Letter from the Secretary General
It is with immense pleasure and abundant enthusiasm that I invite you all to the 17th annual Oasis International School Model United Nations (OISMUN) that will be held in October 2024 at the Oasis International School campus in Cairo, Egypt. OISMUN proudly holds the distinction of being the first bilingual conference in Egypt, featuring committees in both English and French, and is affiliated with The Hague International Model United Nations (THIMUN), a prestigious leader in the large MUN community. OISMUN is equally the first sustainable and eco-friendly conference in the country. This dedication to environmental awareness has culminated into a major affiliation with MUN Impact in 2021, allowing us to further commit to global sustainability efforts.
OISMUN, which will be held in October of 2024, is set to happily welcome participants from all over the world. The conference will provide all participants with a unique platform to delve into international relations, global politics and diplomacy, all while engaging in passionate debates, fruitful discussions, and inspirational negotiations.
This year’s conference will be extremely special in terms of debate, as we’ve chosen a theme that will allow delegates to discuss the needs of our current world, and find realistic solutions to the pressing global issues at hand. With that being said, our theme for this year’s conference is “Navigating a fractured diplomatic climate through the foundation of a shared framework, promoting a unified, prosperous, equitable and interdependent vision of the future”.
Our delegates will be given the chance to enthusiastically debate in a wide range of committees, as OISMUN 17 will be simulating 8 English committees: The International Court of Justice, The General Assembly of the United Nations, The Security Council, The Human Rights Council, The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crimes, The Commission of the Status of Women, The Economic and Social Council and this year’s newest addition The Sustainable Development Commission. Moreover, participants will have the opportunity to participate in 2 French committees: Le conseil de Sécurité and Le Conseil des Droits de l’Homme.
It is necessary to nurture the future leaders of the world, which is why OISMUN also offers younger delegates (aged 11-13 years old) to participate in 3 Junior Committees: The General Assembly Junior Committee, The Security Council Junior Committee, and finally, Le Conseil des Droits de l’Homme Junior. We are certain that the participation of the younger generation will pave the way for a brighter, and a more equitable future.
Joining OISMUN will not only be of benefit to you academically, but it will also increase your knowledge regarding worldwide contingencies, allow you to acquire necessary skills, such as public speaking and argumentation, and most importantly connect you with a diverse community of like minded people, creating long lasting friendships and memories.

On behalf of the entire OISMUN Team, I look forward to welcoming you in October, in Cairo!
