The Peruvian Debate Society (PDS) is an inter-collegiate student debating association headquartered in Lima, Peru, aimed to promote debate and discussion on current national and international issues in order to form leading citizens who contribute to development by competing in Model United Nations (MUN) conferences globally. Since its foundation in 2014, their participation at national and international level has yielded multiple awards, consistently being ranked as the best Model UN team in the nation and one of the top international debate teams in the world.{{cite news|title=Conoce a los peruanos expertos en debatir que ganan competencias internacionales|url= https://elcomercio.pe/somos/historias/conoce-peruanos-expertos-debatir-ganan-competencias-internacionales-noticia-605096|date=7 February 2019|accessdate=7 April 2025|language=es}}
In the 2017–2018 debating season, PDS achieved for the first time the Best Large Delegation award at Harvard World Model United Nations 2018 held in Panama City, Panama, being the second Peruvian MUN team in achieving such international recognition.{{cite web|title=Peruvian Debate Society: campeones del mundo|url=https://cosas.pe/cultura/119262/peruvian-debate-society-campeones-del-mundo/|accessdate=7 April 2025|date=14 May 2018|website=Revista Cosas|language=es}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.up.edu.pe/prensa/noticias/seis-estudiantes-de-la-up-triunfan-en-el-harvard-mun|title=Seis estudiantes de la UP triunfan en el Harvard MUN|website=Universidad del Pacífico|date=22 May 2018|accessdate=7 April 2025|language=es}}{{Cite web|title=Alumnos Ulima integran equipo ganador del Harvard World MUN|url=https://www.ulima.edu.pe/la-universidad/noticias/alumnos-ulima-integran-equipo-ganador-del-harvard-world-mun|last=|first=|date=6 April 2018|website=Universidad de Lima|language=es|accessdate=7 April 2025}} The following season, the team achieved the Outstanding Large Delegation Award at the same conference, held in this occasion at Madrid, Spain.{{Cite web|url=http://www.ulima.edu.pe/departamento/relaciones-internacionales/noticias/alumnos-ulima-ganan-harvard-worldmun-por-segundo|title=Alumnos Ulima ganan Harvard WorldMUN por segundo año consecutivo|website=Universidad de Lima|date=11 April 2019|accessdate=7 April 2025|language=es}}

Governance
The Peruvian Debate Society was constituted as a non-profit civil association for the promotion of education in Peru, in 2017. As an organization, it is composed by Associates, which in turn make-up the General Assembly, presided by a Board of Directors (composed of four elected associates).
The current Board of Directors is led by Joaquín Mejía Cacho, former Delegate (2017–2019), Faculty Advisor (2020–2022), and Deputy Chairman (2023–2024).
The PDS civil association is formally established under an official Constitution Act and Statute, to which every associate is subject to its rules and standing orders.
