JIS MUN 2022
Model United Nations is an academic simulation of the
United Nations where students play the role of
delegates from different countries and attempt to solve
real world issues with the policies and perspectives of
their assigned country. Most simulations are of
committees within the United Nations, such as the
General Assembly or the Security Council, although the
largest and most innovative conferences also include a
variety of Regional Bodies and Historical or Crisis
Committees. MUN can benefit a wide variety of
students, allowing those studying international affairs to
PG 9apply what they are learning in a realistic and exciting
way. The diversity of MUN topics and committees
engages delegates from a wide variety of backgrounds
and interests, whether it is finance or public health,
current crises or historical simulations. For all
participants, MUN fosters essential skills of cooperation
and communication. Beyond the conference
experience, a MUN society can serve to foster
awareness and understanding of international affairs
within the campus community by organizing
international events, hosting club meetings, and even
simply sharing what they have learned at conferences
with their friends and classmates. JISMUN 2022 has the
theme “Global Justice and Safety for All”
