What is Model United Nations?
The Model United Nations is an annual conference for high school students who come together to caucus, negotiate, debate, support and pass resolutions to solve global issues. It is a simulation of the United Nations where students play the role of UN delegates representing countries assigned to them.
Purpose of AXMUN
Today, more than ever, the world is confronted by a range of problems that threaten to undo all the progress that humankind has made till today. Poverty, Inequality, Climate Change, Gender Discrimination, Racial Discrimination and other such vices are integral problems of the world that humanity as a whole must learn to overcome. As such, the purpose of AXMUN is to inspire young minds to dedicate themselves to the service of their community and to the service of humanity. AXMUN will force students to not only understand, but to solve the various pressing issues in the world today. Through research, debates, discussions, and forums, students will learn from each other how they can constructively work together to solve the problems of their fellow human beings, and secure a better future for those in need. This is the overarching goal and purpose of AXMUN.

Functioning of AXMUN
- Each participating student is assigned a specific country he/she will represent and will, from then on, be referred to as the 'delegate' of the respective country in a particular forum of the United Nations.
- Delegates have to do thorough research on the countries and topics assigned to them so that they can faithfully represent their country's policies during the conference. For example, a delegate, representing India in the Human Rights Committee has to have a good idea of India's foreign policy as well as good knowledge about the issues to be debated in the Security Council.Human Rights Committee.
- All delegates have to come prepared with an Opening Speech and/or a Foreign Policy. After the opening speech, delegates in each committee will caucus/negotiate to formulate their resolutions on the issues to be debated. During this time, draft resolutions will be written and merged to come up with one or two final resolutions which will be submitted to Committee Chairs. These resolutions will be debated in the respective forums and voted upon. If the resolution passes, it becomes a UN resolution that member countries are expected to adhere to.
- This is the general structure of a Model United Nations Conference. For further details, please review this Conference Manual.
