FAMUN 2025
CONFERENCE THEME
FAMUN 2025 presents an innovative challenge: simulating a futuristic General Conference to reform the United Nations Charter, based on Article 109 of the organization’s founding document. In a rapidly evolving international landscape, the need to redefine the UN’s purposes and principles has never been more urgent. Addressing contemporary global crises such as climate change, growing inequality, and shifting geopolitical dynamics requires a bold reimagining of global governance. A key focus of this reform is rethinking the United Nations Security Council, which is essential to ensuring a more democratic, representative, and effective global decision-making process. Inspired by the efforts of the UN Charter Reform Coalition — a global civil society movement advocating for Member States to convene a conference to update the Charter — FAMUN 2025 invites participants not only to analyze the limitations of the current UN but also to actively shape a new model of international cooperation. Delegations will have a unique opportunity to envision and negotiate a new institutional architecture for the UN, paving the way for a more just, inclusive, and sustainable future.
