Letter from the Conference Secretary-General
Dear Delegates, Staff, and Attendees;
On behalf of the Model United Nations at York Secretariat, I extend a warm welcome to each and every one of you attending the YorkMUN 2026 Intercollegiate Model United Nations Conference! We are thrilled to host you at our Keele campus from November 14th through 16th.
Delegates at YorkMUN will solve precarious political issues, address humanitarian concerns, and answer the critical question of “What if..?” By debating, collaborating, and perhaps assassinating fellow delegates, you can come to a resolution that changes history forever.
We encourage you to think outside the box, to explore creative solutions to problems, and to represent yourselves, and your universities to the best
​
of your ability. Most of all, however, we ask that you have fun in our committees and socials.
Our Conference Secretariat has worked hard to ensure that YorkMUN is engaging, educational, and enjoyable, and for every single person to walk away from it having learned something new.
We look forward to seeing all of you soon, and cannot wait to see what you come up with in committee!
Warm Regards,
Adam Epstein

Committees
Over a period of 100 days in 1994, the small, land-locked, East African nation of Rwanda was decimated by a catastrophe never-before seen in the post-war age. From 7th April to 19th July, one million people were brutally murdered by their friends, neighbors, and coworkers as the world looked on in shock, horror, and relative inaction. While the United Nations debated what to do in their hallowed halls, wasting months, numerous regional nations were flooded with refugees, and Rwanda lost almost 15% of their population. This committee drops delegates 50 days into the fray. Though they cannot prevent this horrific event from transpiring, they can stop the senseless killing now, and save half a million people. Delegates will have to act quickly, think on their feet, and engage other nations diplomatically to prevent more violence, prosecute the individuals involved, and deal with the incoming regional migration crisis caused by this terrible event.

General Assembly
​On the 17th of Germinal, in Year 1 of the Revolutionary calendar, the newly established republican government of France created the Committee of Public Safety with the power to deal with the numerous crises that gripped the nation of France at the end of the 18th century. Charged with the protection of the new regime from ideological enemies both internal and external, the committee will need to oversee the nation's military defence on a continent-wide scale, stabilize a deeply indebted, starving nation, retain power across a global colonial empire, and impose a radical doctrine of progress and modernity on an essentially medieval populace. The Committee would come to be the central organ of the French state with the power over life and death.
