General Assemblies:
- Largest committees that simulate real UN bodies
- All countries are represented
- 150+ delegates
- Most realistic
Economic and Social Councils:
- Mid-sized GA styled committees that simulate national and regional bodies, as well as UN conventions
- Contains between 80-160 delegates
- Focuses on economic, social, and cultural issues
- Delegates either represent countries, ministers, or members of parliament
- Craft resolutions to pressing global issues
Crisis Committees:
- Delegates in crisis committees will not vote to discuss one topic during the conference
- Will move between these issues as the committee addresses its main crisis
- Small organizations and boards
- “Out-of-room” and “in-room”
“Out-of-room”
- This makes crisis committees unique
- Crisis notes delivered to crisis staffers
- You can create your own story line with the figures in the room (crisis arc)
- Presented during a ‘crisis update’
“In-room”
- Inside the committee (during parli-pro)
- Operates like a GA
- Still uses moderated and unmoderated caucuses
Crisis committees may seem very chaotic to a seasoned GA, but this is where you can really be creative :)
