    Topic

    Addressing the proliferation and management of space debris issue in Low Earth Orbit

    About the committee

    The Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) was established in 1959 to promote international cooperation in the exploration and peaceful use of outer space. It plays a central role in developing international space law, ensuring that space activities benefit all humankind and are conducted responsibly and sustainably. With growing interest in satellite technology, space mining, and the militarization of space, COPUOS faces the challenge of balancing innovation with regulation. This committee offers chairs the chance to guide delegates through complex debates on governance beyond Earth, where diplomacy, science, and security intersect in humanity’s final frontier.

    Discussing the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum

    About the committee

    The European Council is the highest political body of the European Union, bringing together the Heads of State or Government of all EU member states to define the Union’s overall political direction and priorities. Unlike other EU institutions, it does not legislate but sets the strategic agenda that guides the work of the Council of the EU and the European Commission. Debates within the European Council often revolve around key issues such as economic governance, migration, foreign policy, and EU enlargement. This committee invites chairs to oversee dynamic discussions reflecting the complexity of European politics, balancing national interests with the pursuit of a common European vision.

    The Use of Self-Defence Under Article 51 of the UN Charter and Its implications for International Peace and Security

    About the committee

    The UN Security Council (UNSC) is one of the United Nations’ principal organs, responsible for maintaining international peace and security. It is the only UN body empowered to adopt legally binding resolutions and authorize the use of force under Chapters VI and VII of the UN Charter. However, its work is often hindered by political gridlock caused by the veto power of its five permanent members. This committee is ideal for chairs seeking to navigate high-stakes diplomacy, manage intense debate, and guide delegates through some of the most pressing issues on today’s global agenda.
