UN FIRST COMMITTEE - DISARMAMENT AND SECURITY (1990)

Welcome to the United Nations First Committee! Travel back to 1990, where we shall unravel the layers of complexity surrounding the Kuwait Crisis, where delegates will grapple with territorial disputes, political intricacies, and the looming specter of conflict, working collaboratively to craft innovative solutions that transcend borders and build bridges towards lasting peace. The fate of nations hangs in the balance, and in DISEC, the challenge is not just to address the crisis but to sculpt a legacy of harmony in a world navigating the turbulent sands of uncertainty.

UN Fourth Committee - Special Political and Decolonization

Join the United Nations Fourth Committee! Tasked with wide ranges of issues from navigating outer space to decolonization, this year’s Fourth Committee will consider Artificial Intelligence and its future. AI has undoubtedly been one of the most impactful developments of the past decade. The development of AI brings with it the immense potential to change human society in ways that are still not known, both positively and negatively. Throughout this committee we will delve into the nuances of AI on the global scale, and determine how the global community will support its development. This topic offers incredible breath with subtopics including the equitable development of AI, the use of AI in warfare, regulating AI's development, the legality of AI, and more.

United nations High Commission on Refugees

This UNHCR GA will address the recently released Strategic Plan for Climate Action for 2024-2030, which addresses the inevitable refugee crisis as a result of the detrimental effects of climate change. As part of acknowledging this new initiative, our committee could evaluate the progress made as a result of the UNHCR Strategic Directions for 2022-2026 as we are roughly halfway through this time period. The 2022-2026 Strategic Directions is a renewal of the original Strategic Directions proposed in 2017. Unlike the original SDs, which emphasized the empowerment of refugees and asylum seekers, the new SDs place an emphasis on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the climate crisis on refugees around the world. With these new initiatives with UNHCR, our committee can focus on how governments and NGOs are preparing for the inevitable mass migration events that will occur as the effects of climate change escalate. Given this, the objective of this General Assembly will be to discuss and adopt specific solutions that will allow UNHCR and governments to deal with climate crisis refugees.

United nations framework convention on climate change

Established by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1994, the yearly Conference of the Parties (COP) sees government and non-profit delegates convene to discuss pressing environmental issues and propose international protocols for combating climate change. However, these negotiations are rarely without controversy. This year’s conference, COP 28, in particular marks a particularly tenuous time for diplomats as discontent for this year’s site location, Dubai, UAE, and concern over COP 29’s location complicate the already pressing issues of successfully completing the Global Stockade and ensuring equitable adaptation through the Loss & Damage Fund established the previous year. Delegates, you will be tasked with representing various member and observer parties, navigating questions to determine the best methods for managing our planet and who should get a say in doing so.
