The group is not affiliated with the United Nations. it is a group whose membership comes together, simulating the United Nations committees model to address whatever crisis it chooses to address during it's conference. The Chicago conference is one of the hundreds groups, probably thousands, worldwide that are organized as either a conference, a class (like a semester class) or club. They are usually secondary or college students, but not always, for these groups can be primary or not students at all.

Cody accurately stated that he and Jef were speaking at the CIMUN conference in Chicago. He hash tagged unitednations. He is right for the conference is about problem solving using the United Nations model.

Jef stated they were speaking at an United Nations event ... Well, it's just flat out isn't and, intentional or not, this isn't Jef's first faux pas.

I liked Jef for Emily when I first read about him. After listening to him, I liked him more and more, until diminishing returns set in. Jef probably should have stopped talking because I (and I am sure, others) now have time to pay attention and seems as much of what comes out of his mouth amounts to nothing less than total crap.

Thanks for the link ... and able to find what I was looking for and, thus, didn't include in my previous posts, in that People Water inappropriately used the official UN Emblem and not the Chicago club emblem logo in their advertising itself as a sponsor of the Chicago Model UN conference. Not surprised, and just one more example, I guess this week's version, of a Jef untruth.

Official Note to MUNs
The use of the UN emblem

Model UNs (“MUNs”) cannot use the United Nations emblem in the unmodified form. This is because the use of the UN emblem and name, as well as any abbreviations thereof, is reserved for the official purposes of the United Nations in accordance with General Assembly resolution 92(1) of 7 December 1946.

With respect to MUNs organised by or affiliated with academic institutions, the use of a modified version of the UN emblem, i.e., with the words "United Nations" or "UN" set above the emblem, and the words "We Believe" or "Our Hope for Mankind" set below the emblem, has been authorised on a case-by-case basis. Such modified UN emblem makes it clear that no official use of the emblem is involved and that the UN emblem is being reproduced as a demonstration of support for the United Nations. Therefore, if any MUN wishes to use a modified version of the UN emblem, it would have to seek the UN's prior written permission to do so. Any such requests should be addressed to Education Outreach, Outreach Division, DPI in the first instance, and should include details on how, when and where the modified UN emblem would be used.

"The group is not affiliated with the United Nations."
