    Re-evaluating UN involvement in the DR Congo

    About the committee

    The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) remains a flashpoint for conflict, humanitarian crises, and international intervention. The UNSC will take a deep dive into the UN’s peacekeeping mission (MONUSCO) in the DRC. Delegates will be tasked with critically analyzing MONUSCO's effectiveness in fostering peace, stability, and development in the region. Has the UN's strategies aligned with the realities on the ground or should the Council explore new approaches to aid a nation in turmoil?
