Types of Committees at McMUN
General Assemblies
We are proud to announce that we host three General Assembly (GA) committees at McMUN each year. They range from around 150 to 320 delegates, making them the largest committee category at our conference. The GAs are organized around three sustainable development goals to remind delegates that the topics they will be debating are real and pressing issues facing the international community today. Delegates are expected to craft resolutions composed of innovative solutions that the United Nations should implement, while adhering to their respective country’s policy.
Economic and Social Councils
The Economic and Social Council designation (ECOSOCs) refers to the second largest committees at McMUN. They range from around 45 to 75 delegates and are structured identically to the General Assemblies. However, they deal with more niche policy issues and often are set in the context of smaller committees at the United Nations.
Specialized Committees
Specialized Committees (SPECs) at McMUN challenge delegates to engage in innovative and unique committee experiences. Participants are tasked with constructing resolutions and crafting policy whilst also interacting with integrated crisis elements, specialized rules of procedure, and/or the incorporated bilingualism in our French Bilingual committee.
Crises
Our Crisis committees at McMUN are the smallest, most fast-paced, immersive, and often most competitive sessions at the conference. Delegates will have to constantly react to issues facing their committee with creativity while at the same time advancing their own position within it. In addition to six diverse historical and fictitious crises, we will also be hosting two Joint Crisis Committees this year.
