In the UN General Assembly, all 193 member states of the United Nations discuss pressing matters of international peace and security. At AMUN, these committees will encompass up to 80 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 WHO and Human Rights Council take the lead in assessing threats to global health and human rights, and respond accordingly. World Bank and the Special Session on the World Drug Problem similarly tackle matters on an expansive scale. Our regional bodies, European Council and Organization for Islamic Cooperation, will immerse delegates in the issues of a single geographic region. These committees are small to medium sized, and will tackle distinct issues with a more specific focus than the General Assemblies.

Crisis committees are known for their unique debate style. They afford delegates the opportunity to engage with topics in a more imaginative and spontaneous atmosphere. Delegates must respond quickly and effectively to crises, each one playing a critical role in the resolution for the broader conflict. Because crisis committees move quickly and are small in size, they create intimate, lively discussion. To get more information please refer to this guide to crisis developed by our amazing BCA Crisis team. A special shout-out to Michelle Surets, Derek Lin, and their dedicated chairs Laurence, Aaron, and Billy for pulling this guide together!!
