Notes:
GA Plenary will not meet during the week with its own agenda. It will only meet the last day to consider resolutions and reports from appropriate
committees. The order for debate will be posted the night before at NMUN. Delegations may choose who is present – likely head delegates or the delegates originally present in the committee discussion. We plan to again use UN facilities for final sessions; it is possible space may be limited due to renovations.
FAO, APEC, and PBC write reports; ICC passes judgments; ATT writes a treaty. All other committees write resolutions. – See Background Guides for details.
Because of high interest, NMUN-NY simulates two Security Councils. One is comprised of schools assigned to the member states on the council (see matrix). The additional council (SCB) is by separate application. A school assigned to Security Council B will be a different country in the rest of the simulation. |
