The following Committees will be role-played at GEMUN 2027:

Please note that the order of precedence of the topics listed beneath the name of each committee is not indicated by the order in which they are listed. All topics are equally deserving of the attention of the committees. It makes the debate MUCH more interesting if all topics are covered. (There have been times where half or most of the resolutions submitted are on the same topic, and after one or two of these resolutions are debated, the others receive little interest from the committee.) Try to make your resolution an interesting and creative solution.
