哈佛模擬聯(lián)合國(guó)(HMUN)是哈佛國(guó)際關(guān)系理事會(huì)(HIRC)舉辦的一個(gè)項(xiàng)目。HIRC 是一個(gè)非營(yíng)利性組織,旨在促進(jìn)對(duì)國(guó)際關(guān)系的認(rèn)識(shí);它也是哈佛學(xué)院最大的學(xué)生組織, 完全由本科生管理,是經(jīng)聯(lián)合國(guó)新聞部認(rèn)可的一個(gè)非政府組織。除了哈佛模擬聯(lián)合國(guó), 該理事會(huì)還包括以下項(xiàng)目:哈佛全美模擬聯(lián)合國(guó)(HNMUN)、哈佛國(guó)際評(píng)論(HIR)、 國(guó)際教育哈佛計(jì)劃(HPIE)、哈佛大學(xué)校際模擬聯(lián)合國(guó)(ICMUN)和哈佛校園國(guó)際關(guān)系(IRoC)。
Among these programs, Harvard Model United Nation is the most popular and well-known program world wide. Like HIRC, HMUN is a student-run organization at Harvard College. It is one of the oldest Model United Nations simulations in the world. It was founded in 1953,but its root can trace back to 1927 when Harvard held its first annual Model League of Nations (the predecessor of the United Nations). At present, HMUN mainly simulates four types of committees: the UN General Assembly (GA), the UN Economic and Social Council (EcoSoc),Regional Bodies, and Specialized Agencies (SA).
在所有這些項(xiàng)目中,哈佛模擬聯(lián)合國(guó)是最 流行,也是全球知名度最高的項(xiàng)目。同HIRC 一樣,HMUN也是一個(gè)由哈佛學(xué)院的學(xué)生運(yùn) 作的組織。HMUN是世界上歷史最悠久的模 擬聯(lián)合國(guó)之一。它于1953年成立,但其根源可以追溯到1927年,那一年哈佛舉辦了第一 屆年度模擬國(guó)際聯(lián)盟(聯(lián)合國(guó)的前身)?,F(xiàn)在 HMUN主要模擬四種類型的委員會(huì):聯(lián)合國(guó)大 會(huì)(GA)、聯(lián)合國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)理事會(huì)(EcoSoc)、 聯(lián)合國(guó)區(qū)域機(jī)構(gòu)和聯(lián)合國(guó)專門機(jī)構(gòu)(SA)。
Every year, students from around the world attend the conference, which is currently held in Boston, Massachusetts. During the four-day international relations simulation for high school students, student delegates gain insight into the workings of the United Nations and the dynamics of international relations by assuming the roles of UN representatives and members of other international bodies and national cabinets. Students can learn the importance of balancing national interests with the needs of the international community, while also learning about the powers and limitations of international negotiation. Delegates must preserve their countries’ national policy while negotiating in the face of other conflicting international policies. Students represent countries or famous individuals,and must work to solve problems through debate and compromise while still promoting the interests and policies of the nation or person they represent. In addition, HMUN offers opportunities for students to participate in the conference as part of the Press Corps or as a representative of an NGO.
