MODEL UNITED NATIONS OF THE FAR WEST

Model United Nations of the Far West was established in 1951 and is one of the oldest Model United Nations conferences in the world. As MUNFW embarks on its 76th Annual Session, we join the global community in honoring the enduring legacies of organizations founded to promote peace, justice, and development on an international scale.

 

The 76th Session’s theme, Overcoming Injustice: Addressing the Obstacles to Meeting the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, underscores a shared commitment to confronting global inequities and advancing inclusive, sustainable solutions. Hosted by California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt in partnership with consortium schools, this session will bring together delegates for thoughtful debate and collaboration on some of today’s most urgent international challenges.

​

The conference will feature a diverse range of committees reflecting the breadth of the United Nations system. The General Assembly will engage with foundational questions of human rights and global development. Specialized bodies such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and the United Nations Environment Assembly will address issues at the intersection of culture, sustainability, and environmental stewardship. The International Labour Organization will focus on the evolving nature of work and economic justice in a rapidly changing global economy. In addition, delegates will have the opportunity to explore international legal frameworks through the International Court of Justice, engaging with pivotal cases that shape the interpretation and application of international law.​

​

Taking place April 08-13, 2027, this year's session invites delegates, advisors, and guests to participate in a dynamic forum for dialogue and diplomacy. Join MUNFW as we work to foster critical thinking, collaborative problem-solving, and a deeper understanding of the complexities shaping our world today.
