“ At Model UN , students step into the shoes of ambassadors of countries that are members of the UN . The students , better known as ‘ delegates ,’ debate current issues on the organization ’ s vast agenda . They prepare draft resolutions , plot strategy , negotiate with supporters and adversaries , resolve conflicts , and navigate the UN ’ s rules of procedure — all in the interest of resolving problems that affect the world .”
