Special May Sessions

The VMC is offering special session types in May. Each session consists of only one meeting, the 5 May 2012 being a Crisis Committee and the 19 May 2012 a simulation of the Human Rights Council. Please note that these two events take place separately, therefore separate registration is needed if you intend to register for both simulations.

Further details about the rules and procedures of the VMC can be found on our website (see "MUN - Guide"). Each delegate has to send a Position Paper before the day of the first meeting to the Secretary General. A study guide specifying the topic can be found next to the session description. All meetings start punctually, please do not come late!
