La Organización de Estados Americanos, nació oficialmente en 1948 con la firma de su carta de fundación en Bogotá aunque sus orígenes se remontan a 1890. Integrada por 35 Estados miembros y 70 Estados observadores permanentes, entre ellos la Unión Europea, su misión es promover la paz, la justicia y los derechos humanos, así como fortalecer la cooperación continental y el diálogo en las Américas. Para alcanzar estos objetivos, la Organización basa su acción en 4 pilares: democracia, derechos humanos, seguridad y desarrollo.

About the committee

Established in 2006, to replace one of the UN's founding bodies in the Human Rights Commission, the United Nations Human Rights Council is tasked with strengthening the promotion and protection of human rights around the globe and addressing situations of human rights violations by making recommendations on them. The scope of its mandate means that it can be called upon to address a wide variety of situations and topics making discussions within it both incredibly diverse and important. For MUNUSAL 2024 the Council will be one of two Intermediate-level committees, where those with some MUN experience can part take in lively debate on multi-faceted topics and put their rhetorical skills to the test.

About the committee

Seasoned participants of MUNs already know this committee well, and that’s exactly who it is designed for. The United Nations Security Council will be MUNUSAL 2024's expert-level committee, having many specific rules of procedure as well as a lot of responsibility in the decisions being made. It is the most powerful body of the United Nations and rightfully so, as it is the only one with the mandate to impose sanctions and authorize the use of force. Want to be one of the members of this committee which will be deciding on the most pressing international and regional issues? Then this committee is for you.

About the committee

The European Commission as it stands today was officially established by the Treaty of Lisbon in 2007, having existed under other names since the creation of the European Union’s predecessors in 1951. It is one of the 5 main bodies of the EU and works both as part of the executive and legislative branches of the Union. It is comprised of 27 “commissioners”, one for each member state, and works as a cabinet, where each commissioner holds a specific portfolio. It is presided over by the president of the European Commission, currently, Ursula Von der Leyen, who is appointed by the European Council. In MUNUSAL 2024, it will be one of two intermediate-level committees, designed for those who already have some MUN experience. The committee is perfect for those interested in a unique debating experience and who want to put their debate skills into practice and further advance their knowledge of the inner workings of the European Union.
