The UNSC at BITSMUN will be a Continuous Crisis Committee, as is the flavour of the day which brings a refreshing change from SC debate that many feel gets interesting only during the crisis.
The theme of the CCC, as decided by chairperson Taufique Shoogufan is "The responsibility to Protect", or in its more used-and-abused form, 'R2P'. Like the other councils, when the time is right, a more detailed explanation shall arrive, but what you should know right now is that the observer nations apart from the current 15 will be Ukraine, Syria, Iran and Turkey.

At 0329 Hours, 16 days ago at the wee hours of dawn, a million men strong German force invaded Poland from 3 directions in retaliation to Polish acts against of violence against Germany the day before. The Polish were caught unprepared and unawares, and took heavy losses. Panzers and Ju87 Stukas were ripping through Polish ranks with ease and efficiency.
The Assembly of the League of Nations has realized that the channels of formal diplomacy has failed, and has called for an ad-hoc emergency conference with NO PRE CONDITIONS in hopes to prevent another potentially Great War in Europe.
Ulrich Friedrich Wilhelm Joachim von Ribbentrop, Foreign Minister of Germany has responded with this statement:
"The Fatherland, will not tolerate any those who seek to destroy us. We have shown the world, how we deal with aggressor nations. We do not forget nor forgive. But we are merciful, so we will see what our enemies have to say, lest they say we are warmongers"
As you step into the shoes of various leaders in this historic committee keep in mind that this is the last chance of hope to prevent the horrors of another catastrophic war. This is the last chance of hope for diplomacy. This is the last chance of hope for mankind. This will have to be the Conference of Hope.

One of the six principal organs of the United Nations, the UN General Assembly is probably the one which imbibes its spirit to the fullest extent. With every member having equal representation, from 1946 to 2014, it has come a long way in exercising its powers within the scope of the UN Charter.
Space is no longer the final frontier and we must set our eyes forward to fulfill the hopes of 7 billion people and their great nations. Can you, delegate, go where no person has gone before and bring the General Assembly together to ride through the dark storms ahead? We await you.

The ICC isn't a committee. It doesn't test your lobbying skills or your resolution drafting powers. At the ICC your knowledge, your analytic reasoning, your focus, your will power and your determination to serve Justice will be put to a test.
There are no Delegates at an ICC. Only Counsels. Counsels, on whose shoulders the hopes and dreams of thousands wronged, rest. There shall be a Prosecution Team lead by the Chief Prosecutor, which would not rest until the party guilty of genocide is sentenced for his crimes. And there shall be a Defense Team lead by the Chief Defense Counsel, who would leave no stone upturned to make sure that their "innocent client" is not made a scapegoat of International politics.
Yes, the ICC isn't a committee. It is a high stakes duel of sheer skills between people determined to serve Justice (or their client).
The best will clash, sparks will fly, legends will be born inside those four walls and history will be written at BITSMUN'14 International Criminal Court.
