Committee: The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC)

Topic: Mitigating the humanitarian crisis in Rojava

Syrian Kurdistan or Rojava is no exception to the atrocities of the ongoing Syrian civil war for the past years. This region is populated mainly by Kurds and has been plagued by numerous humanitarian problems connected with war, refugees, and economic problems. In this aspect, the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) has struggled to address the needs of the population due to resource and recognition deficits.

Committee: The Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC)

Topic: Addressing the armed conflict in Haiti

Haiti has been plagued with a plethora of crises and after a steep rise in crime and extremism, the presidential assassination in 2021, multiple earthquakes in 2018, 2021, 2022, and 2023, and other natural calamities, the state has been severely jeopardized. There has been an upsurge in violence and armed conflict by Non-State Actors and extremist organisations. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) ascertains that over 42% of the Haitian Population requires immediate humanitarian assistance. The electoral procedures have been completely halted due to gross corruption and weakened infrastructure. The severe impairment of the judicial system has led to systemic impunity for most criminals. It is up to the member states to provide an accepted, comprehensive, and efficient strategy to curb rising brutality, re-establish basic facilities and infrastructure, rehabilitate the displaced Haitian population, and build a roadmap for long-term peace and security in the region.

Committee: The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)

Topic: Ecological and Social Impact of Mining in Sea: A deeper look into the South China Sea Dispute and Clarion-Clipperton zone

The doomsday clock ticks closer to midnight. With every tonne of CO2 released in the atmosphere we are pushing nature to its limit and with every irresponsible action, we push our world into destruction. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals were pledged to be fulfilled by 2030, so were the 2015 Paris Climate Accords. As we near that date, progress has been severely underwhelming, causing nations to scramble and set up renewable energy systems to achieve Net Zero Carbon Emissions. The precious and rare minerals needed for developing those can be found in great abundance in our ocean floor. But should we scrape and destroy the ocean bed, push several marine species to extinction and destroy the livelihoods of millions that depend on the seas? All for the few minerals necessary to reverse climate change and save our world. The Member States of the UNEP must debate and come forward with a solution that serves the best interest of all, that ensures both the protection of the ocean and surrounding habitats, as well as the goal of stopping climate change and its adverse effects.

Committee: United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)

Topic: Harnessing digital transformation to advance human development

Digitization and AI has been reshaping the key areas of human development; such as healthcare, social norms, education, and employment. While the introduction of such new technologies has brought in unparalleled connectivity into this world, the banes of this concept are yet to be addressed. The extent to which AI and other technology could alter our world is limitless. It's a risky process to introduce this new digital economy into the world; if done carelessly, it might drastically alter the course of history. The fast pace of AI and digitization take advantage of the resources humanity has to offer, but create challenges as well. For example, in healthcare, although AI can improve clinical diagnoses and personalize treatments, it also generates concerns of privacy protection issues and exacerbates disparities for access to high-quality care. Even as digital platforms redefine howcommunication, relationships and personal identity come together, they are also challenging the existing norms like never before - bringing about new ethical dilemmas and societal ripple effects. Nations must work to build comprehensive structures, including regulations and ethical norms, so that the benefits of AI technology can be harnessed to the benefit of the global population.

Committee: Commission on the Status of Women (CSW)

Topic: Tackling AI bias and challenging media stereotypes against women

Welcome to the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). Our agenda focuses on the critical issue of "Tackling AI Bias and Challenging Media Stereotypes Against Women."AI systems, often trained on biased data, can perpetuate and amplify gender biases, leading to unfair outcomes in areas like hiring, lending, and criminal justice. Media stereotypes, on the other hand, reinforce narrow and often harmful portrayals of women, affecting self-esteem and societal roles. Let us approach this discussion with a shared commitment to gender equality and the determination to create a future where technology and media empower all individuals, regardless of gender.

Committee: United Nations Security council

Topic: Iran-Iraq war: before 12th January 1987

The war between Iraq and Iran began in September 1980 when Iraq under the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein invaded Iran under the leadership of Ayatollah Khomeini to gain access to the Shatt al-Arab River, taking control of the oil-rich Khuzestan province and creating chaos in the Iranian military. The Commission focuses on the period before the UN ceasefire to discuss the issues, the economic and social situation, security, sovereignty of states and to promote intellectual debate that takes us back to the Gulf War.
