The Fall of the Ministry and the First Wizarding War (1979)

About the committee

"Paranoia, espionage, and fighting an underground terrorist network" Instead of the usual Harry Potter era, set the committee at the height of Voldemort's original rise to power. Lord Voldemort is gaining territory, Death Eaters have infiltrated the Ministry, and the Minister for Magic (Harold Minchum) is losing control. Delegates must root out spies within their own ranks, manage public panic, and decide whether to cooperate with Albus Dumbledore’s illegal vigilante group, the Order of the Phoenix. Do they stick to strict Ministry laws, or do they authorize unforgivable curses to fight back?

Topic

The Global Refugee Crisis: Climate Displacement and Border Sovereignty.

About the committee

The international definition of a "refugee" is broken. Current international law only protects people fleeing war or persecution, but millions are now fleeing uninhabitable land due to rising sea levels, severe droughts, and agricultural collapse. Low-lying island nations are sinking, and massive populations are moving toward the borders of wealthier countries, sparking intense political debates over national sovereignty and human rights. In the UNGA, every single voice is equal, and no country has a veto. Your mission is to build massive global coalitions to update international asylum laws and fund global resettlement strategies. Will the international community unite to share the burden of human displacement, or will nations shut their borders to protect their own resources?

Topic

The Satellites that Power the World: Preventing Cyber Warfare and Space Collisions

About the committee

Almost everything we do today relies on satellites. When you use Google Maps, stream a video, or swipe a credit card, you are using a network of thousands of tiny satellites circling Earth in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO). Because space technology has become cheaper, private tech billionaires and powerful countries are rushing to launch massive fleets of satellites called "Mega-Constellations." Right now, space is becoming incredibly crowded, like a massive highway traffic jam with no traffic lights. Two major dangers threaten the global sky: 1. Space Attacks (Cyber Warfare): Rogue hacker groups and rival nations are launching cyber-attacks to hijack satellites. If a hacker takes over a military or GPS satellite, they can shut down a country’s entire internet, cause planes to lose navigation, or blind weather tracking systems. 2. The Domino Effect (The Space Traffic Jam): Because there are no global laws governing traffic in space, satellites are starting to crash into each other. When two satellites collide at 27,000 km/h, they explode into millions of tiny pieces of sharp space junk (debris). This junk orbits Earth like a swarm of bullets. If one piece hits another satellite, it causes another explosion. This chain reaction could destroy every single satellite in orbit, permanently knocking out the world's internet and paralyzing life back on Earth for decades. So, delegates, Who owns the sky? If a country or a private company wants to launch 10,000 satellites, should they be allowed to block the sky for everyone else? Who cleans up the mess? If a Russian or American satellite explodes and creates space junk that destroys a Singaporean satellite, who has to pay for the damage? Who is legally responsible for cleaning up the space junk? How do we stop space hacking? Can countries agree to create a global "cyber-police" for space, or will nations keep hacking each other's satellites to spy on their enemies?

1. Supply Chain Accountability: Eradicating Female Exploitation and Forced Labor in the Global South
2. The Digital Gender Divide: Combating Al-Driven Bias, Cyber-Exploitation, and Tech-Enabled Abuse

About the committee

**Topic 1: Supply Chain Accountability: Eradicating Female Exploitation and Forced Labor in the Global South In the globalized economy, major multinational corporations heavily rely on manufacturing and agricultural hubs in the Global South to cut production costs. However, this system masks a deep gender crisis: women make up the vast majority of the workforce in the lowest-paid, least-regulated sectors, such as the fast-fashion garment industry and tech-component assembly lines. Unscrupulous subcontractors routinely exploit weak local labor laws to subject female workers to unsafe working conditions, wage theft, and systematic physical abuse. Because these women often operate in the informal economy or under temporary contracts, they lack access to basic legal protection, maternity leave, or union representation. Furthermore, when local governments try to increase wages or enforce labor standards, corporations frequently threaten to move their factories to a different country with weaker laws. This sets off a destructive "race to the bottom" that traps millions of women in systemic poverty while enriching global supply chains. This topic introduces intermediate delegates to the friction between transnational corporate power and national sovereignty. The UN cannot directly pass laws that force private foreign corporations to pay fair wages. Delegates must design complex, binding international frameworks that force consumer nations in the Global North to legally penalize corporations if their global supply chains exploit women. This triggers a massive economic clash: developing nations want to protect their female citizens but fear that strict regulations will scare away foreign investment and destroy their economies. **Topic 2: The Digital Gender Divide: Combating Al-Driven Bias, Cyber-Exploitation, and Tech-Enabled Abuse The rapid explosion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital technology has created an entirely new, unregulated frontier for gender-based discrimination and violence. Because AI algorithms are primarily trained on historical data biased toward men, facial recognition systems, automated hiring software, and financial credit scoring tools are systematically discriminating against women, locking them out of corporate careers and economic resources. Simultaneously, technology is being actively weaponized to orchestrate cross-border gender-based violence. The rise of sophisticated "deepfake" technology, non-consensual image distribution, and encrypted cyber-stalking networks allows digital predators to ruin women's lives with absolute anonymity. Compounding the crisis, international human trafficking rings are increasingly using mainstream social media platforms and encrypted apps to lure, groom, and exploit vulnerable women, moving their criminal networks online where traditional local police forces cannot reach them. This topic forces delegates to confront a massive jurisdictional nightmare. If a tech company based in the United States hosts an AI tool that creates a malicious deepfake of a female politician in India, which country's laws apply? UNCLOS and traditional treaties have clear borders, but cyberspace does not. Delegates must figure out how to draft global internet regulations and data-privacy standards without violating free-speech laws or allowing authoritarian regimes to use "cyber-security" as an excuse to censor women's political speech online.
