About

The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) stands as a cornerstone of the international human rights framework. As a subsidiary body of the United Nations General Assembly, the UNHRC is entrusted with the promotion and protection of human rights around the globe. From civil and political liberties to social, economic, and cultural rights, the Council serves as the international community’s primary platform for dialogue, review, and action on issues impacting the dignity and freedom of individuals everywhere.

This year, the committee will delve into some of the most pressing human rights challenges of our time — from the rights of children in conflict zones to the ethical treatment of refugees, the regulation of digital surveillance, and the fight against discrimination in all its forms. Delegates are expected to navigate sensitive topics with diplomacy, propose well-researched resolutions, and engage in thoughtful negotiation with an awareness of both global principles and national interests.

The work of this committee is more than simulation; it is a reflection of the enduring global pursuit for justice, equity, and the safeguarding of basic human dignity. As we simulate the sessions of the Human Rights Council, we invite delegates to carry forward the spirit of cooperation and to remember that each voice in the room is a voice for someone who may not be heard.

Let this session of the UNHRC be marked by respectful debate, evidence-based policymaking, and a shared commitment to defending human rights worldwide.

    About the committee

    1. Ensuring the Right to Peaceful Assembly and Addressing the Use of Excessive Force by Law Enforcement This agenda seeks to examine how states can uphold the right to peaceful protest while maintaining public order, in line with Article 21 of the ICCPR and Article 20 of the UDHR. It addresses the systemic use of excessive force by law enforcement during demonstrations and the criminalization of dissent. Delegates will assess case studies from various regions to propose actionable international frameworks for protecting civil liberties. 2. Addressing the Arbitrary Detention of Political Prisoners and the Misuse of Judicial Systems for Political Repression This topic focuses on safeguarding individuals against politically motivated detentions, enforced disappearances, and the misuse of anti-terror and judicial laws to silence opposition. Guided by ICCPR Articles 9 & 14 and the Convention Against Torture, delegates will explore the erosion of judicial independence and the global rise of state-led repression. Case studies will support the development of strategies ensuring accountability and fair legal processes.
