Registering for the 42nd MOAS for High Schools

 

Register:
Invitation Letter. Participants in the MOAS attend as representatives of their academic institutions. For that reason, an authority from each academic institution must prepare a letter to be sent along with the registration form. The letter must include information about the Faculty Advisor and the students that will comprise that institution’s delegation and must be emailed to [email protected].

Please complete the electronic registration form.  The deadline for registration is September 29, 2023. However, the registration process may end earlier if the 34 OAS Member States have already been assigned prior to that date.  Payments can be processed by check (if your school is in the US) or through bank transfer). Payments received after all places have been filled will be returned.

Form a delegation:
Delegations will be comprised of 6 delegates who will be distributed into 3 Committees. Upon registration you must indicate your committee assignments. Each delegation represents one of the 34 OAS Member States. Faculty Advisors select the students that will comprise the delegation/s, with enough time in advance to allow proper preparation for the Model. Students enrolled in academic areas related to Inter-American affairs or similar and those who may benefit from participating in the MOAS are usually selected by their school authorities/Faculty Advisors.

 

Registration fee:
The Model will be held at OAS Headquarters in Washington, D.C. The participation fee per delegation is US$1,200 plus $25 dollars for transfer fees (in case of bank transfers).
Payment methods are: check (for schools in the US) or ACH transfer  (direct deposit) (for school accounts in the USA).  Wire transfer (for schools outside of the US).

Country assignment:
As soon as the registration information and registration fee are received, the MOAS Coordinator informs high school authorities/faculty advisors of their respective country assignments.  Each of the 34 OAS Member States is represented by a delegation of 6 students.  Countries are assigned by the MOAS Coordinator in a geographical rotational manner; therefore, if a school/university represented a South American country one year, the next year it will represent a Caribbean, Central American or North American country. Delegations participating for the first time may attend the Model representing any of the Permanent Observer countries at the OAS. 

 

Code of Conduct:
The Model OAS General Assembly (MOAS) seeks to promote a strong sense of scholarship and leadership, as well as a commitment to the principles of honesty, fairness, respect and accountability. Participants shall commit to uphold these principles in all MOAS activities, and to promote a culture of integrity and respect for diversity.  The MOAS Code of Conduct  must be signed by both the advisor(s) and the students. It is included in the online registration form. It must be printed, signed and uploaded with the registration form.
