The assembly received official status in 2015, when the first AIM Charter were ratified by member states. Amendment to the charter in 2019 significantly altered the authority and responsibility of the assembly.
The General Assembly held a special session to commemorate the 9th anniversary of the AIM on 11 July 2020. The special session was attended by 12 delegates representing 11 member states. The session was notable as it was the first AIM assembly meeting when delegates had a face-to-face meeting.

Multiple delegates
A member state could have more than one delegate in the General Assembly. It is permissible as there are no laws or resolutions prohibiting member state to have multiple delegates. Some member states even encouraging multiple delegation since they could interact with more individuals, and to enrich the debate quality of the assembly.
As convention, votes inside the General Assembly are based on countries instead of individuals, thus a member state could not manipulate General Assembly votes by delegating more representatives to the assembly.
Throughout AIM history, it is a rarity for a member state to have multiple delegates. Member state with the largest number of delegates ever were Indokistan, with total of 4 delegates, until 2016.
