Beginners Committee: DISEC Double Delegation
This year, RCMUN will run a beginner’s simulation in order to teach Model United Nation’s unique parliamentary procedure to inexperienced delegates. Designed with a hands-on teaching approach, this committee gives new delegates a partner to work with and will feature temporary suspensions of the rules during committee in order to explain parliamentary procedure. Despite the slower pace than other General Assembly committees, the Disarmament and International Security Committee will still feature engaging debate, covering such topics as the regulation of UAVs, and the international small arms trade.

Nelson Mandela's Cabinet, 1995
My fellow South Africans, today we are entering a new era for our country and its people. Today we celebrate not the victory of a party, but a victory for all the people of South Africa.” One year after the end of apartheid and the first fully representative democratic election, the nation is still recovering from decades of inequality. Apartheid brought forth immense socioeconomic inequality and poverty. Disparities in wealth and services, such as electricity, sanitation, clean water, and education, between black and white communities were extreme. Thousands of talented young South Africans are leaving the country, bringing forth brain drain. Those that committed heinous acts during apartheid have yet to be brought to justice. As members of Nelson Mandela’s cabinet, it is up to you to mold this new democracy.

Gutted Greenery: The State of the United
States Forests

Crisis
The Abdication of the Dragon King: Bhutan, 2006
The fourth Druk Gyal of Bhutan--meaning Dragon King--has just stepped down from his throne willingly, leading to mass national shock and mourning. It is the only time in history a monarch has voluntarily abdicated. He gave the throne to his eldest son and slashed the king's power, mandating that the crown prince and his advisors create a parliamentary government to move the great Kingdom of Bhutan into modernity. The former king wanted a more internationally open Bhutan, which had been closed to the outside world since its inception, hidden away high in the Himalayas. Having only opened to tourism in 1974, the land-locked nation is not accustomed to foreign visitors. The new parliamentary democracy must agree on a constitution that will lead Bhutan into the globalized future. Before leaving the throne, the fourth Dragon King orders the new democratic government to institute various social reforms, promote trade, and navigate relations with foreign countries all while trying to maintain their culturally Buddhist values. Navigating economic and political relationships with Bhutan's powerhouse neighbors--China and India--is at the top of their list of priorities for this new democracy. As a member of the new king’s cabinet, how will you and your fellow ministers lead the Land of the Thunder Dragon?

Making Magic: 1965 Disney Executive Board
In the year 1954, one man had a dream to bring the creations of his company to life in grand scale, in a land where both adults and children could enjoy the pleasure of each others company together. With the enormous success of Disneyland in Anaheim, Walt Disney set his sights on Orlando, Florida to further realize this dream in an even larger setting. The title of this unnamed Florida Project would later go on to be world recognized as Walt Disney World. In this committee, delegates will be tasked in helping this dream be realized through their position in the Disney Company’s Executive board. This board will be tasked with a plethora of issues to combat, including: Dealing with labor unions and securing the land to actually build the park, losing employees that are enlisted into the Vietnam war, and securing the future of the company through an incredibly turbulent time in American history.
