FMPTMUN 2023

Topics

1. Nagorno-Karabakh Peacekeeping Mission.
2. Revising MINUSMA : Tensions between Mali and the UN.

About the committee

The United Nations Security Council is unique amongst the UN Organizations, due to both its history and its mandate. The UNSC held its first session in 1946, being entrusted with the task of maintaining international peace and security. Since then, the security council has discussed various geopolitical conflicts and worked to resolve global crisis that endanger international peace for the last 75 years. Moreover, since its 15 members can pass binding resolutions, it is one of the most influential UN bodies. This session, the UNSC will focus on peacekeeping missions in two conflict-prone regions: the contentious MINUSMA mission in war-torn Mali and the dangerous situation in the Nagorno -Karabakh region.

About the committee

It is our privilege to introduce to you the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees committee, commonly known as the UNHCR of the FMPTMUN 2023. As we gather here to simulate the dynamic world of international diplomacy, the UNHCR plays a pivotal role in addressing one of the most pressing global challenges – the issue of displaced populations and refugees. The UNHCR was established in 1950 to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugees, and to ensure that everyone has the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge in another state. Its mission involves providing protection, humanitarian assistance, and durable solutions to refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and stateless people worldwide. The UNHCR's mandate is rooted in the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol. It focuses on four main objectives: - Providing international protection to refugees and finding durable solutions. - Ensuring the provision of humanitarian assistance to refugees and IDPs. - Promoting the rights of refugees in host countries and advocating for their inclusion. - Addressing the causes of displacement and advocating for measures to prevent it. The UNHCR operates under the United Nations General Assembly and reports to the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). It collaborates closely with governments, international organizations, NGOs, and other stakeholders. Its work is guided by the principles of impartiality, non-discrimination, and the best interests of refugees. In this committee, we will deliberate upon two critical issues that the UNHCR is currently facing, the first one being “addressing internal displacement” and the second one on “protecting refugee children”. Delegates, we are here to find comprehensive and sustainable solutions to these pressing issues. Your role is not only to represent your assigned country's interests but also to collaborate with others to create resolutions that reflect the UNHCR's principles and objectives. It is crucial to consider the humanitarian aspect while finding diplomatic solutions. In the spirit of cooperation and understanding, we encourage each and every delegate to engage actively, share insights, and work towards resolutions that will contribute to a more just and compassionate world for refugees and displaced persons. Let us embrace the opportunity to enact change and promote the values of the United Nations through our deliberations in this UNHCR Committee. We wish you all fruitful deliberations and a memorable Model United Nations conference.

About the committee

The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) has been recognized as an essential key leader in promoting sustainable development and protecting the environment globally. UNEP serves as a platform for international collaboration and action to achieve sustainability goals with a mandate to address the world's most pressing environmental challenges. With the guidance of the chairs in this Model United Nations committee, we will discuss and deliberate on: "Sustainable ocean management" and "alleviating water scarcity around the world." The water crisis is an accute threat for all life on earth to which sustainability, ocean management and global cooperation seem to be the only solutions. In fact, we must take far-reaching measures aiming at averting the worst consequences before it's too late. Against this background, the world looks to the UNEP, with nervousness, hope and pleads for help. Is it capable of protecting our oceans, seas and water sources? Can it save marine life? And lastly, in an atmosphere of different interests and attitudes, will it find compromises where there have been conflicts? FMPTMUN 2023 invites high schoolers and college students to participate in this debate by performing as delegates in the FMPTMUN 2023 UNEP committee!
