Recognizing Climate-Induced Displacement under International Law

About the committee

In this session of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), delegates will confront the growing global issue of climate-induced displacement, debating whether international law should officially recognize climate refugees. As climate change intensifies, millions of people worldwide are being forced to flee their homes due to rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and environmental degradation. Delegates will examine the legal and ethical implications of expanding the definition of refugees under the 1951 Refugee Convention to include those displaced by environmental factors. They will assess the role of the international community in providing protection and assistance, weighing the challenges of creating a cohesive framework that addresses both human rights and environmental justice. Through deliberation, delegates will aim to establish policies that balance humanitarian needs with legal feasibility in a rapidly changing world.

The Future of NATO Enlargement: Balancing Security Commitments and Geopolitical Stability

About the committee

In this session of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), delegates will discuss the expansion of transatlantic alliances, focusing on the viability and implications of NATO membership for non-Atlantic states. As NATO seeks to adapt to changing geopolitical dynamics, delegates will evaluate the strategic, political, and military benefits and challenges of incorporating countries outside the traditional Atlantic sphere, such as those from Eastern Europe, the Middle East, or Asia. Delegates will need to balance national security interests, alliance cohesion, and the broader impact on international peace and stability. As global power shifts and security concerns evolve, NATO's ability to remain united and expand will be tested, and delegates must navigate complex negotiations to determine the future direction of this key alliance.
