Welcome
Welcome to MUNSA XIV, the largest high school Model United Nations conference held in the western United States. MUNSA is hosted by The International School of the Americas, a magnet school in the North East Independent School District.
MUNSA XIV will be held at the San Antonio Municipal Auditorium located at 100 Auditorium Circle, San Antonio, Texas. Receptions will be held at El Tropicano Hotel, located at 100 Lexington Avenue.
Mission statement
Model United Nations San Antonio is a non-profit, student run organization that seeks to create a dynamic learning opportunity for students from the San Antonio area, the state of Texas, the United States of America, and Mexico. As a simulation, MUNSA strives to offer a forum in which academic, leadership, and interpersonal skills combine and lead students in discussions on our world's most pressing problems.
MUNSA XIV: Origins
To celebrate the fourteenth year of Model United Nations San Antonio,
the theme of MUNSA XIV will be Origins. The term Origins refers to
Woodrow Wilsons Fourteenth Point:
14. A general association of nations must be formed under specific covenants
for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence and
territorial integrity to great and small states alike.
This statement, initially leading to the League of Nations, has formed the
basis for continued international cooperation and peace. It is from this
fourteenth goal that the United Nations was born.
In the tradition of Woodrow Wilson, of the League of Nations, and of the
United Nations, MUNSA XIV will strive to embody the ideals of this most
influential suggestion in every way. We will strive to learn from the past
while stepping bravely into the future.
