Thank you for your participation!

Overview

Here is an overview of each committee, its role within the United Nations, and the issues that are going to be debated in each of them, during the conference.

Before you choose your committee...

Each year, LFSMUN proposes four committees to delegates.

All of these committees have their own uniqueness; hence, there are different advantages in participating as a delegate of each of these committees.

It is highly recommended that delegates choose their committee based on their interests, and perhaps, future prospects, to ensure that they partake in an enjoyable conference.

For Delegates who do not have a particular interest in specifically one committee, the Secretariat recommends them consider the difficulty of each committee based on the classification below. However, it is important to remember that choosing a committee based on personal interest is more effective than basing the choice on difficulty. In other words, a committee that might appear beginner-friendly at first might be just as difficult as others if the Delegate is not interested in the issues it discusses. This chart is not intended to limit or restrain Delegates in their decision-making process; but rather to guide them.

Recommended to All

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) are committees open to all delegates, from first-timers to more experienced ones. These committees generally tackle issues that are more accessible and easier to approach, making them suitable for delegates with varying levels of debate experience

Recommended to Delegates with Debate experience

The Security Council (SC) and the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) are also open to all delegates. However, as they tackle more complex geopolitical and economic issues, these committees are recommended for delegates with prior debate experience. Nevertheless, first-timers seeking a more challenging debating experience are welcome to choose these committees.
