Crisis Sensitivity

Crisis committees are non-traditional committees which cover specific historical and political events. Due to the nature of crisis committees, delegates hold allocations with powerful roles for the respective time period and have far more creative freedom in their directives. Delegates participating in these committees must therefore act with caution, since these committees address sensitive political and historical issues.

The sensitivity statement applies throughout the entire committee. To maintain a safe and respectful environment, VCMUN will not accept or tolerate motions or directives entertaining biological warfare, drug use that targets a specific population, slavery, human-trafficking, and sex-trafficking or violence against any ethnicity, race, religion, or identity. Further guidelines are enumerated in the background guides of each committee.

We also discourage assassination attempts on other allocations during the first day of committee. Ask your Chair or CD if you are concerned about your arcs or directives.
