The Concordia International School Shanghai Model United Nations (''CISSMUN'') is a three-day simulation of the United Nations taking place each January〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= CISSMUN: Fostering a Generation of Global Citizens )〕 on the campus of Concordia International School Shanghai. The goal and mission of CISSMUN is to provide a venue in which students of diverse backgrounds can hone the skills of research, public speaking and negotiation while cultivating the virtues of active global citizenship and principle-centred leadership. From its inception in 2010, the conference has grown from a few dozen students (all drawn from the host school) to a gathering of over 500 high school students from around the world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= SSIS Students Attend MUN Conference in Shanghai )〕 During the conference itself, students role-play as delegates of assigned member states in the various committees of the United Nations, and work together in a formal setting to posit solutions to some of the economic, social and political problems confronting the international community. Each year, topics are chosen for the CISSMUN conference in relation to a central theme. Past CISSMUN themes include ''The Peace Imperative'', ''Responsibility to Protect'', ''Shaping our Demographic Destiny'' and, most recently, ''The Challenge of Inequality''. The theme of the 2016 conference will be ''The Information Revolution''. The CISSMUN conference is part of a constellation of Model UN conferences affiliated with The Hague International Model United Nations (THIMUN). ==Forums== CISSMUN offers participants the opportunity to serve in one of thirteen different UN forums:〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Committees and Topics )〕 *General Assembly 1st Committee (Disarmament and International Security) *General Assembly 3rd Committee (Social, Humanitarian and Cultural) *General Assembly 4th Committee (Special Political and Decolonization) *General Assembly 6th Committee (Legal) *Economic and Social Council *Human Rights Council *The Environment Commission *The Disarmament Commission *Ad Hoc Commission on Society and Governance in the Information Age *The Arctic Council *International Court of Justice *International Criminal Court *Security Council 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Concordia International School Shanghai Model United Nations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
