Jakarta International Model United Nations Information

Jakarta International Model United Nations (JMUN) is the biggest and most prestigious International Model United Nations (MUN) in Indonesia which first-ever held in the capital city of the Republic of Indonesia, Jakarta, by ISAFIS (Indonesian Students Association for International Studies) in 2011. JMUN offers an opportunity to experience the challenges of international negotiation and diplomacy. In JMUN, participants will act as a diplomat from the particular country then discuss international issues like the process that occurs at a UN conference. Throughout the conference, delegates will gain insight into the workings of the United Nations by actively participating in the resolution of important global issues. The first edition of the Jakarta International MUN was held in 2011. Jakarta International MUN 2011 successfully attracted more than 300 delegates ranging from local universities to foreign universities. Jakarta International MUN 2011 has marked a new era for MUN in Indonesia. Since then, Jakarta MUN is held annually. The previous Jakarta International MUNs have successfully brought changes for youth in spreading the ideas and values of diplomacy as well as developing knowledge of the issues. This has made JMUN as an international phenomenon. Jakarta MUN itself has many programs besides the conferences, such as social events and supporting events. Jakarta International MUN participants do not only come from big cities in Indonesia, but also from various countries like USA, UK, India, New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Laos, Philippines, Thailand, Ghana and many more.
