DAIMUN an intricately woven tapestry of global issues, ethics and ideals. According to the United Nations Charter, The United Nations is “a centre for harmonising the actions of nations”. DAIMUN strives to uphold this same standard of excellence and to thus continue this noble intention. A truly committed delegate will always leave the conference with a further enhanced sense of confidence, a greater comprehension of our world as an integral whole and sharpened debating skills.
