Model UN, European Union, OAS, and NATO
American Model United Nations Headquarters
A simulation of the United Nations General Assembly and related multilateral bodies for high school- and university-level students worldwide.
Model General Assembly of the Organization of American States
A simulation of the real OAS General Assembly in which the students "represent" the OAS Member States, and advocate the interests and policies of their assigned countries.
The WMOAS is a collaborative effort between the OAS and the Institute for Diplomatic Dialogue in the Americas (IDDA) which is a legally incorporated entity, with status as a civil society organization with the OAS. The WMOAS is actively supported by the OAS Office of the Assistant Secretary General and has been endorsed in a Resolution of the OAS itself. This unique collaboration allows students unprecedented access to the OAS and its member state missions.
