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. This year, we are running our first ever fictional General Assembly: The Superhuman Technologies and Resource Conference, or STARC, looking at how to deal with international issues in the Marvel Universe. 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 CommitteesThis year MSUMUN put forth a call for more diversity in committee topics and our senior staffers delivered. This year, we are running two business oriented crises: the British East India Company and Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers. In addition, we have reached in to the depths of historical obscurity to bring you the Sikh Empire. For those delegates democratically inclined, they will be excited to join the Umbrella Movement, Hong Kong's nascent pro-democracy movement, or the post-revolutionary government of the Republic of Bolivia. If pomp and circumstance is what you seek, the court of Reza Shah is just for you. If none of those caught your eye, the world's sole successful slave revolt may: the Haitian Revolution!
