Get to know the winners of
FAMUN 2025 Charter Reform Challenge!
Congratulations to all the amazing participants who shared their vision for a reformed UN Charter! Your creativity and commitment made this challenge unforgettable.
Colégio Politec won 1st place in the Charter Reform Challenge! Their video discussed how the United Nations was founded in 1945 and aimed at keeping global security and cooperation. However, in 80 years, very few changes have been made, and the original Charter no longer meets current needs. The Charter reform must happen now and a new council, focused on technology, is an urgent need.
Colégio Salesiano São José Sorocaba secured 2nd place in the Charter Reform Challenge! Their video briefly contextualized the world we live in since the drafting of the UN Charter in 1945, emphasizing how crises of all kinds, alongside social and political changes and global events, demand swift responses from the international community. Their proposal is to establish a Charter Review Board to update the UN foundational document from time to time, with broad engagement of civil society, especially youth.
Múltiplo International School secured 3rd place in the Charter Reform Challenge! Their video highlights how the UN Charter, written in 1945 to prevent wars between States, no longer addresses today’s urgent challenges where threats to human dignity often arise from within borders. The proposal put forward bold reforms: recognizing human security, limiting the use of the veto in humanitarian crises, and creating a Human Rights Protection Mechanism to act when states fail their own people.
