Dhaka University is set to host the 12th edition of the ‘Dhaka University National Shadow United Nations Conference’ from May 29 to June 1, organized by the Dhaka University Shadow United Nations Organization (DUMUNA). This year’s theme is “Rule of Law and Global Paradigm Shift: Ensuring Justice, Equality and Accountability.”
The announcement was made at a press conference held by the Dhaka University Journalists Association on May 19. DUMUNA President Naushin Fatmi emphasized the conference’s role in promoting transparency, accountability, and equal rights in an evolving global landscape.
Over 500 delegates from schools, colleges, and universities across Bangladesh—as well as participants from neighboring countries—are expected to attend the region’s largest shadow UN event. The four-day educational simulation will feature 11 committees, including six newly introduced ones such as the UN Sixth Committee, the 1540 Committee of the Security Council, and the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
DUMUNA, established in 2011, aims to develop youth leadership and global citizenship by equipping students with skills vital for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, including diplomacy, research, critical thinking, and public speaking. The event continues to be a platform for future leaders to tackle pressing global issues through informed debate and collaboration.
