The Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC) is the First Committee of the United Nations General Assembly, responsible for addressing global peace and security issues, specifically related to disarmament, arms control, and international threats. In MUN, DISEC is a popular and engaging committee where delegates represent countries to debate topics such as nuclear weapons, cybersecurity, biological warfare, and militarization of space.
Although its resolutions are non-binding, they hold significant moral and diplomatic weight. DISEC challenges delegates to navigate complex geopolitical tensions and propose balanced, multilateral solutions to some of the world’s most pressing security concerns.
“Examining the Militarization of the Arctic: Preventing a New Cold War in an Emerging Geostrategic Frontier”
The once-untouched Arctic is now at the center of a global power race. As polar ice melts, new military bases, shipping routes, and energy reserves are drawing nations into a tense standoff. Delegates in DISEC will debate how to prevent this pristine region from becoming a battlefield — is the world heading into a New Cold War at the top of the globe?
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is a specialized UN body that tackles some of the world’s most complex and hidden threats—drug trafficking, cybercrime, terrorism, corruption, and human trafficking. In MUN, it stands apart as a committee rooted deeply in legal frameworks and international cooperation, pushing delegates to go beyond diplomacy and address the operational side of global security.
Discussions in UNODC are solution-driven, requiring a careful balance between enforcing justice and protecting human rights. It’s a committee where delegates must think analytically, act decisively, and propose real-world strategies to dismantle the networks that fuel global crime.
“Strengthening Global Frameworks to Counter the Opioid Crisis and Synthetic Drug Trafficking”
The opioid epidemic has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and continues to evolve with the rise of synthetic drugs like fentanyl. This agenda tasks delegates with building a united global response to a problem that straddles public health, organized crime, and online black markets. Can the international community develop systems that both save lives and dismantle the dark networks behind the crisis?
