MIC Wins Most Awards at the Ninth Model United Nations Conference at AISM
The ninth annual Model United Nations (MUN) Conference, organized by the American International School of Mozambique (AISM), was held from March 29 to 30, 2025. The event saw participation from six prominent schools: the American International School of Mozambique, Aga Khan Academy Matola, Maputo International College (MIC), Maputo International School, Birkirk International School, and Trichardt School.
The conference featured five committees, each tasked with addressing global issues: the General Assembly, the Human Rights Council, the DISEC Committee, the Security Council, and the League of Nations. The topics discussed in each committee were as follows:
General Assembly: Addressing the current state of radiation in Chernobyl and across Europe, and the situation in the Philippines.
Human Rights Council: Discussing actions taken during the Bangladeshi genocide and the humanitarian violations during the Bosnian genocide.
DISEC Committee: Debating nuclear armament of nuclear-weapon states and the use of satellites as a threat to international security.
Security Council: Examining the access to goods in western Berlin and efforts to alleviate tensions surrounding the Korean War.
League of Nations: Focusing on the armed conflict in eastern Manchuria and the tensions surrounding the Spanish Civil War.
The first day of the conference was dedicated to delegates presenting speeches on their respective countries' positions on various issues. Each country expressed its stance on different topics, either in support or opposition. On the second day, delegates engaged in lobbying for their resolutions, followed by intense debates and interpellations. By the third day, resolutions were debated, refined, and ultimately approved by each committee.
The final day concluded with the awarding ceremony, where certificates were presented to all participating students, along with the First and Second Honorable Mentions and Best Delegate awards. Maputo International College (MIC) stood out by winning the majority of awards, a testament to the hard work and dedication of its delegates. The awardees from MIC were:
