General Assemblies
The General Assembly encompasses all 193 Members of the United Nations, posing this unique forum at the deliberative, policy making, and representative core of the UN. Established under the original 1945 Charter of the UN, the GA was conceived alongside the birth of the UN and captures the all-encompassing spirit of multilateral discussion that motivated the formation of its parent international organization.
At HMUN, General Assembly committees are the largest committees at 100 to 400 delegates each. Delegates will certainly sharpen their negotiation and diplomacy skills both inside and outside of the committee room.
