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 the topic outlined in the background guide.

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.
