April 13-15, 2012
Georgetown University Hotel and Conference Center
Washington, DC
Held annually in Washington, DC, the National University Model Arab League (NUMAL)
celebrates its 29th year in 2012. Started as an informal
demonstration simulation at Georgetown University in 1983, the NUMAL has grown
to host over 300 students from 22 colleges and universities annually in an
academic debate forum centered around issues relevant to the 22 Arab nations
that comprise the League of Arab States.
The Arab
Court of Justice will convene at the 2011 National
University Model for its seventh year. Ten states will bring their cases before the court over the
course of two days. Also, a Reporters'
Corps will be present, covering the noteworthy
events of the model in a daily newsletter.
The 2012 Agenda, Country Assignments, Hotel Information, and Schedule can be accessed through the links above and below.
The 2012 Secretariat have been appointed.
Contact your chair or other members of the Secretariat with questions, or just
to introduce yourself. If you are interested in serving as a chair in coming years, a good way to gain is experience is to apply for a chairship at a regional model that
your college attends.
