Dive into the heart of one of the world's most contentious geopolitical hotspots in this innovative double delegation committee on the South China Sea. Delegates will work in pairs, with one delegate representing a country, and one a corporation, to navigate complex territorial disputes, environmental challenges, and economic interests. Using interactive maps to redraw exclusive economic zones, craft sustainable practices, and forge diplomatic solutions, this committee offers an unparalleled opportunity to hone your diplomacy skills while tackling real-world issues that shape global politics and trade. So, what will it be? Cooperation or crisis?

 

This committee is rated intermediate-advanced as it is a Specialized Assembly that requires more background knowledge and hands-on work from delegates. There are very specific objectives that delegates must accomplish throughout their time in the South China Sea (determine Exclusive Economic Zones, draw accurate maps, and ensure all the rules of the committee are followed), these activities can often become tense, and require strong communication and diplomacy skills.
