Nine committees.
Two are compulsory.

Fifteen members, binding resolutions, and the only body in the United Nations empowered to authorise force.

The Security Council carries primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. Its resolutions bind every member state, and its five permanent members hold the veto. At JTMUN XII the Council runs as a dual committee: two chambers debate the same crisis in parallel, and each must live with what the other decides.

A cabinet under pressure. Directives, not resolutions — and the situation moves whether or not you are ready.

The Global Crisis Cabinet is the fastest committee on the floor. Delegates act as a single executive body responding to a scenario that escalates in real time. Debate is compressed, directives are written and answered within the session, and every decision reshapes the crisis the cabinet faces next.

A military command room where strategy, supply, and politics are argued at the same table.

The High Command places delegates inside a theatre of operations in Eastern Europe. Portfolios carry real authority over forces and logistics, and the committee moves through joint crisis updates. Success depends as much on reading the room as on reading the map.

Thirty-five states of the Americas negotiating democracy, security, and sovereignty on their own continent.

The Organisation of American States is the principal regional forum of the Western Hemisphere. Its charter commits members to democracy, human rights, and collective security, while its debates are shaped by sharp asymmetries of power between its members. Delegates must reconcile hemispheric commitments with national interest.

The constitutional question of the subcontinent, argued by the people who actually argued it.

The All Parties Conference reconstructs the constitutional negotiations of the subcontinent, where separate electorates, provincial autonomy, and the shape of representation were fought over line by line. Delegates take the seats of historical figures and are held to their recorded positions. The committee rewards delegates who have read the period, not just the topic.

Development finance, conditional lending, and the politics of who gets funded and on what terms.

The World Bank committee handles the machinery of development finance: project lending, structural conditions, debt sustainability, and the competing priorities of borrower and creditor states. Debate here is technical and consequential — delegates are expected to argue in numbers as well as in principle.

The Third Committee of the General Assembly — human rights, and the sovereignty arguments raised against them.

SOCHUM is the Third Committee of the General Assembly, responsible for human rights, social development, and cultural questions. Every state has a vote and no resolution binds anyone, which makes persuasion the entire game. The committee is where universal principle repeatedly meets the objection of non-interference.

The Fourth Committee — decolonisation, occupation, peacekeeping, and the disputes no one else will touch.

SPECPOL is the Fourth Committee of the General Assembly. It inherits the political questions that fall outside the Security Council's agenda: self-determination, the status of non-self-governing territories, peacekeeping mandates, and long-running territorial disputes. Its debates are among the most openly political in the United Nations.

The First Committee — arms control, proliferation, and security written for every state at once.

DISEC is the First Committee of the General Assembly, handling disarmament and threats to international peace at the global level. Delegates work on proliferation, emerging weapons technologies, and arms-control regimes, building consensus text that must satisfy nuclear and non-nuclear states alike.
