The Model OAS General Assembly (MOAS) for students is a simulation of the OAS General Assemblies, where students represent the Member States through role-playing. The MOAS’ main purpose is to familiarize the students with the OAS and its role as a hemispheric forum where its Member States debate important issues related to political, economic, social, and security matters affecting the hemisphere. Through their participation in this exercise the students gain awareness of the role that diplomacy and negotiations play in reaching consensus on hemispheric issues.
Participation in the 23rd MOAS is open to students from the Dominican Republic and other countries of the hemisphere. This model assembly is very beneficial and rewarding for students of political science, international relations, international law, Latin American and Caribbean studies, diplomacy, international business, government and history. General information regarding the MOAS can be found on the OAS web page http://www.oas.org/main/english/; go to the “Outreach” icon and click on “Model Assemblies.” A web page with specific information on the 23rd MOAS, both in Spanish and English, will be available soon.
