Today was the last day of Bremen International Model United Nations (BRIMUN) conference, a simulation of international affairs for students, hosted by Jacobs’ own Model United Nations society. I had the pleasure to chair the North Atlantic Council, together with my colleague and friend Matthias.

After participating in 2005 as a Security Council delegate and chairing in 2006, I am looking forward to BRIMUN’s 2007 session, during which I will chair the North Atlantic Council together with my colleague Matthias Bröcheler.

We have today finalized the list of topics that “our” committee will debate and have detailed out or ideas about the crises simulations during the conference. We are hoping for fruitful discussions, a challenging geo-political crisis and, of course, a thrilling social program (a.k.a. parties).

The North Atlantic Council is the main political decision making body of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). More information on the topics and the committee can be found at www.brimun.org.

Bremen International Model United Nations (BRIMUN) is a United Nations simulation, hosted annually by the Model United Nations Society of International University Bremen.
