IOMUN XIX took place on Sunday June 23, with students from over a dozen countries and 4 continents competing in two virtual MUN committees. In the UN Women committee, delegates debated the many challenges facing women’s rights in Afghanistan following the return to power of the Taliban, trying to advance solutions to improve the situation. In the crisis committee, students time-traveled to 2075, where a (hopefully) fictitious war between humans and robots has broken out. The students represented humans and robots and tried to avoid a catastrophic end of the world.
The conference lasted for well over three hours, as both committees built up momentum. Finally during the award ceremony at the end, their achievements were recognized. Each participant will also receive a certificate of participation. A special thanks to the Secretariat team of IOMUN XIX: Angjelina, Nevan, Sai and Ziva. IOMUN is supported by the US Embassy in Jerusalem and run by an international Secretariat of students on three continents. In addition to the virtual conferences, IOMUN runs delegations to the UN, and to Model UN conferences abroad, in partnership with Debate for Peace.
