    About the committee

    The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is a global leader in the fight against illicit drugs, international crime, corruption, and terrorism. Established in 1997 through a merger of the United Nations International Drug Control Programme and the Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Division, its primary purpose is to assist member states in building safe, secure societies by strengthening legal frameworks and improving international cooperation. L’ONUDC exerce un double mandat axé sur la lutte contre la drogue et la prévention du crime, ce qui lui permet de sensibiliser le public aux dangers de l’abus de drogues et d’aider les gouvernements à mettre en œuvre les traités internationaux. Ce comité fonctionnera en mode bilingue, les deux langues étant utilisées conjointement dans les discours, les résolutions et les négociations.

    Strenghtening EES/ETIAS : humanitarian standards and fundamental rights into Frontex operations at the EU's external borders

    About the committee

    The European Border and Coast Guard Agency founded in 2004, commonly known as Frontex, from frontières extérieures, is an agency of the European Union headquartered in Warsaw, Poland. In coordination with the border and coast guards of member states, it exercises border control of the European Schengen Area, a task within the area of freedom, security and justice domain. Formally, the Agency's remit is to "support Member States on the ground in their efforts to protect the external borders"; it does not have authority to act otherwise unless external border control "is rendered ineffective to such an extent that it risks jeopardising the functioning of the Schengen area".

    Wanted: The manhunt of Jan Marsalek

    About the committee

    The International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) is an intergovernmental body that enables 196 member countries to coordinate law enforcement efforts and share critical data to combat transnational crime. Operating under a strict mandate of political and military neutrality, INTERPOL does not have autonomous powers of arrest; instead, it empowers national police forces by providing a secure communications network, managing global criminal databases, and issuing international alerts like Red Notices to track fugitives. Through this infrastructure, the organization fulfills its core purpose of assisting member states in preventing and investigating global security threats, focusing heavily on counter-terrorism, cybercrime, and organized crime networks. Which is why this year's committee will undergo an innovative format of a semi-crisis, operating like a normal committee with the exception of having to face updates throughout the days. As a delegate, your resolutions and directives will constantly evolve as the situation progresses.

    Tehran Collapses: The Kurdish Revolution and the Fate of Iran's Nuclear Stockpile

    About the committee

    The UNSC is one of the principal organs of the UN which is tasked with upholding international peace and security. It is the only UN body which can take legally binding decisions or authorise the use of force under chapters 6 and 7 of the UN Charter, but often deadlocks due to the veto right of the five permanent members.
