JCC Syrian Civil War - Revolutionaries

The Syrian Civil War - Revolutionaries JCC will center around attempts to organize the numerous revolutionary forces that emerged in opposition to the Assad government. Delegates in the committee must determine strategies to defeat the stronger Syrian government while identifying opportunities to expand their diplomatic reach and find international allies. 

Approximate committee size: 20 delegates

Note: This committee addresses complex topics that require significant historical understanding. Participation in these committees should be reserved for only those with prior Model UN experience. All delegates are advised to read the letter from the Undersecretary-General for Crisis Simulations linked here before beginning research for the committee.
