The Arctic Icebreaker: Washington’s Double Standards Melt Under Scrutiny
The Disarmament and International Security Committee(DISEC) erupted into a geopolitical deep freeze today as the United States found its Arctic foreign policy heavily cross-examined. While Washington has long positioned itself as the righteous guardian of the North, multiple committee members pulled back the curtain to expose a glaring double standard during recent speeches. The controversy peaked when the Delegate of the United States was actively delivering a speech that cr

UNHRC DEBATES OVER AFGHANISTAN’S WOMEN’S RIGHTS CRISIS.
he Human Rights Council chamber was anything but quiet as delegates clashed over the worsening situation for women and girls in Afghanistan. Crosstalk, note passing, and weak audio projection repeatedly disrupted the flow of debate, while several speakers struggled to clearly defend their positions on one of the committee’s most urgent crises. What emerged from the session was not just disagreement, but a clear divide over how the international community should respond. The d

ISSD: Fighting the Mafia… and Parliamentary Language
Today’s ISSD committee proved that eliminating the mafia isn’t the only challenge on the agenda. Throughout the session, delegates delivered passionate interventions, but they also managed to create a few memorable moments that the Press simply couldn’t ignore. The committee’s favourite adjective quickly became “incompetent.” It was used so frequently that, by the end of the session, it sounded less like an insult and more like official committee terminology.

UNSC hits Copy Paste
At a critical stage of discussion in the committee, it seems the delegates of the UNSC are all bark and no bite, with the same repetitive solutions appearing on the table. All the excitement from the previous day seems to have died down, much like the probability of any of their resolutions actually working. The sound of impracticality (and using WhatsApp) was like music to the delegates’ ears; from talking about using biometric technology and motion sensors to control and ch

GABI Earl punished for not rising by dancing for committee
Rising for your head presiding lord is a way of showing respect for someone who has earned a prestigious position within the ranks of the Great British Empire. Yet, there appears to be some discontent amongst the delegates of GABI, as one “Earl of Ronit” did not rise for his head presiding lord. The said lord, understandably discontent at the disrespect just shown, decided to punish the said Earl in an interesting manner. Hence, when this press delegate was in the committee,

GABI: Confidence Is Key… Apparently
The GABI committee delivered engaging debate, strong speeches, and plenty of memorable moments. Credit where it’s is due, the delegates spoke with confidence and kept the committee lively. But not every moment was so diplomatic, however. The delegate of Janu Churchill delivered a commendable speech, only to be met with… absolute silence during POIs. To add on, the quote of the session goes to William of Routange: “No comment.” Meanwhile, table tapping reached impressive leve

The Silent League: How Futuristic Arab League Replaces Diplomacy With Pure Silence
While other committees are frantically trying to save the world, the Futuristic Arab League has pioneered a bold, new diplomatic breakthrough: doing absolutely nothing at all. If you walked into the room expecting a fast-paced, futuristic crisis simulation, you would instead find a masterclass in aggressive passive. The POIs had completely disappeared as if they were some endangered species. During their speeches, they offered zero POIs, leaving the floor entirely stagnan

ISSD: Italian Substandard and Scandalous Directory
By far one of the most brazen and appalling committees of the event, the ISSD seems to be focused on playing online poker and blackjack, not realising that the stakes within their fast paced committee are higher than the cards on their computer. Apart from being heavily informal at the time of formal committee, being engrossed in cross-talk rather than their threat cycles and dancing during unmoderated caucuses, the delegates seemed to be exasperating their chairs more than

New Zealand’s Stark CommentOn Abyssinia
During a recent League of Nations session, New Zealand’s delegate sparked outrage with the comment, “If I were the UK, I would bomb Abyssinia.” The statement was widely seen as showing a troubling lack of empathy for the people of Abyssinia and for the civilians who would bear the cost of such violence. Many delegates viewed the remark as reckless and insensitive. At a time when the League is supposed to defend peace and protect human life, such language raised serious concer

USS and their never ending love for Sabrina Carpenter
USS has had one of the most crooked days ever in the process of getting things straight. Crises were taken in humour, Trump was hailed, and their reputation came escalating down in the end during the press conference. Certain delegates seemed to show a sense of disregard for formal behaviour, namely Bernie Sanders, who seems to have a slip of the tongue quite often. Apparently, the new meaning of MAGA is “Make America Gay Again”, and expletives and slang such as "lowkey" have

The United States Senate or Unspoken Scribbles and Silence?
The United States Senate began with an unexpected silence as they started with their speeches. However, massive flurry of activities under the desks were taking place. Instead of hearing powerful speeches and sharp policy debates, observers were treated to a room entirely preoccupied with scribbling secret messages. Rather than utilising POIs to drive the debate forward, the delegates chose a much quieter, far less courageous way:exchanging an endless stream of paper chits.

UNSC In Absolute Disarray
The United Nations Security Council floor dissolved into a tense, chaotic exchange today as delegates traded accusations and technical disputes over a missile strike in Pakistan. What began as a forensic debate over the origin of the arms quickly became a test of diplomatic decorum, with heated POI’s, abrupt apologies and contradictory statements punctuating the session. At the heart of the uproar was disagreement about how the missile reached Pakistan: The missiles were made

Unprofessionalism Displayed ByThe Delegates Of UNSC
The delegates of the UNSC were utterly unprofessional and rowdy, with crosstalk all around the place, using personal pronouns instead of the real delegations, being factually inaccurate, using profanity and derogatory terms, not maintaining decorum, and, to be frank, the list goes on. The Formal Committee session in general was an absolute mess; some delegates were very unprofessional in their way of conducting themselves and cross-talking while being the speaker; some of the

Artificial Intelligence Meets Artificial Diplomacy: Qatar’s New Strategy In The FAL
The Futuristic Arab League was supposed to be a platform for forward-thinking diplomacy. However, the Delegate of Qatar took the “futuristic” theme COMPLETELY literally, choosing to outsource their entire committee presence to Artificial Intelligence, until the whole room caught them red-handed. Instead of drafting original speeches, Qatar turned to AI tools like ChatGPT to generate text right from the committee floor. It was a flawless plan until the secret got out, exposin

A Crisis Of Decorum
Today’s ICA Ptolemy XIII’s regency proved that a crisis committee can produce both impressive speeches and absolute chaos at the same time. To give credit where it’s due, delegates came prepared with genuinely creative proposals. The debate showed flashes of strategic thinking, proving that the committee certainly wasn’t lacking in ideas. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for decorum.

DISEC: Where the tables speak louder than words
The beginner committee of DISEC seems to be proving the idiom “sitting on one’s hands”, seen through constant repetition of one another’s points and confusion as to what was truly going on in the committee. Alongside the appalling lack of POIs when the committee’s plan of action was to be in full swing, the delegates also seemed to reiterate their excitement over seemingly nothing by strangely enthusiastic table tapping.

The One where a Follow Request was Pending-UNHRC
UNHRC seemed to be the most united and jolly committee. From the numerous pickup lines being passed around to the unauthorized crosstalk, buzz was in the air. In such a committee, there’s bound to be some tea. Most countries were clear on the concept of humanitarian corridors, for different reasons, however. Kazakhstan wanted no-conflict zones, while Iraq wanted a route for the delivery of aid and resources. France seemed to be passionate, which is, anyway, what they’re known

Delegates hug and swear instead of actually solving problems: ICA
For a committee in a time before electricity, ICA was about as shocking as you could imagine. In a messy PSL with a sum total of 9 delegates in front of their committee(at the same time): ICA was as chaotic as it gets. One Delegate had even taken to scribbling “Cleopatra Sucks” onto their laptop. Another: Utda Punjabus III, decided to show off his linguistic skills by screaming to his entire committee “Merda means SHIT!” Other delegates took to expressing their frustrations

UNSC unleashed: Informality takes over the ROP
Yes, you heard me right. This committee never stops treating formal sessions like a school reunion after a long years of hard work, which is ironic considering the fact that many delegates are genuinely laid back and seemingly couldn't care less and are unbothered about the rest, confirmed by the delegate of Iran replying to a similar POI by saying “hell yeah!” in full confidence, which was followed by most of the room table tapping in agreement.

DISEC in disarray: the unending chaos and informality of the committee
Nothing but pure chaos and no sense of direction emerged from the brilliant minds of DISEC. Upon entering the committee, the committee ironically laughed at the press, only to become the laughingstock of the entire session. It was like being immersed in a movie, due to the nonstop table-tapping, which was overused to the point that the press couldn’t even hear their speeches.
