Where Diplomacy
Finds Its Voice
The AUBMUN Conference is the American University of Beirut's flagship Model United Nations Conference, a premier platform for the next generation of global leaders.
Rooted in Liberal Learning,
Connected to the World
The AUB Model United Nations Conference (AUBMUNC) is a student-led conference headquartered at the American University of Beirut, one of the Arab world's most prestigious institutions. Since our founding, we have brought together students from across Lebanon and the wider region through a tradition of rigorous diplomatic simulations, fostering debate, collaboration, and intellectual growth.
Rooted in AUB's charter commitment to liberal learning and civic engagement, our work mirrors the real challenges confronting the United Nations. Each resolution debated in our chambers engages issues ranging from climate security to global economic governance and international humanitarian law.
