Overview

Celebrating 40 Years of History
While tradition and formalities have kept NAMUN a household name, our delegate stories are the ones that bring NAMUN to a whole new level. Spanning a legacy of over 40 years, NAMUN continues its fight towards educating global university students on equality, human rights, internationalism and the ever-changing theatre of politics.
Our Promise, Our NAMUN
NAMUN is proudly home to many delegates and students from the University of Toronto. Throughout the years, we have cultivated international debaters, masterful policymakers, but most importantly, leaders of tomorrow. Proudly hosted by the University of Toronto, our staff and leadership board consist of next-generation student leaders who strive to perfect the ever-changing craft of public speaking and problem solving through international crises and geopolitical policymaking. From renewed perspectives of the General Assemblies to law and order within the International Court of Justice, NAMUN has got you covered.
