General AssembliesThis year MSUMUN is proud to announce that its Senior Staffers pushed the boundaries and came up with the most innovative General Assemblies and topics yet. If contemporary issues are what motivates you, join the World Health Organization in their attempt to discuss and solve issues that just arose in the past five years. Science enthusiasts: this year we bring you two science-based committees: the Food and Agriculture Organization as well as the UN Development Programme. If you are interested in traditional UN bodies and topics, come be a delegate in the Special Political and Decolonization Committee. With these General Assemblies, MSUMUN XIX Staff are confident that there will be a committee just for you!

Specialized CommitteesThe Specialized Agencies at MSUMUN XIX host committees that MSUMUN has never seen before. This year, we are running our first ever United Nations Commission on the Status of Women discussing topics such as Women’s Political Participation. We have one business-style committee, the fictionalized 2015 Conference on Decisions on Data. This will also be MSUMUN’s first Double Delegation committee yet! If you like a traditional style committee, but with some crisis elements, that look to join Gorbachev’s Cabinet, 1989, tackling the collapse of the Soviet Union. If you are interested in any of the following regions: India, Africa, or the Middle East, then there is a committee for you! This year, we will have India’s Rajya Sabha (the parliament), the African Union, as well as the Organization for Islamic Cooperation.

Crisis CommitteesBuilding on the success and engagement produced by our crisis committees last year, MSUMUN XX’s staff are excited to present the most innovative and challenging crisis committees in our history. In these selections, we hope to ensure that every delegate, regardless of interest, will have an area which fascinates them and empower their ability to create solutions for infinitely complex problems. For those more business inclined, we suggest exploring the myth behind the mouse in Disney’s Executive Board of 1964. If one prefers more politics with their profit margins, the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and 1961 South Korean crisis committee provides a unique blend of corporate and public interests. Those interested in the lasting questions of political theory and state building should look towards our committees set in modern Bhutan or ancient Byzantium. Serving the Last Queen of Hawaii in her quest to secure autonomy will present a challenge to those who are interested by the often obscure portions of American history. Finally, MSUMUN XX will be offering its first fantasy based crisis committee as delegates debate the pressing ecological, economic, and ethical concerns of animal rights within the context of the Pokemon universe.
