Delegate assignments and registration details for LBMUN I are currently being finalized. This page will be updated when registration opens and assignments are released.
Who Can Attend
LBMUN I is open to students interested in Model UN from schools in the region. Delegations attend as a group under the supervision of a faculty advisor. No prior MUN experience is required — LBMUN I welcomes both newcomers and seasoned delegates alike.Before the Conference
Complete the following steps to ensure your delegation is fully prepared before LBMUN I begins.Register Your Delegation
Submit your school’s delegation through the official LBMUN I conference registration process when it opens. Your faculty advisor will coordinate this step and confirm the number of delegates attending.
Receive Your Assignment
After registration closes, each delegate will be assigned a committee and a country to represent. Review your assignment carefully — your country’s identity will shape every aspect of your preparation.
Read the Background Guide
Your committee’s dais will publish a background guide covering the assigned topic. Read it thoroughly to understand the issues at stake, the relevant history, and the key stakeholders involved.
Research Your Country's Positions
Investigate your assigned country’s official foreign policy stances on the committee topic. Look for UN voting records, government statements, and regional alliances that inform how your country would engage in debate.
Position Papers
A position paper is a written document that establishes your country’s official stance on the committee topic before the conference begins. A strong position paper covers three areas: your country’s current position on the issue, past actions your country or the UN has taken, and proposed solutions your country would support in committee. Position papers are typically submitted before the conference, reviewed by the dais, and may factor into awards consideration. Write in the voice of your country’s government — not your personal opinion — and cite credible sources such as UN documents, government websites, and reputable news outlets.During the Conference
Delegates will participate in the opening ceremony, where the Secretariat and other officers open the conference, followed by committee sessions where the core debate and negotiation take place. Within committee, delegates engage in formal debate through the speakers list and moderated caucuses, and informal negotiation during unmoderated caucuses and working paper drafting. At the closing ceremony, the dais announces committee awards recognizing delegates who demonstrated outstanding preparation, diplomatic skill, and contributions to the committee’s work.Read Conference Policies
