Motivation:I find the diplomatic world to be very intriguing.

How can one encourage dialogue and cooperation and avert withdrawal of the counterpart? To get closer to answers I joined the NMUN program.

Committee: The United Nations General Assembly Second Committee (GA2) 

Motivation: For me, NMUN is not only a way to gain insights on how international organizations like the UN work, but also a possibility to broaden my mind, experience real negotiation situations and a chance to grow (personally and within a team) by stepping out of my comfort zone.

Committee: The United Nations General Assembly Third Committee (GA3) 

Motivation: It has been my lifelong dream to become an ambassador. That is why NMUN is undoubtedly the best choice to discover what happens behind the curtain of a global organization – the huge apparatus United Nations – and to gain first-hand experiences on how to be a diplomat. Additionally, we are living in a globalized world today that is utterly intertwined and needs our all efforts to overcome obstacles and to improve our living standards. Hence, diplomacy in the international context is key.

Lorenz Karl Sommer

Studies: M. Sc. Political Science

Organizational Team:Final Report Team

Committee: Security Council (SC)

Motivation: To get to know the dynamics within the United Nations. Not just the formalities – these can be looked up easily – but the dynamics that occur when formally equal delegations negotiate, especially regarding topics when there is little common ground. Also, I’d like to know if and how smaller states can leverage the formal equality in (most of) the committees to reach their diplomatic goals, when in any other setting they’d be outflanked by bigger states.
