Agenda: Conference of Palermo: Negotiation on the Allied invasion of Sicily
Following Nazi Germany’s deficiency in Operation Barbarossa, the momentum of war has shifted, leading to the Allied invasion of Sicily. Although the Allies were able to establish an initial foothold through their landing operations, the Axis powers remained unbroken, resulting in prolonged and destructive warfare.With over 300,000 combined military and civilian casualties; notably within the Kingdom of Italy, the urgency for diplomatic negotiation has become undeniable. This agenda calls upon delegates to contemplate on possible paths toward peace, strategic recalibration, and the reorganisation of Europe’s balance of power, while also confronting the tension between national survival and the pursuit of compromise.

Honourable Delegates,
It is my great privilege to welcome you to the Crisis Committee of CSIAMUN XVIII. My name is Sieun Lee, and it is my pleasure to serve as your Head Chair. The three days will be packed with an intense, fast-paced, and intellectually stimulating simulation, where every decision carries weight and consequence.
This year, Crisis will focus on the issue of the Conference of Palermo: Negotiation on the Allied Invasions of Sicily. Unlike traditional committees, the Crisis Committee demands both the precision of diplomacy and the agility of real-time strategy.
All delegates will embody a historical personality, empowered with authority and responsibilities, each of which will shape the evolution of the Sicilian campaign. Prompt action and strategic foresight are mandatory, as unexpected developments will arise throughout the conference. As delegates take action in this shifting environment, those demonstrating ingenuity, leadership, and collaboration will rise to prominence.
I look forward to seeing what the delegates will bring to the table; that energy, innovation, and professionalism to really put this committee on the map for all of us.
With highest regards,

Welcome, esteemed delegates!
I, Jiu Aidan Lee, am utterly gratified to serve as the Crisis Committee’s deputy chair for this year’s CSIAMUN. The uniqueness of our committee derives from its fast-paced disputes, unparalleled creativity, and most importantly, its dynamic and unpredictable scenarios. Unlike regular committees with fixed agendas, our sessions will revolve around live, unfolding events. As the Backroom Chair, it is my responsibility to challenge delegates with spontaneous crisis updates, ensuring a stimulating and engaging experience.
I am highly anticipating to encounter the diverse skill sets that delegates will employ to survive through these erratic sessions. Who will be the most adaptive? Who will be the most calculative? The answers will all unfold in January.
See you all then.
All the best,
Jiu Aidan Lee.
