WorldMUN Committees

GA: Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC)

TOPIC: Cobalt Mining in the Congo

DISEC will address the human cost of cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where children and civilians are exploited under inhumane conditions. While cobalt is essential to the global tech economy, its extraction raises serious ethical and security concerns. Delegates will examine the international community’s role in enabling these practices and propose multilateral solutions to regulate supply chains, protect vulnerable communities, and ensure ethical resource governance.

GA: Economic and Financial Committee (ECOFIN)

TOPIC: International Monetary Fund Bailouts and their Consequences

ECOFIN will explore the effectiveness of IMF interventions in countries facing repeated financial crises. Through case studies of Pakistan, Egypt, and Côte d’Ivoire, delegates will assess whether IMF policies have fostered sustainable development or entrenched debt cycles. Using diverse economic metrics and methodologies, the committee will evaluate the long-term implications of IMF involvement and propose reforms to promote financial stability, equity, & accountability.

GA: Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural Committee (SOCHUM)

TOPIC: Healthcare Treatment and Stigmas Surroundings its Provision

SOCHUM will examine how cultural norms, legal restrictions, and economic barriers limit access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) worldwide. With particular focus on marginalized populations, the committee will evaluate structural inequalities and propose inclusive policies that expand access to comprehensive SRHR education,services, and protections—especially in low-resource and conservative settings.

GA: Special Political and Decolonization Committee (SPECPOL)

TOPIC: Protecting and Preserving Biodiversity

SPECPOL will address the global biodiversity crisis, with wildlife populations declining by nearly 70% since 1970. Delegates will assess the root causes of ecosystem collapse—such as habitat destruction, climate change, and overexploitation—and debate solutions that reflect their nations’ ecological and geopolitical interests. The committee will work to develop cooperative strategies for preserving global biodiversity and securing a sustainable future.

GA: Legal Committee

TOPIC: Digital Learning and Educational Inequities

The Legal Committee will investigate how disparities in digital access and literacy widen global educational inequalities. Delegates will examine the legal responsibilities of governments and institutions in ensuring digital inclusion, especially for underserved communities. Topics include teacher training, student access, funding, and data privacy. The committee will develop rights-based frameworks to support equitable digital learning worldwide.

ECOSOC/RB: Commission for Social Development (CSocD)

TOPIC: Collectivized and Collaborative Action of Populations for the Sake of National Development

CSocD will explore how local, community-led approaches can drive effective poverty reduction. Drawing on models like the Harlem Children’s Zone, delegates will consider how systems-level interventions - coordinated across education, health, and economic support - can be adapted globally. The committee will assess the cultural, financial, and political challenges of implementing place-based strategies in diverse international contexts.
