The Kashmir Dilemma: The India-Pakistan Dispute and International Peacebuilding

About the committee

The UN General Assembly Emergency Special Session, convened under the "Uniting for Peace" resolution (1950), is a powerful mechanism that allows the General Assembly to act when the Security Council is deadlocked due to a lack of unanimity among its permanent members. In MUN, this expert-level committee challenges delegates to respond rapidly to global crises — including armed conflicts, humanitarian disasters, and threats to international peace — by drafting urgent resolutions, coordinating international action, and working under immense diplomatic pressure. Delegates must demonstrate deep knowledge of UN procedures, international law, and complex geopolitical dynamics while balancing national interests with the collective responsibility to maintain global stability.
