The LUMS Model United Nations Society (LUMUN) participated in the 25th edition of the Harvard WorldMUN conference held in Rome, Italy - the most prestigious of its kind in the world - and managed to secure 6 Best Delegate awards and 2 Honourable Mention awards.
This year, LUMUN sent an eight-member delegation participating in pairs in four separate organs of the UN: the Security Council, the Human Rights Council, the World Conference on Women and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. The LUMUN delegation, having prepared rigorously since early November 2015, managed to secure 6 Best Delegate awards and 2 Honourable Mention awards.
Zain Mumtaz Peracha, President, The LUMUN Society said, “We are incredibly proud to see each and every one of our participants contribute to the growing list of accolades by LUMS students and societies. In lieu of its excellent performance over the past six years, LUMUN is in a stronger position to reclaim its aspirations of the Best Small Delegation award. This year, the team came second in running for the title, losing out to Claremont McKenna College (CA, USA) by only one award.”
