THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
The General Assembly includes all 193 United Nations members, placing this unique forum at the UN's deliberative, policymaking, and representative core. The GA was conceived alongside the birth of the UN under the original 1945 Charter of the UN and captures the all-encompassing spirit of multilateral discussion that motivated the formation of its parent international organization.
The GA at KenyaMUN is distinguished by well-moderated, fluid debate, passionate delegates, and the necessary intense and productive caucus to forge broad alliances to sustain innovative draft resolutions.
Some of the committees that are simulated within KMUNs events throughout the year are:
● United Nations Security Council (UNSC)
● The Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC).
● United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
● Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC)
