COMMITTEES


Below you can find more information regarding the different committee types McKennaMUN X has to offer.

We also highly recommend all new and returning delegates to visit bestdelegate.com for more information, tips, and guidance on how to be the best possible delegate at any Model United Nations conference.

General Assemblies

General Assembly (GA) Committees function similar to the United Nations General Assembly, with each delegate representing an individual nation. Delegates work together over the course of the conference to pass non-binding resolutions to one or, occasionally, both topics outlined in the background guide. Examples of GA committees include: the Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC), the Economic and Financial Affairs Council (ECOFIN), and the Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee (SOCHUM)

Specialized Committees

Specialized Committees operate similar to GAs, however, are often smaller in size. Specialized Committees will either simulate smaller UN committees, or other governmental or non-governmental organizations, such as NASA, the International Telecommunications Union or the Arab League. Instead of representing an individual country, delegates may also represent individual people or companies. Specialized Committees may also utilize crisis updates and directives but will not involve crisis notes or a backroom.

Crisis Committees

Crisis Committees are the smallest committees by number of delegates, and require flexibility, quick thinking, and immense creativity. Crisis Committees can simulate anything from the colonization of Mars 50 years in the future to the Taiping Rebellion in the 1800's. Here, delegates will represent an individual character, and must be ready to respond to changing events, which take the form of "crisis updates." Instead of passing a resolution, delegates pass both individual and joint directives in order to respond to current updates, as well as the general issue of the committee at large.
