About the committee

This committee simulates Tunisia's periodic review process before the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). Participants take on the role of committee members, representatives of the Tunisian government and special rapporteurs. The debate focuses on the state of application of the CEDAW Convention in Tunisia, the progress made in terms of gender equality, the persistent challenges (structural discrimination, gender-based violence, women's economic and social rights), and the concrete recommendations that the committee could make. The committee encourages in-depth reflection on the tensions between legislative reform and socio-cultural realities.

About the committee

A 30-year-old woman called Adriana Smith was found unresponsive after days of complaining about headaches. She's rushed to the nearest hospital, where she is pronounced brain-dead. Yet, the hospital officials kept her on life support since the woman was nine weeks pregnant. She and her unborn fetus are considered two individual patients, and the life of the second patient , whether her family wants that or not, has to be kept. This callous disregard of the patient and her family’s grief is the consequence of the Georgia’s Living Infants Fairness and Equality (LIFE) Act , first introduced in 2019 but not enforced until 2022. This legislation prohibits terminating a pregnancy once cardiac movement is detected, which can be anywhere from weeks six through nine of pregnancy. Is this a medical case, an ethical nightmare, or just another episode of people of color being the canaries in the coal mines and how much political dogma can be packed into one hospital room? Buckle up, because the Supreme Court is in session , the verdict is still out, and it might be yours to write. This isn’t just another simulation: it’s a courtroom drama where law meets life support and politics pulls the plug.

About the committee

Greenland, the world’s largest island, cloaked in ice, rich in untapped resources, and strategically located between North America and Europe, is now… an island rising geopolitical tension. In a near-future twist on real events, the United States, long interested in Greenland’s military and economic potential, takes bold and controversial steps to assert control over the island. Back in 1946, President Truman famously offered to buy Greenland for $100 million. The idea was ridiculed back then but never entirely shelved. Fast forward to the 21st century, climate change unlocks massive rare earth mineral deposits, new Arctic shipping lanes emerge, and military dominance in the polar region becomes a pressing issue. With Greenland’s autonomy under Denmark and its indigenous Inuit population raising concerns, the U.S. interest becomes more aggressive from increased bases to political interference, and eventually, an audacious move that looks eerily like occupation. Greenland becomes more than just a territory , it becomes a prize, a pawn, and a problem. As the world watches, questions shift : what makes this precarious situation more complicated and worrisome is the presence of both the assailant and the victim under the umbrella of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization with its famous principle regarding aggression on one of the member states, enshrined in article 5 of its charter. This is not just speculation. Its law, power, and politics colliding in ice-cold reality. Welcome to the simulation. And remember: this time, Greenland isn’t staying silent !
