JOINT CRISIS COMMITTEE (JCC)

The Joint Committee Crisis will delve into the Yom Kippur War of 1973, a pivotal event in the Middle East conflict, an intricate web of geopolitical complexities unfolds, capturing the hearts and minds of nations involved. The conflict not only reshaped geopolitical dynamics but also marked a significant turning point in regional history. This crisis simulation centres on the events frozen in time on October 6, 1973. Within this turmoil, Israel, Egypt, and Syria dance on the heights of conflict, each with strategic concerns and historical burdens. The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) stand resolute and face crucial decisions that could redefine the nation's destiny. A swift counterattack in Sinai, fortifying the Golan Heights against Syrian advances, or the diplomatic pathways of seeking peace through international channels – these choices, like pieces of puzzle, weave the narrative of Israel's survival. Egyptians must weigh the strategic imperative of advancing into the Sinai Peninsula, secure supply lines for offensive sustainability, and engage in diplomatic efforts to convey intentions and garner international support. The Syrian Armed Forces may plan to intensify the assault on the Golan Heights, coordinating with Egyptian forces for a unified front, while also proposing a ceasefire and engaging in diplomatic negotiations through international mediators. Yet, the drama extends beyond the immediate actors as emotions surge, across the borders. The Middle East draws the focus of non-aligned nations, each nurturing a longing for a global harmony untouched by the shadow of war. In the heart of this simulation lies not just the clash of armies but the collision of ideologies, alliances, and aspirations. It is a canvas painted with the hues of intellect and emotion, where each stroke shapes the destiny of nations and the course of history itself. As the thaw beckons, participants stand by the edge, ready to breathe life into this symphony of decisions keeping in mind the momentous past. Come and join us for an incredible and thrilling experience at AMIMUN'24! The dates of the conferences are 19th, 20th and 21st January, 2024.
