DanMUN 2009 is now open for applications!

[Morten Thulstrup]

Dear Madam/Sir,

On behalf of the organising board of Danish Model United Nations, it
is our utmost pleasure to invite you to the fourth conference by the
DanMUN society. The conference will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark,
from the 12 - 17 October, 2008, where we aim to bring together
students from all over the World.

Building on the successes from previous years, we are looking to make
this year's DanMUN an even greater experience for our participants.
The Conference will have the Security Council as its turning point,
with Afghanistan as the topic for discussion. During the program of
six days; we will offer the participants an opportunity to attain
vital information about our crisis scenario, through several lectures
and debates with Danish experts.

The Security Council will be summoned in order to address the need to
define the contours of a comprehensive strategy for Afghanistan.

While the country has made progress in certain areas, there are
considerable challenges remaining on most front's -- particularly in
the political, security, governance and development spheres. The
deterioration of the security situation in Afghanistan is worrying, as
the increase in civilian casualties has fuelled public discontent
against foreign forces. The slow and uneven pace of reconstruction
and development efforts, the absence of State authority throughout the
country, widespread corruption and economic hardship are the
challenges facing the UN-mandated International Security Assistance
Force present there.

The ambition will be to establish common grounds between the members
of the Council, in order to work towards a future solution to the
benefit of the overall stability in Afghanistan.

In order to register and partake in this year's conference go to
www.danmun.org and fill out our application form.

Participants will be chosen, based on the quality of their
application!

Essential information regarding DanMUN 2008 can be found on our
website. However, schedules, delegations and topics for discussion
will be posted at a date closer to the conference and e-mailed to the
chosen participants.

The participation fee for the entire conference, including social
events, lectures, and most meals during the week is 80 EURO.

On behalf of the DanMUN organisation, we hope to be able to welcome
you in Copenhagen in October.


Sincerely yours,



The DanMUN Board
