Welcome to the United States Senate,
Established in March 1798, it houses 100 election-hardened politicians looking to wage war. Throughout the pages of history, the one constant here is that a constructive agreement in this committee appears once in a blue moon. Though it is a legislative body, it is definitely one of the most action-packed, conflict-filled committees at SMUN.
The agenda? The infamous American Healthcare System. You, as Senators, dictate the future of the citizens of this glorious nation and amend what has long been contaminated. Watch, as speeches shatter windows and freedom dominates. Long live America!
The dust settles around the remains of the second World War. Trouble brews in China. After the last remnants of the Qing dynasty have fallen, two groups remain, seeking to govern the new country. Seeking to be the guiding light, a new hope for the people.
War at its worst seems inevitable as their ideals clash. But both are oblivious of the powers at work in the shadows.
Betrayal, assassination, genocide- it's all on the table. Welcome to the Chinese War Cabinet.
Diplomacy? Check. Controversy? Check. Consensus? Rare. Whether you’re the experienced UN committee delegate looking for something new, or a keen follower of Indian politics, you’ve set foot in the right place. Where you assume the roles of some of the biggest names in the largest democracy in the world, to discuss some of the most pressing issues in India, this committee promises to be no less exciting than a roller coaster ride. Presenting to you, the All India Political Parties Meet!
Generally convened before a parliamentary session in order to discuss matters and come to a consensus in order to utilise the parliament’s time more efficiently, an AIPPM at a MUN is a simulation consisting of delegates representing prominent figures belonging to various political parties.
This year’s AIPPM is bound to be one of the best committees at SMUN (so as to not offend other Chairs), and as questions are raised upon the status of secularism and the feasibility of delimitation in India, the debate shall know no end. Be prepared.
The Indo-Pak Crisis Cabinet is a committee convened to address the aftermath of the Pulwama Attack. It brings together key stakeholders from both nations, including political leaders, military strategists, and important ally nations, to navigate the delicate situation in the wake of the attack.
The committee's primary objective is to mitigate the risk of further escalation, prevent conflict, and seek a resolution to the crisis.
The committee is charged with navigating high-stakes diplomacy, strategic military considerations, and key intelligence operations to defuse the crisis and prevent a catastrophic escalation of tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations.
At SMUN, the International Press is a lens through which the conference comes alive. Comprising reporters and photographers, it captures the debates, decisions, and drama unfolding within the committees.
The daily publications produced by the International Press, including newsletters and photo journals, showcase each day's memorable moments.
Journalists in the International Press are responsible for crafting news articles and feature stories that provide summaries which inform readers about the progress and outcomes of the conference.
Photographers enhance these articles by documenting the event through compelling visuals. However, these images do more than decorate the pages of the press releases; they tell a story of collaboration, conflict, and resolution.
The International Press serves as a reminder that words and images have a power that can surpass boundaries and inspire positive change
