The third edition of JunesMUN will take place in Lausanne, hosted by the teams of Mosaique and WorldMUN EPFL from 27th until 28th February. This simulation of UN committees has the pleasure to welcome 130 participants from whole Switzerland. All the member teams of JUNES have sent delegates to this great event, where students have the possibility to get prepared for the big international MUN coming in March and April.
JunesMUN 2010 reacted to the increase of participants by introducing a new committee simulation, getting to five the number of committees represented this year, namely:
- SC: Peacemaking in the democratic republic of the Congo: The MONUC mandate
- DISEC: Privatization of war: Employing and arming independent militias
- ECOFIN: Financial crises and the role of regulatory regimes for international financial flows
- LEGAL: Reconciliation and justice in societies after extreme human rights violations
- UNHRC: Children in armed conflicts
This year, the participants will have the opportunity to refresh their rules of procedure skills with a short but complete RoP preparation at 9.20 a.m. right before the opening ceremony, in order to boost the efficiency of speeches during the debates.
This first step into international diplomacy would not be complete without an outstanding social event. Indeed the delegates will have the opportunity to relax after intensive negotiations with a funky party at the Bleu Lézard.

Im Dezember 2009 wählt die Schweizerische Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Jugendverbände (SAJV) mit der Unterstützung des Departements für auswärtige Angelegenheiten (EDA) die drei Schweizer UNO-Jugenddelegierten (Youth Rep) für 2010-2011.
Seit 2003 stehen die Youth Rep der Schweizer Delegationen an diversen UNO-Konferenzen für die Mitarbeit bei jugendrelevanten Themen zur Verfügung. Sie bringen die Anliegen junger Schweizerinnen und Schweizer in die UNO ein und informieren Schweizer Jugendliche zu UNOThemen. Die Jugenddelegierten reisen jeweils einmal als Mitglied der Schweizer Delegation an eine UNO-Konferenz (z. Bsp. die UNO-Generalversammlung in New York, etc.). In der Schweiz führen sie Sensibilisierungsaktivitäten für andere Jugendliche durch. Die Tätigkeit als Youth Rep bietet jungen Menschen die Möglichkeit, die multilaterale Welt aus unmittelbarer Nähe kennen zu lernen und ihr Wissen an andere weiterzugeben: eine einmalige Gelegenheit!
