In the UN General Assembly, all 193 member states of the United Nations discuss pressing matters of international peace and security. At JAMUN, these committees will encompass up to 50 delegates, our largest committees. Delegates must balance their own interests with those of allies, adversaries, and the committee as a whole to successfully pass resolutions.

The Regional Bodies and Specialized Agencies represent a diverse group of international forums. The organ is comprised primarily of subcommittees of the Economic and Social Council. The Security Council takes the lead in assessing threats to international peace and responding accordingly. Our regional body, the AU, will immerse delegates in the issues of Africa. These committees are smaller, and will tackle distinct issues with a more specific focus than the General Assemblies.

Crisis
|
In the real world, situations arise that cannot be handled in the calm methodical setting of a General Assembly. An international crisis can flare up at any moment and they must be dealt with accordingly or things could get much worse. When this happens, emergency sessions take place at the highest level of government. These situation room situations are unpredictable. They force delegates and representatives to think quickly and decisively. Sometimes errors are made, or remedied, within a short time span. At JAMUN, we hope to simulate this. Crisis brings an element of excitement to a conference, especially for the delegates who get to sit in the hot seat.
