VMUN 2026 features twenty unique committees that address a variety of topics that are relevant and contentious in today’s world. Whether delegates seek the thrill of debating in an accessible General Assembly, a more specialized Intermediate Agency, a distinctive Regional Council, or a dynamic Crisis Committee, they are bound to find a committee that appeals to their interests. Some committees are well-suited for the MUN veteran, and some for the first-time participant. More information, including topic summaries and committee sizes, can be found on each committee’s page, linked below.

Position papers are mandatory for delegates in advanced committees. Delegates in beginner and intermediate committees are highly recommended to submit position papers and must do so in order to be considered for awards. House of Commons delegates will be required to submit Private Member’s Resolutions. For more information regarding these documents, please see our Resources page and consult the background guide of the specific committee. Position papers are due by January 12th, 2026, at 23:59 PST.
