Committees
For this year’s edition of MISMUN, we have chosen seven committees and agendas that are relevant to the present times and current affairs. Each simulation is designed to provide delegates and journalists with an enthralling and engaging experience.
OPEC
Agenda : To discuss the ongoing Oil Crisis in the Middle East, in light of the recent Yom Kippur War and to mitigate its causes and immediate impact with special emphasis on the political and economic consequences.
OPEC
OPEC is an organization enabling the cooperation of leading oil-producing countries to collectively influence the global oil market and maximize profit. The 1973 Oil crisis is one of history's most severe oil crises, on October 6, 1973, the Yom Kippur War, which broke out between Israel and the Arab nations led by Egypt and Syria. OPEC, then, used oil as a weapon, in response to the conflict and the support of the West to Israel, aiming to exert pressure on the West and achieve its political goals. This caused initial shock and the rapid escalation of oil prices, which quadrupled, causing widespread economic turmoil.
INTERPOL
Agenda : Addressing the American invasion of Iraq, emphasising state accountability for creating instability and jeopardising the lives of civilians.
INTERPOL
INTERPOL aims to promote police cooperation among member states to combat international crime. The 2003 American invasion of Iraq, led by the Bush administration, was a highly controversial event marked by claims of imminent threats from alleged weapons of mass destruction. The failure to find weapons of mass destruction led to criticisms that the invasion was driven more by strategic interests than genuine security concerns. The action was viewed as a continuation of U.S. dominance in the Middle East, disregarding international law and multilateral diplomacy.
IWC
Agenda : Discussing the intervention of India in the East and West Pakistan conflict.
IWC
IWC centers on the Bangladesh Liberation War, a pivotal conflict that reshaped South Asia in 1971. In this high-stakes committee, delegates will unite under a shared mission: to represent the Indian government and its unwavering support for the Mukti Bahini, the Bangladeshi independence forces. Together, they will strategize to defeat Pakistan and secure Bangladesh's independence. This committee will be particularly dynamic, with the Secretariat throwing unexpected crises at delegates, reflecting the unpredictable and intense nature of the war.
Caricature
International Press
Political caricatures, or cartoons, are without doubt the most eye- catching part of newspapers, magazines, etc. The job of a cartoonist is to appeal to a larger audience of people who may not have understood the political discussion itself.
Caricature
A caricature in a Model United nation refers to a simplified or exaggerated representation of a particular country, leader, or situation in international diplomacy. Caricatures are generally to highlight or mock the actions, policies, or positions of an UN member state or its representative instead of serving as official documents. The primary task of caracaturists is to create satirical and exaggerated pieces or form descriptions of key figures or issues. Caricaturists tend to use their skills to depict the personalities and actions of delegates in a playful manner so as to appeal to the humor of citizens while simultaneously informing them about events taking place in the conference.
Journalism
International Press
Journalism is essential and illimitable. Today’s world is shaped by the constant,
tumultuous flow of information, with journalism at its rationalised centre. This the assignees
must remember as they write on their committees.
Journalism
Journalism in our modern world has become prevalent and of importance due to many reasons, due to the shaping of our world by the constant, tumultuous flow of information with journalism at its center. and the ongoing debates between the ‘rights’ and the essential ‘wrongs’ in the worldly spectrum. Journalism becomes essential for unbiased, factual and contextualized news that provides the truth to the readers so that they are exposed to the realities of the situation the said article is written about and can make their own decisions accordingly. The welfare of the readers is of utmost importance and becomes our priority as members of the International Press, and most importantly as journalists.
Photography
International Press. Photography is a versatile medium used for artistic expression, documentation, communication, and much more. The Photography division within the International Press offers photographers an avenue to immerse themselves.
Photography
The International Press Photography Committee captures the heart of MISMUN through impactful images. Photographers document key moments, bringing the event to life visually, and tell the unique stories of each committee. Making photographs is what constitutes photography, not merely clicking them. A picture is the fundamental truth; words or opinions cannot alter it. Photography plays a vital role in MISMUN, offering a visual narrative that complements the conference’s discussions. Through their lenses, they highlight the diversity, energy, and the very spirit of MISMUN, creating a lasting visual record that showcases the contributions of all participants. Being observant and always prepared is the key to producing unbiased and truthful photojournalism.
