Chairpersons' Proclamation
Welcome to the Emergency Session of the ASEAN on the Kampuchea Crisis. It is our privilege to host you in this committee at a time when the very base of global peace and sovereignty is being tested. This committee is convened under extraordinary circumstances where diplomacy is not just an option but a necessity. As the impact of the invasion reverberates throughout the world, the delegates are expected to be on their toes, with correct usage of international laws, as well as necessary actions for restabilizing peace in the region.
Putting aside the theatrics, as your chairpersons, we can promise you that this committee is not going to be a quintessential semi-conventional committee; it is going to be a fast paced committee with disruptive updates.
Delegates, we expect more than rhetoric. We demand resolve. We urge you to draft powerful, binding resolutions, showcase your research using powerful speeches packed with research and well crafted paperwork. We look forward to being blown away (not literally).
Until June,
