OUR COMMITTEES
LEGAL
The legal committee (LEGAL) is one of the six main committees of the General Assembly of the United Nations. It primarily deals with legal matters and is the primary forum for the consideration of international law. Additionally, it focuses on the development of international law to ensure justice, accountability, and cooperation among states.
As non-state actors become involved more in combat roles and security functions in contemporary warfare, it often results in operating in gray legal areas, thereby generating a lack of accountability in cases where international humanitarian laws are violated. Delegates are expected to undertake the critical task of analyzing the efficiency of the legal frameworks.
The Montreux Convention will recreate one of, if not the most crucial, treaties of modern age regarding the Bosporus and Dardanelles Straits. Following the Great War and the Turkish War of Independence, many different geological and political issues were left to be resolved, which included the two straits. The Montreux Convention held in 1936 aimed to finally resolve the issues regarding this. This committee delves deeper into the many geological discussions that don’t just affect Türkiye but rather the whole balance of power between global powers. The delegates in this committee are expected to bring a broader look at the treaty and its possible applications.
Montreux Convention
Congress of Berlin
The Congress of Berlin committee scrutinizes the situation of the Ottoman Empire and the political diversity in the Balkans. The Congress, held in the late 19th century, was a turning point in European diplomacy. Led by Otto von Bismarck, the great powers gathered in 1878 to redraw the map of the Balkans following the Russo-Turkish War. The Congress aimed to stabilize the “Sick Man of Europe,” the Ottoman Empire, while addressing fierce Balkan nationalism. The committee ensures a specialized place in order to discuss the effects of the Berlin Congress on the Balkans and the Ottoman Empire.
The Second Geneva Convention
Ladies and gentlemen, the Geneva Convention is a convention that arose from the unbelievable conflict in Cyprus, where the Greek, British, and Turkish sides clashed, resulting in nothing but savagery and problems. The public was displaced and disturbed, civilians lived in fear, and the island was split by violence and instability. The whole life in Cyprus stopped with the war. The Cyprus conflict devastated the world. This war showed that the levels of the devastating humanitarian consequences of ethnic tension, foreign intervention, and failed diplomacy.
The Council of Ministers of the USSR
As reactor No. 4 of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was taken into routine maintenance, an explosion occurred in the upper part of the reactor compartment after it was shut down. According to the director of the Chernobyl power plant, as the result of the explosion the roof and parts of the reactor compartment wall panels collapsed, as well as several roof panels of the turbine island and auxiliary systems of the reactor compartment; that was followed by the roof being caught on fire. As the Council of Ministers of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic is the highest executive and administrative organ of state authority of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics since 1946, the members of the council shall be the ones to take action in order to minimise the international damage on the political base and take control of the situation in Chernobyl.
NATO
For decades, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has relied on the United States as its primary anchor of collective security, but shifting global politics and deep domestic pressures have brought this historic alliance to a critical breaking point. This Special Committee is not being called to repeat old promises or read predictable speeches; instead, representatives are tasked with a vital mission to fundamentally re-evaluate and reshape the strategic relationship between Washington and Europe. As tensions rise on both sides of the Atlantic, the room will demand a deep understanding of international diplomacy and a willingness to confront uncomfortable geopolitical realities.
US Civil Court
This simulation will give every participant the chance to rethink how a modern business and its leaders should act. We will debate one simple question: Does a company exist only to maximize profit at any cost, or does it have a fundamental responsibility to ensure the safety of the public? While law students will learn about corporate liability and public nuisance laws, all participants will work with real evidence taken from the controversial internal emails and corporate strategies of the Sackler family in court.
UNFICYP
For all the delegates participating in this committee, chaos awaits at every corner: intense crisis updates, rapid-fire directives, political tension, and non-stop action. As the debate unfolds, delegates will be faced with surprises, shifting alliances, and intense decision-making that will keep their diplomacy, strategy, leadership, and adaptability under constant pressure. Each memo submitted and each speech given could alter the course of events, so every moment counts for the committee’s outcome. Participants should expect an immersive, fast-paced experience where quick thinking, creativity, and resilience are essential for survival. This committee fosters an environment of thrill, strategy, and chaos throughout, with unforeseen twists, a constant barrage of challenges, and fierce rivalry between delegates.
