Committees are the core unit of a Model UN conference. Each delegate is assigned to a committee, where they represent a specific country’s positions on a pressing global issue. Inside the committee room, delegates research the topic, deliver formal speeches, build coalitions with allied blocs, and negotiate the language of working papers that ultimately become resolutions. The quality of your preparation — and your ability to work with other delegates — determines how effectively you can represent your country’s interests.Documentation Index

What Committees Do
In a Model UN conference, committees are where the real work happens. Delegates receive an assigned country and topic before the conference, then arrive ready to debate. Sessions begin with roll call, move through a structured speakers list and moderated caucuses for formal debate, and open up during unmoderated caucuses for informal coalition-building and working paper drafting. Once a working paper gathers enough co-sponsors, it is submitted to the dais and reviewed for compliance with procedure before advancing to a draft resolution. Sponsors present their resolutions, the committee debates, and the body votes. Resolutions that pass represent the committee’s collective recommendations on the topic.Preparing for Committee
Strong committee performance starts well before the conference opens. Use the following steps to build a solid foundation:- Wait for your committee assignment. After LBMUN I registration closes, each delegate will be notified of their assigned committee and country. Check back on this page when assignments are released.
- Read the background guide. The dais for each committee will publish a background guide introducing the topic and the key questions delegates are expected to address. Read it carefully.
- Research your country’s UN positions. Review your assigned country’s voting history, official statements to the UN, and any treaties or agreements it has signed that relate to the topic.
- Write a position paper. Summarize your country’s stance, past actions, and proposed solutions. Position papers are typically submitted before the conference and may factor into awards consideration.
