The Situation in Venezuela — Maintenance of International Peace and Security

About the committee

The Security Council meets to address the ongoing armed conflict in Venezuela and its implications for international peace, territorial integrity, sovereignty, and the security architecture of the European continent. The Council will assess continuing hostilities, the use of heavy weaponry in civilian areas, allegations of violations of international humanitarian law, and the destabilizing effect of foreign military support, sanctions regimes, and cross-border strikes. Delegates must examine compliance with the UN Charter—particularly Article 2(4) concerning the prohibition of the use of force—alongside the Council’s previous resolutions, the responsibilities of occupying powers, and the humanitarian consequences arising from mass displacement and critical infrastructure degradation. The Council must determine whether additional measures under Chapter VI or Chapter VII are warranted, including peacekeeping mandates, sanctions, arms-embargo mechanisms, or diplomatic initiatives aimed at achieving a sustainable ceasefire and restoring international peace and security.

1. TBA AT THE CONFERENCE
2. TO BE CHAIRED BY THE FOUNDER

About the committee

Comprising key state actors, the Council is mandated to assess real-time developments, coordinate cross-border emergency responses, and issue urgent directives under extreme time pressure. Traditional UN mechanisms have proven inadequate or deadlocked; consequently, the GECC operates in a continuous crisis format where decisions carry immediate consequences. Delegates must navigate intelligence uncertainty, geopolitical rivalry, and public pressure while balancing national interests with global stability. The Council’s effectiveness will determine whether the international system adapts or collapses under crisis.

State of Maharashtra (Prosecution) vs. Asha Verma (Defence)

About the committee

This case examines whether the Government of Maharashtra lawfully arrested Asha Verma for her online criticism of the surveillance policy. The Prosecution argues that her statements endangered public order and national security, justifying charges under UAPA and IPC 153A. The Defence contends that her speech is protected under Article 19(1)(a) and that the arrest violates Article 21 and established constitutional standards. The Court must determine whether the State’s actions meet the tests of proportionality, necessity, and reasonable restrictions under Article 19(2).

“Strengthening Global Education Systems for Inclusive and Quality Learning”

About the committee

Education is universally recognized as a fundamental human right and a cornerstone for sustainable development, peace, and social progress. Globally, access to quality education remains uneven, with millions of children and young adults facing barriers due to poverty, conflict, displacement, gender inequality, or lack of infrastructure. Despite international efforts, learning outcomes and literacy rates vary significantly across countries and regions, highlighting the ongoing need for targeted initiatives. In today’s rapidly changing world, technology offers both opportunities and challenges. Digital learning platforms, online resources, and innovative teaching methods can help bridge gaps, but many regions face difficulties in implementing these tools effectively. Teachers require continuous professional development to adapt to evolving curricula, new pedagogical methods, and inclusive practices that cater to diverse learning needs. Promoting education goes beyond classroom learning. It includes fostering critical thinking, creativity, and global citizenship to equip students with skills needed for the 21st century. Collaboration among international organizations, governments, and civil society is essential to develop policies that ensure equitable, accessible, and high-quality education for all. Furthermore, education systems must prioritize inclusivity by supporting children with disabilities, marginalized communities, and those affected by crises such as natural disasters or conflicts.

Reviewing National Security Measures and the Misuse of Surveillance & Data Collection Laws in India

About the committee

The committee will discuss the growing concerns surrounding national security laws, digital surveillance, and the protection of citizens’ privacy in India. With the expansion of data-collection systems, social-media monitoring, and stricter security legislation, questions have been raised about whether these measures strengthen national safety or allow the government to overstep constitutional limits. Delegates must evaluate if current policies effectively prevent terrorism and cyber threats, or whether they risk being misused for political targeting, suppression of dissent, and violations of fundamental rights. The discussion will also look at the role of political parties, state agencies, and civil society in shaping a transparent and accountable security framework. The goal of this AIPPM is to find a balanced approach that protects national security without compromising democracy, privacy, or individual freedoms.
