Eight committees
Each committee runs in one working language and opens two topics. Study guides are published with your assignment.
Disarmament and International Security
The largest committee and the one where procedure bites hardest. Expect long speakers lists, competing draft resolutions, and a chair who will not let an unsubstantiated claim pass.
Social, Humanitarian and Cultural
The recommended first committee. Topics are human-scale, the debate rewards clear argument over technical vocabulary, and the chairs are briefed to teach procedure as they go.
Development, finance and coordination
Where SDG 17 is not a theme but the actual mandate. Delegates who arrive with numbers — budgets, debt ratios, disbursement timetables — run this room.
Environment and climate
The committee closest to home: water security in an arid Gulf is not an abstraction here, and delegations are expected to know their own country's consumption figures.
International peace and security
Fifteen seats, the veto, and a crisis that may be updated mid-session. Applications for this committee are competitive and ask for prior conference experience.
Economic and Financial — conducted in Arabic
A full General Assembly committee run entirely in Arabic, with Arabic drafting, Arabic points of order and Arabic resolutions. Not a translation of the English room — its own agenda.
Human Rights Council — conducted in Arabic
Arabic-language human rights debate, with the procedural vocabulary taught in Arabic from the first session. Study guide and resolution templates are Arabic-first.
Partnerships — bilingual floor
The conference theme's own committee, and the only room where both languages are in use at once: you may speak in either, and the chairs summarise across. Built for first-time delegates and for anyone who wants the harder version of listening.
Getting your committee
Your school submits ranked committee preferences for the whole delegation, not one per student. Allocation then balances three things at once: the preferences, the number of experienced delegates a committee needs to function, and the working language each delegate is comfortable debating in — which is not always the language they are strongest in on paper.
The Security Council is the one exception: it is applied for individually and asks for prior conference experience, because fifteen delegates holding a veto is not the room in which to find out what a veto does.
