September 30th Movement

Approximate Size: 20 Single Dels

Set in Indonesia in 1965, this committee centers on the September 30th Movement, a pivotal Cold War political crisis that poses questions of presidential succession, ideological conflict, and humanitarian response amid intense factional tension. Whether part of a local militia, foreign government, or a political or religious group, delegates must find ways to pursue both their own agenda and that of the committee. As Indonesia seeks a path forward, this committee must navigate the complex issues facing the country as the whole world watches.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR AND CRISIS MANAGER:

Dear Delegates,

My name is Jay Adhi, and I'm very excited to be your chair at LABMUNC VII. I'm currently a junior at Lab and serve as one of our Under-Secretary Generals. I think Model UN is an activity that promotes crucial skills like public speaking, critical thinking, and confidence in dealing with your surroundings. Beyond MUN, I'm a tutor, volunteer, and an intern with an economics professor, and I love to try new things around the city with friends. I hope you all find this committee both rewarding and engaging, and meet some new people while doing it. I look forward to seeing you all in December!

My name is June Ridgway, and I'm currently a sophomore here at Lab. I've been involved in MUN since the beginning of my freshman year. Outside of MUN I run track and field, enjoy reading and baking, and love spending time with my friends. I hope this committee will be a fun and engaging experience for everyone, and I look forward to seeing the fun and creative crisis arcs that you come up with. I can’t wait to see you all in December!

Best,

Jay Adhi & June Ridgway
