BGIC IX Crisis Committee - 4 hours (S)

As this would be not only my final year at ISB, but also my final chance to participate in BGIC, I wanted to do one last thing with the Conference. The opportunity presented itself for me to be a part of the new crisis committee, whose purpose was to think of a problem - the crisis - which would be presented, without warning, to the delegates. They would then have about an hour to agree on an action plan to counter this crisis.

The Committee planning session in final preparations

This year, the committee decided on a dramatic crisis: Iran declared that it would push on with its nuclear program, with the possibility of developing nuclear weapons in the future. As such, it had left the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Dressed in a suit with bodyguard and secretary, I stormed into the delegate's committee, looking nothing like an Iranian, to give a short question and answer session. Overall, I think it was a spectacular success, despite the delegates' disbelief in some of our acting.
