The theme of the XXIV Annual Session of the International Model United Nations of Alkmaar will be "International Trade" Since we will be addressing International Trade during our upcoming conference, the issues will be angled towards all kinds of trade known to the world.
Trade relations are constantly changing. In today's globalized world, we are becoming more dependent on importing products from other countries and exporting products to other countries. Moreover, International Trade plays a significant role in achieving sustainable development, as the economies of developing countries are influenced by issues such as fair trade. Strengthening cooperation is therefore of great importance, in order to ensure that trade flows as smoothly, predictably and freely as possible. We will also focus on other issues central to this theme, such as modern slavery, exchanging knowledge, arms trafficking and many more. Executive Staff IMUNA 2017 The first mailing has been sent.

The Hague - MINIMUN. MINIMUN is a one-day, THIMUN-organised, conference in which students can gain experience in debating world issues in General Assembly committees as well as in the Security Council and ECOSOC.
From its small, local beginnings it now also attracts schools from other countries. The main intention of MINIMUN is to prepare students with less MUN experience by giving them the opportunity to develop and improve on their debating skills before they face the demands of larger conferences such as THIMUN. It also gives beginning chairs the opportunity to work with those more experienced, and to polish their skills. The 30th Annual Session of MINIMUN will take place on Saturday, 8 October 2016 at Gymnasium Novum, Aart van der Leeuwkade 1, 2274 KX Voorburg. 5 Sports Tips for Training Your Model UN Team.
