46 YEARS OF CACMUN
ABOUT CACMUN
Cairo American College's Model United Nations club provides an enriching forum for students to discuss the different perspectives on current international issues. The club meets to practice debate procedures, resolution writing, and to learn about assigned countries and issues.
CAC has been known to host a three-day long conference (CACMUN) which features six committees, and a plenary experience: the General Assembly Commissions on Disarmament and International Security (DISC), Human Rights Council (HRC), the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). However, CACMUN has developed and evolved with every conference we have had, and has seen so much growth over the years. At CACMUN 46, the number of committees has doubled, with the addition of the African Union, the League of Nations Security Council, the newly-introduced SPECPOL as well as the Environmental Committee (EVC), and a double delegation Security Council (SC) along with an International Court of Justice (ICJ).
CACMUN is student-led, as a team of student officers (the Secretariat), as well as committee chairs, are key to organizing the conference. CACMUN is affiliated with The Hague International Model United Nations, the largest high school MUN in the world.​
CAC not only follows THIMUN procedure, but we also attend the conference annually. This year we went with 15 delegates split between 2 delegations; The Philippines and UNESCO.
Since 1978
46 years of CACMUN
In 1978, Mrs. Barbara Johnson founded CACMUN. Amazed at the international body of students at Cairo American College, she saw potential. 46 years later, CACMUN continues to embrace its international community. While times were certainly different in 1978, the delegates and leaders of both past and present have all shared in a common desire, to make the world a better place. Whether it is a discussion of human rights in East Germany or the current war in Ukraine, CACMUN has always been a conference of today's issues and will continue to be a forum for young diplomats.
