DISEC
The Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC) discussing "The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Modern Warfare" delves into the transformative impact and ethical dilemmas AI poses in military contexts. Delegates examine the advancements in autonomous weapons systems, data-driven intelligence, and predictive analytics that have revolutionized warfare, enabling nations to deploy precision strikes, monitor threats in real time, and respond rapidly to security challenges. However, with these capabilities come significant ethical and strategic concerns, such as accountability for autonomous actions, the potential for escalation through AI-driven arms races, and the threat of human oversight being minimized or even removed in critical military decisions. Delegates debate international regulatory frameworks to address these risks, questioning how to ensure AI systems are developed and deployed responsibly and whether international law should limit or govern AI use in combat. In addressing these issues, DISEC delegates are tasked with balancing national security needs and technological progress with the principles of humanitarian law, aiming to prevent the unchecked deployment of AI in ways that could destabilize global peace and security. This discussion challenges delegates to navigate complex intersections of technology, ethics, and international cooperation in the pursuit of a safer world.

SOCHUM
The Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural Committee (SOCHUM) discussing “COVID-19’s Impact on Gender Equality and Women’s Rights” examines how the pandemic has deepened existing inequalities and created new challenges for women and marginalized gender groups. Delegates explore the socioeconomic, health, and safety implications of COVID-19 on women worldwide, focusing on issues like increased domestic violence, limited access to healthcare, disproportionate job losses, and the burden of unpaid care work. The committee addresses the structural factors that have led to these disparities, discussing how healthcare systems, legal frameworks, and economic policies can be reformed to protect women’s rights and promote gender equality. With many women in frontline roles and informal sectors, delegates also consider the need for gender-responsive recovery strategies to ensure women are included in decision-making processes and receive equal opportunities in the post-pandemic world. This topic urges SOCHUM delegates to develop solutions that support women’s empowerment, economic independence, and safety, aiming for a recovery that leaves no one behind.
SPECPOL
The Special Political and Decolonization Committee (SPECPOL) discussing “The Impact of Military Bases on Host Nations” explores the complex political, economic, and social ramifications of foreign military installations on host countries. Delegates analyze how the presence of foreign bases can bring both strategic benefits, such as strengthened security and economic stimulation through local employment, and significant challenges, including environmental degradation, cultural tensions, and impacts on national sovereignty. Issues of accountability often arise, as incidents involving military personnel can strain diplomatic relations and affect public perception within the host nation. SPECPOL delegates debate the conditions under which these bases operate, such as jurisdictional limits, resource allocation, and adherence to human rights standards, exploring whether existing agreements prioritize the host nation’s interests. Additionally, the committee considers the broader geopolitical dynamics, including how military bases influence regional stability, power balances, and the host nation’s autonomy in foreign policy decisions. This topic requires delegates to weigh the security and economic needs of both host and sending nations, aiming to propose fair and mutually respectful arrangements that uphold sovereignty while maintaining peace and stability.
LEGAL
The Legal Committee of our conference discussing Space Law and Resource Exploitation takes on the challenging task of addressing the legal frameworks and ethical considerations of activities in outer space. Delegates debate the current gaps in international space law, especially regarding the extraction of resources from celestial bodies like the Moon, Mars, and asteroids. With the rapid advancement of space exploration technology and the involvement of private companies, the committee explores questions around sovereignty, equitable resource sharing, and environmental protection in space. Key treaties, like the Outer Space Treaty and the Moon Agreement, form the basis of discussions, but delegates are tasked with evaluating their relevance and effectiveness in the modern era of space commercialization. The committee also considers the role of international cooperation and the responsibility of nations to ensure space remains a global commons, free from militarization and environmental degradation, while fostering sustainable economic opportunities. This topic requires delegates to balance scientific ambition with ethical stewardship, aiming to create a future where space exploration benefits all humankind.
ECOSOC
The Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of our conference will address the pressing issue of Climate-Induced Migration: Socio-Economic Impacts and Solutions. As rising sea levels, desertification, and extreme weather events displace millions, delegates will examine how climate change is reshaping global migration patterns and what this means for both origin and host communities.
The committee explores the economic strain on infrastructure, healthcare, and employment systems, as well as the social challenges of integration, inequality, and human rights. Delegates will debate how international frameworks can better support climate migrants, and what roles governments, NGOs, and international institutions should play in creating sustainable and humane solutions.
Tasked with balancing environmental realities and humanitarian responsibilities, this committee aims to craft long-term strategies that protect vulnerable populations while promoting global cooperation and resilience in the face of climate-driven displacement.
ECOFIN
The Economic and Financial Committee (ECOFIN) of our conference takes on the dynamic and timely topic of Regulation of Digital Currencies and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). As cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin reshape global finance and central banks accelerate efforts to develop digital versions of national currencies, this committee explores the legal, economic, and ethical challenges of the digital financial revolution.
Delegates will debate how to regulate decentralized currencies without hindering innovation, address concerns over financial crime, economic inequality, and the potential disruption to traditional monetary systems. At the same time, the rise of CBDCs brings new questions regarding implementation, international coordination, and the balance between privacy and control.
This committee calls on delegates to find a middle ground — ensuring global financial stability, promoting inclusion, and guiding the future of money with responsibility and vision.
SPECIAL
What happens when the extraordinary meets the ordinary? This special committee, inspired by the world of The Boys, invites delegates to tackle the unprecedented challenge of integrating superheroes into global security frameworks. The discussions center around the ethical dilemmas, legal complexities, and political risks of granting individuals with extraordinary powers a role in shaping international peace and security.
With figures like Homelander embodying both heroism and controversy, delegates will grapple with questions of accountability and the dangers of unchecked power. How can the global community ensure that superheroes are tools of justice, not chaos? Furthermore, the influence of corporate giants like Vought International introduces an additional layer of complexity, as delegates navigate the blurred lines between profit-driven motives and public interest.
Adding to the tension, NATO’s role as a cornerstone of international defense strategy becomes a critical focal point. Delegates must consider whether superheroes belong within the structures of an alliance built on collective security and shared values. Will their inclusion strengthen global peace, or will it disrupt the delicate balance of power among member states?
This committee dares to challenge conventional thinking, pushing delegates to create innovative and balanced solutions that safeguard global stability while addressing the perils and promises of a super-powered world.
