Overview of Crisis Committee
Crisis is an MUN format that allows delegates to add their own touch to standard debate. The primary difference between Crisis and GA-style committees is that debate takes place on a dynamic timeline, with relevant real-world events and updates occurring in “real-time” as debate proceeds.
Delegates are also given the ability to influence the course of events through writing crisis notes, which are addressed to individuals from the delegate’s country and can trigger real-world events and actions. As a brief illustrative example, a delegate may write to his military commanders to mobilize a battalion and deploy it to a specific location. In effect, a delegate is given partial control over his country’s actions. Consequently, Crisis committees are dynamic, exciting and unpredictable, with a multitude of small crises interrupting general debate.
