Established in 1907, Queen's International Affairs Association is a not-for-profit, student-led organization at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. The organization is devoted towards promoting debate, dialogue and awareness about international relations, foreign affairs and global politics. We do this through all of our initiatives! This includes our two annual conferences: the Queen's Model United Nations Invitational (QMUNi) in the Fall and the Queen's National Model United Nations Conference (QNMUN) in the Winter. QIAA also publishes the only international-relations journal on campus, the The Observer and is the home to Right of Reply, our international relations podcast. QIAA is renowned for its monthly speaker's series featuring many prominent figures of International relations and politics, as well as International Development Week, which strives to bring awareness to Canada’s role in reducing poverty on a global scale. QIAA's flagship initiative is the Queen's Model United Nations Team which competes in International Affairs and Model United Nations conferences throughout the world. Ranked in the top 25 teams in North America, the Queen's MUN Team has won numerous best delegate and best delegation awards at prestigious conferences such as the Cornell International Affairs Conference, Brown University Crisis Simulation, Princeton Interactive Crisis Simulation and the West Point Model United Nations Invitational.
