About the conference

Three Brunel Law students - Dale Maw, Melissa Harrichand and Justin Zinda - participated in The European International Model United Nations (TEIMUN) conference in the summer of 2009. TEIMUN is a yearly conference held in The Hague (Netherlands) for university students from all over the globe and it is one of the oldest Models United Nations (MUN's). Justin Zinda finds participating in the week long TEIMUN conference a very valuable experience. It gives the opportunity for students to learn a lot about the way international organisations, such as the UN, work and what it is like to represent a country and to defend its foreign policy at an international scene with competing interests. To learn more about TEIMUN, you may wish to watch the following two videos produced by Justin Zinda:
