Committees
In order to provide a more diverse experience for the delegates, we have decided to keep many of the traditional GA and ECOSOC committees at BMUN. Our specialized committees will give delegates a more intimate experience as well. This year, we are introducing a 5-delegate Security Council, which will be intregrated with the Crisis Simulations.

Security Council
This year, BMUN will be running a 5-person Security Council. Modeled after the United Nations, these committees will coordinate in a crisis-style debate on a single issue. Each 5-person delegation will come from a single school, so Security Council will compromise five spots on your delegate roster rather than the usual two. Due to the high-paced level of debate, we highly recommend advisors place their most advanced delegates on the Security Council.
