The conference discusses various topics through simulated UN committees, including five committees addressing global issues such as humanitarian crises and conflicts within the framework of the UN Security Council (UNSC). Other committees include: The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), focusing on the management of medical materials under international regulations, The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), exploring innovative pathways for sustainable consumption and production, The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), addressing human rights protection and promotion, and The Arab League Committee, highlighting the importance of preserving Arab heritage. The MUN simulation allows students to represent delegates from different countries, discuss global issues, and propose solutions based on each country’s policies and positions. The conference aligns with the Deanship of Student Affairs’ role in achieving the objectives of Princess Nourah University’s 2025 Strategic Plan, aiming to promote excellence in education and learning, create an environment supportive of innovation, develop 21st-century skills, and strengthen intellectual and societal influence by building bridges with local and global communities.
