Discussion on economic reforms in India

About the committee

Agenda: Discussion on economic reforms in India All India Political Party Meet is a non-technical but powerful committee. It is a meeting between all the political parties of the nation. Typically called before the session of the Parliament or before the introduction of a bill, this committee aims to arrive at a consensus before the sessions begin. It is a supplementary body to the Parliament without any legislative provisions. The purpose of the meetings was initially to be a forum for unbounded political debate which may not be allowed in Parliament due to time constraints but these bodies now aid in providing a better insight into national issues. They help provide a diverse viewpoint before the actual legislative process.

Discussing the UN counter terrorism strategy

About the committee

Agenda: Discussing the UN counter terrorism strategy The Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC) is the First Committee of the United Nations General Assembly. The committee concerns itself with questions of international importance regarding the security and demilitarization throughout all countries and regions, along with ensuring that citizens across the globe remain protected. This year, DISEC will be tasked with addressing two critical questions of thematic relevance for the committee. These questions are meant to be discussed to rethink the world in the modern era and how the international community can come together to ensure the sovereignty and self-determination of states. As you consider and discuss these topics, bear in mind the unequivocal necessity for multilateral collaboration and a wide variance of perspectives for effective resolutions to be passed. Topic A requires delegates to consider the role that electoral conflict and interference play in the functioning of democratic institutions, as well as the legislative backbone of every single nation. With the rise of the digital age and cyber-attacks, as well as the deadly conflict which can arise from elections, resolutions will need to provide a comprehensive approach to ensure that citizens can maintain their faith in the institutions which are meant to act as pillars of support and security. Topic B will consider the role of fragile states vis-à-vis topics of disarmament and international security, as well as the extent to which the member countries of the United Nations should involve themselves in the matter. Working to build up fragile states includes not only implementing safeguards against potential domestic violence, but also rethinking the military, economic and legislative institutions which allow these nations to provide their citizens with safety. The expansive nature of these topics will require inventive and unconventional solutions, tackling not only the short-term issues but the long-term strategic risks.

About the committee

Model UN frequently brings to mind the committees. But while these are the most common types of committees, you may encounter other ones, especially on the college Model UN circuit. Press corps committees are in this latter group. Instead of debating issues and representing countries or characters, delegates become journalists and photographers from world news organizations. Press corps committees are designed to represent the group of journalists and photographers typically present at the United Nations and other important bodies. At conferences, delegates in the press corps cover developments within the committees. They organize and attend press conferences, interview delegates, and write articles to be published during the conference. As you can probably imagine, this requires a deep familiarity with journalism and photography, strong interpersonal communication skills, and the ability to balance following debate in multiple committees with writing frequent articles. To succeed in press corps committees, delegates must master all of these. But don’t worry — by preparing beforehand you’ll be one step ahead of the rest.
