About the committee

Agenda: Regulating asteroid mining and ensuring equitable access to extraterrestrial resources. As humanity advances toward large-scale resource extraction in space, questions of ownership, equity, and sustainability dominate international debate. UNOOSA will deliberate on the creation of a comprehensive global framework to regulate asteroid mining, balancing the interests of pioneering private companies with the rights of all nations. Delegates must grapple with issues of legality, ethics, and technological disparity to ensure that outer space remains a domain of shared prosperity.

About the committee

Agenda: Preventing the militarization and weaponization of outer space. The final frontier risks becoming the next battlefield. With the deployment of satellites for surveillance, missile defense, and even experimental weaponry, tensions among global powers are escalating. The UNSC will address how to prevent space from becoming militarized while ensuring global security. Delegates must balance national defense priorities with the urgent need for collective peace in Earth’s orbit and beyond.

Agenda: Preserving cultural heritage and ethics in space colonization. Beyond the technical challenges of space exploration lies a deeply human concern: the preservation of identity, culture, and ethical responsibility. As plans for lunar settlements and Martian colonies take shape, UNESCO will debate frameworks to ensure that humanity’s cultural heritage is respected in extraterrestrial environments. Delegates will explore the ethics of planetary naming, interplanetary art and history, and the responsibilities of spacefaring nations toward collective human dignity.

Agenda: Human health challenges in long-duration space missions. Radiation exposure, bone density loss, mental health, and genetic stability—these are only some of the medical challenges facing astronauts on prolonged journeys. WHO will examine the global implications of medical research in space and its applications on Earth. Delegates must evaluate policies for international collaboration on space medicine, the ethical use of biotechnology, and equitable access to healthcare innovations derived from space research.

About the committee

Agenda: Drafting the first constitution for a self-sustaining Martian colony. It is the year 2050. Humanity has successfully established its first colony on Mars. As resources, governance, and cultural identity come into question, the Mars Council will debate the creation of the first interplanetary constitution. Delegates will represent factions of colonists, Earth-based governments, and private corporations as they negotiate laws, rights, and responsibilities that will shape the destiny of humankind beyond Earth.
