Mission Statement

“Never in our lifetime has there been a more desperate need for constructive and committed dialogue, among individuals, among communities, among cultures, among and between nations.”


The purpose of Model United Nations Illinois is to create an atmosphere in which delegates are exposed to the international issues of today. Through diplomatic discussion, debate, and parliamentary sessions, delegates interact with one another to reach consensus and draft resolutions with the aim of improving our world. As citizens of our global community, we all have a responsibility to collaborate with others and improve the conditions of the world. Model United Nations Illinois is a forum in which such cooperation is both fostered and encouraged.
