The European Union was founded in the wake of WWII as a way to unite Europe against the nationalism that had started WWII in the first place. The original European Economic Community, whose power as a customs union was heavily restricted, fell short of Winston Churchill’s vision for a United States of Europe, but soon it grew in purview with the transfer of European institutions to supranational control and the Schengen Agreement’s enforcement of open borders. Despite having its origins in 6 western European countries, it grew to 28 members with the addition of newly interested countries like Spain and the United Kingdom as well as those liberated from totalitarian regimes like Hungary and East Germany. 

 

Today, the European Union, as a political and economic organization, is proud to uphold the common values of human rights, political freedom, and economic unity, and discusses points of controversy among its members, such as migrant detention, terrorism threats, and distrust among member states. The European Union committee is designed for intermediate delegates but welcomes delegates at any experience level. Position papers, although not mandatory, are required for consideration for awards.
