About VISMUN I
Welcome to the VIS Model United Nations Conference!
VISMUN I is the inaugural session of VISMUN, a student-led Model United Nations conference dedicated to fostering diplomacy, critical thinking, and global awareness among young leaders. As a first edition conference, VISMUN I emphasizes quality over scale, providing delegates with an immersive, engaging committee experience.
This conference will be held on 3/28-3/29, 2026. Over the course of two days, delegates will engage in rigorous debate under the theme “Discrimination against migrants and immigrants.” As globalization, conflict, and climate change reshape migration patterns worldwide, the international community faces urgent questions about equity, protection, and accountability.
At VISMUN I, we aim to create a dynamic simulation of the United Nations—an environment where students refine their research, public speaking, negotiation, and diplomacy skills while representing their assigned Member States. Delegates will collaborate, draft resolutions, and confront the complex balance between national sovereignty and universal human rights. It is our great honor to invite students in Grades 6–12 across Taiwan to participate in this landmark first session of VISMUN.
Looking forward to seeing all of you!
VISMUN I Committee:
UNHRC / Discrimination Against Migrants and Immigrants
Discrimination against migrants and immigrants is a continuing global human rights issue, affecting individuals regardless of legal status. People who move across borders, whether for work, safety, education, or family, often encounter unequal treatment. This can include difficulties finding fair employment, limited access to healthcare or education, poor housing conditions, or even hostility and xenophobia. Language barriers and lack of social connections can intensify these challenges.
International frameworks under the UN, such as the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families (ICRMW), play a significant role in protecting human rights. They establish standards for protecting migrants’ rights, though implementation and effectiveness vary among Member States. In addition, rising migration flows driven by conflict, economic disparity, climate change, and political instability have worsened debates on national sovereignty and social cohesion.
