About

By the youth. For the youth.

Empowering Youth is a Model United Nations conference that is dedicated to empowering young people to make a difference in the world. The conference provides participants with the opportunity to learn about global issues, develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and practice public speaking and debate.

Empowering Youth is a great opportunity for students of all ages to learn about the United Nations and its work. Participants will have the opportunity to debate important global issues, such as the Regulation of Autonomous Weapons, and the Enforcement of Stricter Regulations on Climate Actions. They will also have the chance to connect and network with other students from around the world.

    About the committee

    The Disarmament & International Security Committee (DISEC) at EYMUN will delve into pressing global issues related to warfare and technology. The first topic, "Regulating the Use of Autonomous Weapons with Special Emphasis on A.I," will explore the ethical and legal implications surrounding the development and deployment of autonomous weapons systems. Delegates will discuss the potential risks and benefits of these technologies, considering the need for effective regulation and safeguards to prevent misuse or unintended consequences. The second topic, "The use of drones (both manned and unmanned) in warfare," will focus on the utilization of drones in recent conflicts like the Russo-Ukrainian war and Afghanistan, examining their impact, challenges, and potential policy measures. Delegates will address questions related to the accountability and liability for the actions of autonomous weapons, the potential for unintended consequences, and the protection of civilians in armed conflicts.
