General Assemblies

Hello delegates and welcome to BosMUN XI. My name is Nadia Pereira and I am your Under Secretary-General for General Assembly Committees. I am a junior at Boston University with a major in Political Science and a minor in Women’s Studies. Last year, I participated in BosMUN X as the chair of the Special Political and Decolonization Committee.  BosMUN is such a unique and memorable experience that will enrich the lives of all delegates. It gives delegates the opportunity to debate with peers, work cooperatively toward global solutions, and make friends from different states as well as different countries.

The General Assembly Committees are large committees. The size of GA committees is attributable to the fact that the GA is the main representative body of the United Nations and has representation from all 192 member states of the UN. This year, BosMUN will be running five GA Committees: Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC), Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee (SOCHUM), Special Political and Decolonization Committee (SPECPOL), UN Development Programme (UNDP), and the Peacebuilding Commission. The UN Development Programme will serve as a novice committee. This committee is designed to give delegates without previous Model United Nations experience a good first exposure to a conference with other novice delegates.

I hope you are all excited for BosMUN XI and being a part of a General Assembly Committee. Research your country’s position and know your topics well. The more work you put into researching for the conference, the more you will be prepared to debate with your fellow delegates.  Good Luck!
Sincerely,

Nadia Pereira
