Cairo International Model United Nations (CIMUN) is a collegiate level Model United Nations organisation that is based in Cairo, Egypt. The CIMUN program is the oldest student activity on the American University in Cairo (AUC) campus and is currently recognised as one of the largest inter-collegiate Model United Nations programs outside of North America. It is well known for its annual conference in March. ==History== It was founded in 1989 by a group of AUC students under the guidance of the Provost of AUC, Professor Earl Tim Sullivan, during his time as a professor in the department of political science. A fund was made in 2005 in honour of Nadia Younes, under which a conference and meeting room for the support of the Model United Nations was created. Since 2007, several elite high school students have been chosen by merit to join the conference. This has led to the expansion of the model from modelling only one UN council to now eight councils:〔Makary, Adam (Daily News Egypt - CAIRO MODEL UN INAUGURATES ITS 19TH SESSION )〕 the Security Council, HRC, ICJ, ECOSOC, Interpol, UNDP, UNODC, and UN Women . In 2010, CIMUN won the Outstanding Delegation Award while at the National Model United Nations Conference in New York. While this is the second time the group has won the award, this time is considered more important because the group was representing their own country, Egypt. CIMUN won the outstanding delegation award in all the following years. That means they won the award for six consecutive years along with multiple honorable mentions. 〔 ("AUC Students Win Outstanding Delegation Award at the National Model United Nations" - The American University in Cairo )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cairo International Model United Nations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
