Santa Margarita International Rules Conference (SMIRC)
April 13-14, 2024
This conference will be an introduction to the “THIMUN” style of debate that is done at conferences outside of the United States. For this conference, you will write resolutions for both topics before the conference. The resolutions are due April 10 to your class learning portal or TEAMS.
Delegate Guide
This delegate guide will give you an overview of how to prepare for the conference. We will be simulating the CCPCJ Committee (The Commission of Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice)
Topic A - Discrimination in the Criminal Justice System
You should do your own research on this topic but this background guide should be helpful as a starting point.
Topic B - Reducing Corruption as it relates to drug trafficking
This is the background guide for Topic B. Both topics will be discussed equally and you need to write a resolution for both topics. Just because this is labeled topic “B” doesn’t mean it will be less important. The UNODC has some excellent resources for this topic. Education for Justice for MUN E4JMUN
