As the premier body tasked with maintaining international peace and security, the UNSC will examine how to strengthen the enforcement of international law amid increasing geopolitical tensions and complex global crises. Delegates will explore ways to improve compliance mechanisms, adapt the Council’s response to emerging threats, and foster better cooperation among member states. Special attention will be given to pressing issues such as violations of sovereignty, the role of international tribunals, and mechanisms to address non-compliance by state and non-state actors. As part of the Joint Crisis Special Committee, UNSC delegates must also adapt to unfolding scenarios that demand decisive and unified action.
ILO (International Labour Organization) – Adapting Labor Policies to Address the Challenges of Automation and Globalization (Joint Crisis Special Committee Member)
Rapid advancements in automation, artificial intelligence, and globalization are transforming industries and labor markets worldwide. The ILO will focus on crafting labor policies that protect workers in the face of these changes, addressing job displacement, economic inequality, and workers’ rights. Delegates will delve into topics such as universal labor protections, reskilling initiatives, global standards for ethical AI in the workplace, and the creation of social safety nets to ensure equitable opportunities. As a Joint Crisis Special Committee member, the ILO will also collaborate with other committees to address real-time challenges that demand coordinated policy responses.
UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) – A Protocol for Phasing out Plastics
The pervasive issue of plastic pollution has reached a critical tipping point, threatening ecosystems, biodiversity, and public health. UNEP delegates will work to negotiate a comprehensive international protocol to phase out the production and use of harmful plastics. Discussions will cover strategies for developing sustainable alternatives, supporting circular economies, and addressing the socioeconomic impacts of transitioning away from plastics. Key considerations include the role of innovation in waste management, funding for developing nations to implement sustainable practices, and global monitoring mechanisms to ensure compliance.
COPUOS (Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space) – Addressing the Orbital Debris Situation through Sharing International Research
The exponential growth of space activity has led to a significant increase in orbital debris, posing risks to satellites, space exploration, and even life on Earth. Delegates in COPUOS will address the urgent need for international collaboration to mitigate this threat. Topics include developing and sharing debris-tracking technology, establishing global standards for satellite decommissioning, and exploring innovative solutions such as active debris removal. Delegates will also consider the economic and security implications of addressing orbital debris, ensuring that efforts to secure the future of space exploration are inclusive and equitable.
WHO (World Health Organization) – Advancing Equity and Capacity in Global Healthcare Systems
Health disparities continue to plague global communities, with marginalized populations bearing the brunt of inequities in access to healthcare. WHO delegates will explore strategies to advance equity in global health systems by addressing issues such as financing models, resource allocation, and capacity-building initiatives. Discussions will include enhancing pandemic preparedness, promoting access to essential medicines and vaccines, and strengthening healthcare infrastructure in underserved regions. Delegates are tasked with balancing the urgency of short-term solutions with the need for sustainable, long-term investments in global health equity.
GA2 (General Assembly Second Committee) – Creating Sustainable Human Prosperity in the Age of AI
As artificial intelligence reshapes economies, societies, and governance, GA2 delegates will address its implications for sustainable development. Topics include regulating AI to ensure ethical use, mitigating the risks of AI-driven inequality, and harnessing AI for advancements in education, healthcare, and economic growth. Delegates will also consider how to bridge the digital divide, ensuring that AI’s benefits are distributed equitably across nations and demographics. The committee’s work will emphasize collaboration to create frameworks that foster innovation while safeguarding human rights and sustainability.

The digital divide continues to exacerbate inequalities in education and cultural access worldwide. UNESCO delegates will focus on promoting digital equity, exploring innovative ways to provide universal access to technology and education. Key areas of discussion include integrating digital tools into education systems, preserving cultural heritage in the digital age, and supporting global initiatives to close the technological gap between developed and developing nations. Delegates will craft policies that empower individuals and communities, ensuring that cultural and educational opportunities are accessible to all.
