Joint Crisis

The Joint Crisis Committee consists of two independently running subcommittees whose decisions and actions immediately affect the perpetual crisis at hand, thus providing for an experience like no other. It’s established to fight against a threat that can very quickly become a global conflict. Crisis Committees provide a unique experience by allowing for real-time decision-making and adaptation to emerging crises. Instead of one resolution, committees pass multiple directives in response to an evolving crisis. Directives are short documents that describe what has happened during the debate time regarding the crisis that is being discussed, and present a solution for it.

In BAMUN XVII, the Joint Crisis Committee will be divided into the G-20 and the Arab League subcommittees, which will debate the same topic at the same time, but in different chambers, each of them trying to pursue their personal goals and ensure peace for the world's population simultaneously. Because both subcommittees function concurrently, the decisions that one of them makes, or perhaps doesn't make, will immediately affect the other subcommittee. If the bloc as a whole is to succeed, the delegates must compromise, negotiate, and persevere in an contest of diplomatic cleverness. The alternative is catastrophe and a bleak future.
