LSEMUN 2026 Committees
Crisis Committee (Beginner)
Shattered Stripes: The American Civil War of 2029
A high-intensity miltiary crisis committee set in the volatile aftermath of the 2028 US presidential elections. As political divisions harden and institutional trust collapses, delegates must navigate constitutional breakdown, federal–state confrontation, and escalating civil unrest, all while attempting to prevent the slide into open conflict. Power is fragile, rhetoric is dangerous, and every decision risks tipping the nation from political crisis into irreversible violence.
​
This Committee is suitable for delegates looking to try out a Crisis Committee and have no prior experience, although interest / and the topic should always take first priority.
​
Crisis Committee (Intermediate)
The Streets of Petrograd: The Russian Revolution of 1917
An intermediate crisis committee set amid the collapsing authority of the Russian Provisional Government and the rapid rise of revolutionary forces. As food shortages, mass unrest, and military mutinies grip the capital, delegates must navigate competing ideologies, fragile alliances, and the constant threat of violence, balancing revolutionary ambition against the risk of total state collapse. Decisions taken in the streets of Petrograd will determine whether Russia is reshaped through controlled political transformation or consumed by chaos.​
This Committee is suitable for delegates who have prior crisis experience, although interest in historical committees / and the topic should always take first priority.
​
European Union: Council and Parliament Simulation
The EU Foreign Interference Act: Promoting Transparency and Resilience in Democratic and Economic Processes
A joint simulation of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union operating under the ordinary legislative procedure. Set against growing concerns over foreign influence, disinformation, and economic coercion, delegates must negotiate complex legislation that safeguards democratic institutions while preserving fundamental rights, market openness, and Member State sovereignty. Success will depend on balancing political accountability with legal precision, managing inter-institutional tensions, and consensus across diverse national and ideological interests in an increasingly contested geopolitical environment.​
This Committee is suitable for delegates interested in European politics, as well as a legislative commiteee that has not been introduced before in the UK circuit.

UN General Assembly
Drafting a UN Strategy to Address the Emergence of Sixth-Generation Warfare
A beginner-friendly General Assembly simulation designed to introduce delegates to multilateral diplomacy in a contemporary security context. Participants will collaboratively debate and draft a UN strategy addressing the political, ethical, and security implications of rapidly evolving sixth-generation warfare technologies, balancing innovation with international law, global stability, and collective security.
This Committee is suitable for any beginner or intermediate delegate looking to simulate the most traditional form of MUN - with a twist, featuring double delegations. To apply to this Committee, please ensure that at least two of you from the same delegation apply together on myMUN, or the Secretariat will pair you up with someone should you be interested.
House of Commons
European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill - The Brexit Deal in 2019
The simulation is during one of the most consequential parliamentary debates in modern British history. As the government seeks to secure approval for the Withdrawal Agreement, delegates will grapple with deep political division, party discipline, constitutional precedent, and the balance between parliamentary sovereignty and the referendum mandate. Success will depend on persuasive debate, strategic negotiation, and the ability to navigate a fragmented Commons where every vote carries historic weight.
​
This Committee is suitable for delegates interested in domestic politics in the United Kingdom, and the House of Commons Parliamentary procedure. As this is a historical committee, it will also benefit anyone seeking to understand the state of British-European relations in the current age.

Maritime Delimitation and Territorial Questions between Qatar and Bahrain (Qatar v. Bahrain) 2001

The case centres on competing claims over islands, low-tide elevations, and maritime boundaries in the Gulf, requiring careful interpretation of historical agreements, effectivités, and the principles of international maritime law.
