a single historical event. The event may be fictional or non-fictional.[4]

Organization[編輯]

MUNs are usually organized by high school clubs or college clubs.[1] Organizations that coordinate MUNs such as the United Nations Association of the United States of America (UNA-USA) are considered important organizing forces.[2]

The United Nations hosts a site called the UN Cyberschoolbus which contains general information about MUNs such as: advice for researching papers for MUNs, starting MUN conferences, and methods to help finding MUNs. The program also has an international Internet forum in which participants can share information.[16] Organizations such as the Osgood Center for International Studies[17] have aided in the creation of MUNs.
