United Nations General Assembly 3

A critical forum dedicated to addressing the most pressing social, humanitarian, and cultural issues. United General Assembly 3 (GA3) demands a rigorous and professional approach to complex challenges that impact global stability and human welfare. Delegates are expected to stay grounded in thorough research and a clear understanding of international law and policy. Get ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into the kind of debates that make headlines.

Disarmament and International Security Committe

DISEC commands a place of distinction within the United Nations, shaping the course of global peace and acting as a guardian against the gravest threats to security. It addresses some of the most urgent challenges to world stability, from disputes over conventional weapons to the dangers posed by nuclear arms. The committee provides nations with a space to resolve disagreements before they escalate, while delegates must balance their countries’ interests with the greater responsibility of safeguarding global security.

Cyber Security Council

The Cyber Security Council (CSC), established to address the rising threats of the digital age, serves as a leading body in safeguarding global stability, information integrity, and digital rights. With its mandate to strengthen international cooperation in cyberspace, CSC focuses on combating cybercrime, preventing attacks on critical infrastructure, and ensuring the responsible use of emerging technologies. Through research, policy development, and cross-border collaboration, the council works to support member states in protecting their digital ecosystems and upholding international security.

World Trade Organization

WTO sets the stage for nations to engage in trade that shapes economies, businesses, and our daily lives. From disputes over trade and subsidies to debates about digital trade, sustainability, and more, it challenges delegates to balance global impact with full cooperation, ensuring a passionate discussion. If you enjoy heated negotiations, national-to-global impact, and a united coalition, WTO is the committee for you. WTO: where arguing about tariffs is way more fun than it sounds.

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), established in 1950, is the principal UN body mandated to protect and support refugees, asylum-seekers, stateless persons, and internally displaced people worldwide. Guided by the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol, UNHCR works to ensure the fundamental rights of those forced to flee are respected, while seeking durable solutions such as voluntary repatriation, local integration, or resettlement in third countries.

United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), established in 1997, is the leading UN body in addressing issues related to crime, drug control and justice. With its mandate to support global security, human rights and sustainable development, while combatting transnational organized crime, corruption, trafficking and terrorism. At MUN, delegates in UNODC tackle complex global threats that undermine peace and stability by debating strategies to dismantle criminal networks, reduce drug abuse, strengthen border security and protect vulnerable populations from exploitation. By fostering international cooperation and resilience, UNODC aims to create safer societies and promote justice, equality and human dignity across the world.

Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division

S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division) represents a unique and dynamic committee operating at the crossroads of international diplomacy, intelligence operations, and high-level security strategy. In this simulation, delegates will take on the roles of superheroes, enhanced individuals and villains working under the broader oversight of S.H.I.E.L.D, allied global authorities, or even for themselves. Each delegate brings unique abilities, perspectives, and moral codes to the table, creating a challenging environment where collaboration is essential but never guaranteed.

United Nations Environment Programme

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) founded in 1972 is the leading global body for tackling the world’s most urgent environmental challenges. From climate change and biodiversity loss to pollution, waste management, and sustainable development, UNEP drives international cooperation to protect the planet and secure a sustainable future. While its resolutions are not legally binding, they carry strong moral and political weight, encouraging nations to take meaningful action. Beyond policy, UNEP also promotes education, partnerships, and opportunities for collaboration.

World Health Organization

Since 1948, the World Health Organization (WHO) has led global efforts to improve health for all people, at all ages, everywhere. It ensures equitable access to essential services, responds to health emergencies, and sets international health standards. At MUN, WHO gives delegates the chance to confront real-world health challenges. Delegates will need to research, propose scientific evidence, consider political realities and design solutions that are both ambitious and achievable. The committee values creativity, strategic thinking, and leadership, pushing participants to think like policymakers working under real international pressure.

United Nations Correspondents Association

Founded in 1948, the United Nations Correspondents Association (UNCA) serves as a collective platform for reporters and journalists to capture the essence of the various events taking place in the United Nations committees. Unlike traditional MUN committees representing countries, UNCA delegates recognize and embrace their roles as news agencies, which allows them to witness engaging committee discussions and generate insightful press releases. Being the voice to the general public, UNCA plays a crucial role in bridging key perspectives, ranging from international politics to environmental issues. The committee strives to spotlight the critical decisions that shape our future, and the impacts of these vital choices.
