Ad Hoc Committee

Advanced Level

Being MEDMUN's most advanced committee, the Ad Hoc Committee aims to bring the most experienced delegates together for a demanding but rewarding 3 days at Menton. A crisis committee in its essence, Ad Hoc delegates are only informed of the topic and their assigned positions at the beginning of the conference, making everything much more surprising and challenging. Since prior preparation and topic-specific research is impossible for this committee, we encourage the most qualified and experienced delegates to apply. Get ready for a committee full of surprises! (And hint terror!)

Crisis - Persian-Greek War

It's 480 BC and, due to Persia's remaining desire to conquer all of Greece, the Second Persian invasion has just begun. The Persians have passed the Thermopylae, slaughtering the defending Spartan troops. The Pan-Hellenic coalition, guided by Athens and Sparta, must decide how to defend Attica and the Isthmus, while Xeroxes and its satraps* continue their advance towards Athens. The fate of history is about to be decided.

*provincial governor in the ancient Persian empire.

Crisis - Filling the vacuum in Iran

After the death of Mahsa Amini protests have been going on and off. Following cycles of mass protests and severe repression putting a temporary halt to uprising until a new incident reignites the fire of indignation and revolution. On June 3, 2024, 35 years after the death of Ruhollah Khomeini, supreme leader Ali Khamenei is announced dead although the causes of his death remain unclear. This event puts Iran into a power vacuum. Different factions try to take control of the country. The army, political officials, student protestors all struggle to control the country whilst American and Russian secret services try to influence this power struggle in their favour. Will liberal democracy prevail or will Iran maintain its struggle with authoritarianism?

La crise du courant du golf

Novembre 2043, soit dans 20 ans. En quelques jours, le Gulf Stream, un puissant courant océanique de l'Atlantique Nord, s'arrête en raison d’un changement de température dû à la fonte des glaces dans le couloir arctique entre le Groenland et le Canada. Ce courant, qui maintenait l'Europe relativement tempéré en hiver, n'alimente plus le continent, et le mercure baisse rapidement. Les médias des pays occidentaux proclament l’avènement d’une nouvelle ère glaciaire, et une grande partie de la population d'Europe du Nord, paniquée, décide d'immigrer dans certains pays de la région MENA. De ce chaos deux camps sont créés : Comité européen : D’un côté, les représentants des pays européens touchés par cette baisse des températures, devront faire des compromis entre leur désire de mettre toute leur population à l’abris, de trouver une solution à cette crise, de sauvegarder leur indépendance, autorité et une paix diplomatique relative. Ils pourront même envisager une solution « néo-colonialiste » à leurs problèmes : imposer leur présence par la force. Comité MENA : De l’autre côté de la Méditerranée, les pays « d’accueil » de ces « réfugiés climatique ». Eux aussi débattrons entre éthique et survie : qui devront-ils acceptés ? Tout le monde ou quelques-uns seulement ? Comment réagiront-ils à la possible menace d’une colonisation 2.0 ?

International Press Forum

The International Press Forum isn’t like other MUN committees… Each delegate here is assigned a global press organisation to represent, rather than a country. This gives us the chance for our imaginations to run rife, picking and choosing which issues represented within the MUN conference align with our own interests, and take a journalistic (and, perhaps, provocative) stance on issues which spark their creativity and passion. While in the past, other MUNs have often elected to go with more traditional media outlets – such as the BBC, Reuters or CNN – in our committee, we’re hoping to expand into a few more ‘nice’ areas… Members are encouraged to conduct thorough research into each of the organisations, understanding not only their traditional political stance, but also individual economic interests, the concentrations of personalities in the background of the media (…ahem… Murdoch), and how these might influence reporting in both overt and covert ways…
