Traditional committees simulate bodies seeking to solve a single issue by writing a resolution. They generally (but not always) focus on present-day issues and address them through well-researched, negotiated solutions. These are typically some of the larger committees at a MUN conference, often involving several hundred delegates. Delegates represent countries and should consider the issues of a committee from the perspective of these countries.

At MUNUC, we have three different types of traditional committees:

• GENERAL ASSEMBLIES - Typically the largest MUNUC committees (150- 300 delegates) and cover a broad range of issues. There are 6 main GA committees:
  1. Disarmament & International Security
  2. Economic & Financial
  3. Social, Humanitarian & Cultural
  4. Special, Political & Decolonization
  5. Administrative & Budgetary
     Legal
• ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COUNCILS - Committees focusing specifically on economic, social and environmental issues. Sizes range from medium (50-100 delegates) to large (100+ delegates).
• REGIONAL BODIES - Delegates represent countries in specific region. Typically small (15-50 delegates) committees. Some are traditional; others have crisis elements.
