During the meeting, participants simulated —in Spanish and English— the negotiations carried out at the UN Committees.
The event took place in Puebla (Mexico), where university students and schoolchildren from different educational entities around the world participated.
Likewise, USIL won the Best Small Delegation award due to its effective knowledge deployment, debate, as well as arguments about economic, political, cultural, and social issues affecting different societies worldwide.
Also, they won this recognition at the Harvard National Model United Nations-Latin America (HNMUN-LA) held at the USIL campus in Lima in 2019.
The USIL team was made up of five students: Diego Ninanya, Arantza Renteria, Santiago Wong, Maria Caballero, Gabriel Bejares, and graduate Jose Ludeña.
It is worth to mention that they took on roles as delegates using different tools learned at the faculty.
In addition, Maria Caballero and Diego Ninanya received the Honorable Mention in the SOCHUM Committee in HNMUN-LA 2020, while Santiago Wong received the Best Delegate distinction for his brilliant participation in the committee of General Assembly-Emergency Special Sessions 1979.
