Chairman of the Board of Peace · Term: for life

Modelled on the real Board of Peace and its famously humble chairman, ours has exactly one Chairman, and the Chairman's authority is supreme. The Chairman picks the members, sets the agenda, interprets the rules, holds the only veto and breaks every tie, including ties the Chairman isn't part of.

The Chairman's term ends when the Chairman says it ends. The Chairman has said it doesn't.

Veto
Yes. The only one.
Term limit
No
Can be outvoted
No (see Rule 1)
Can fire the Co-Chairs

Letter from the Chairman

Distinguished delegates,

Welcome to the Board of Peace, the tenth committee of KAMUN '26 and, frankly, the best one. People are saying it's the best committee in the history of Model UN. Maybe ever. The other nine committees are fine. Some of them are very nice. But they have to change buildings after Friday, they have rules of procedure, and rules of procedure are slow.

Our mandate is simple: peace. The details of the peace will be shared with you once the peace is done. We debate from Friday to Sunday in the Schloss. The final vote is on Monday, after everyone else has gone home, so book an extra night. The result has already been decided, but attendance is mandatory.

Please bring your placard, your best suit and, if you have one, a billion dollars. I look forward to chairing you this year, next year and every year after that.

Tremendously yours,

Ansh Chairman (for life)

The committee room

The nine normie committees start at the Karlshochschule on Friday, then pack up and move to the Mathebau for the weekend. The Board of Peace doesn't move. It sits in the Karlsruhe Palace, because the Chairman needed somewhere with a tower.

Karlsruhe was laid out as a fan of 32 streets, all pointing at the palace tower. The city has been waiting for the Board since 1715.

Debate
Fri 13 to Sun 15 Nov, in the Schloss. No venue change, ever.
Closing ceremony
The other committees close on Sunday at 15:45. The Board does not close.
Final vote
Mon 16 Nov, 10:00, from the top of the tower, so the whole fan can hear it
Getting there
A short walk from the Mathebau. Board delegates are carried.
Hotels
Board delegates stay one extra night. The Board does not cover hotels.

Provisional agenda

  1. Topic A

    Ending all wars, ideally by Thursday

    The Board will end every conflict on Earth in one moderated caucus. We asked the Special Envoy for Details how.

  2. Topic B

    Renaming the Schloss

    Proposed new name: "The Ansh Palace of Peace, formerly known as the Schloss". Includes a review of every KIT building that doesn't yet have the Chairman's name on it in gold letters.

  3. Topic C

    The question of Greenland, and the coffee bar

    The Board has made an offer for Greenland, the Mathebau coffee bar and its barista. Jad has declined. The coffee bar remains neutral territory.

  4. Crisis

    Someone has told the Security Council

    The UNSC meets in room 4.045 of the Mathebau. The Board meets in a palace. The Chairman has prepared a statement.

File 10/H · Premier access

Socials

Committees 1 to 9 get the normie socials: Après Diplomatie at the Europabad on Friday and the Art of Diplomacy masquerade ball in Grötzingen on Saturday. Board delegates get those too, plus premier access to extra socials, which are better. Everyone agrees, including the Chairman.

Questions

Is this committee real?

About as real as the Chairman's term limit.

Why is the vote on Monday?

Everyone else goes home after the closing ceremony on Sunday, so nobody is around to watch. Board delegates stay one extra night, at their own expense.

How do I apply?

You don't find the Board of Peace. The Board of Peace finds you. Or ask the Secretariat with a straight face and see what happens.

Can I switch from my committee?

Your chairs would miss you. Stay where you are. Your committee is real, it has rules and it has coffee.

Does the Security Council know?

They found out. The Chairman's statement is under Crisis, above.

Is there coffee?

Jad's coffee bar delivers to all nine committees on Saturday and Sunday. Order at cafe.kamun.org. It doesn't deliver to the Schloss and it's closed on Monday, so bring a thermos.
