2020 ACMUN Committee Topics

Each of the committees list below have been assigned three topics.  The members of the committees will determine the order of the agenda items (committee topics) to be debated and the extent to which the agenda items (committee topics) will be debated.  It is possible, perhaps likely, that only one or two of the three agenda items (committee topics) will be debated in a committee during the conference.  Nevertheless, delegates should be prepared to debate all three topics.  Members of the UN Security Council will decide on their agenda items during the conference based on what is happening in the real world at that time.
