MUNA is a simulation of the United Nations Assembly, where student teams representing various countries meet and debate their issues of interest with the final aim of drafting a written UN resolution.

MUNA aims at creating awareness among youth about the functioning of the United Nations as well as give them insight into the issues being discussed globally. Now in its 10th year, MUNA will go national, with entries invited from major cities across the country.

“The MUNA gives students a great exposure to the functioning of the UN and international issues. Moreover, because they have to represent different countries they learn to see each issue from other perspectives,” said MUNA’s Secretary General KS Nikhil Kumar.

Among the topics that will feature this year include the Moon Treaty, economic ramifications of tobacco control, prevention of terrorism, Darfur crisis and migrant workers’ rights.

Delegates from each team will have to research on the domestic and foreign policies regarding these topics in each country to represent that country’s position.
