Web. 10 Jan. 2010. == History == The Southern Ontario Model United Nations Assembly (SOMA) is the oldest and largest Model United Nations simulation run entirely by high-schools students in North America. Founded in 1973, as a partnership between students at Port Credit Secondary School and the University of Toronto Schools (UTS), the organization was intended to be a dynamic replacement for the Toronto Assembly, an older Model UN that had suffered from a lack of leadership. The annual conference has run continuously since attracting students around the world to attend the conference, which is currently held at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Ontario. The current session of SOMA is the 44th session. SOMA offers committees in 5 categories * The General Assembly * Humanitarian, Economic and Social Committees, such as the United Nations Economic and Social Council * Regional Bodies, such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations * Historical Crisis Committees, such as Sino-Indian War * French committees, where delegates participate in bilingual debate 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「Southern Ontario Model United Nations Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
