The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO)
|
What Is it?NATO is a political and military alliance that brings together 28 countries in Europe and North America to achieve its core tasks; collective defense, crisis management, and cooperative security, as manifested in the Washington Treaty. A 'NATO decision' is always considered to be an expression by all members of the alliance as it is reached upon by consensus.
NATO promotes democratic values through cooperation and consultation, and is committed to using military means where diplomacy has failed. |

Kieran is a recent graduate from the University of Reading and he’s co-chairing NATO for ReadiMUN 2017! While he never really had the opportunity to do Model United Nations in secondary or ‘high’ school, as all they really had was debate society; coming to Reading and joining the MUN society was his first real experience of MUN and he fell in love with it more or less instantly. The three years in the society were where he met many wonderful people from all walks of life, many of whom are now his best friends. He also had a lot of fun researching and learning about new topics both as a delegate and chairing society sessions, developed my speaking and organisational skills considerably, and gained a wider worldview that he appreciates to this day. He’s been to a few conferences as a delegate, but this is his first-time chairing, and he’s a little nervous! Aside from Model UN he really loves books (Pratchett in particular), music and travelling. He really looks forward to coming back to his old university and seeing what the Secretariat have done with the society! |
Adam is a second-year economics student at the University of Kent. He has been involved in MUNs for the past five years. Aside from being a delegate, during this time, he has served as a head-delegate as well as a member of the organising committee for his school’s MUN conference. At Reading MUN 2017, he hopes to build on these experiences as a chair and to use them to help the delegates in his committee to develop as delegates and to allow them to have an enjoyable experience. Outside of MUNs, Adam is an aspiring pilot who wants to make his childhood dream come true and an avid landscape photographer who enjoys shooting both digital and 35mm film. |
