This year, we present 6 committees for UvAMUN.
-
Disarmament and International Security (DISEC)
In a world grappling with rising security threats, DISEC takes on the critical challenge of addressing the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's (DPRK) transborder aggression. Delegates will examine the broader implications of DPRK's actions on international peace and security, from military provocations to their impact on neighboring states.
-
Special Political and Decolonization Committee (SPECPOL)
As humanity ventures beyond Earth's atmosphere, a new frontier of competition and conflict emerges. SPECPOL invites delegates to explore the pressing issue of space militarization, where geopolitical ambitions threaten to undermine the peaceful use of space. From addressing the militarization of satellites to the ethical challenges of weaponizing outer space, delegates will negotiate solutions to prevent an arms race and foster international cooperation.
-
Commission on Sustainable Development (SDC)
War doesn’t just devastate communities— it poisons the very resources essential to life. Delegates in the Commission on Sustainable Development will tackle the grave issue of water pollution in conflict zones across the Middle East. Delegates will be challenged to create sustainable, long-term strategies to protect water resources and support the recovery of war-torn regions.
-
Security Council
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) remains a flashpoint for conflict, humanitarian crises, and international intervention. The UNSC will take a deep dive into the UN’s peacekeeping mission (MONUSCO) in the DRC. Delegates will be tasked with critically analyzing MONUSCO's effectiveness in fostering peace, stability, and development in the region. Has the UN's strategies aligned with the realities on the ground or should the Council explore new approaches to aid a nation in turmoil?
-
Historical Crisis Council
Travel back to 1931, where the League of Nations (LoN) faces one of its most significant diplomatic crises: Japan’s invasion of Manchuria. Delegates will confront the challenges of balancing national interests, preserving international peace and upholding the League’s authority. Will the League steer toward decisive action or will the existing cracks in collective security grow wider?
