Venue: TBD

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) is one of the six principal organs of the United Nations and serves as its main deliberative, policymaking, and representative body. Comprising all 193 Member States, each with one equal vote, the General Assembly provides a global forum for multilateral discussion of the full spectrum of international issues covered by the UN Charter. 

From peace and security to sustainable development, human rights, and international law, the General Assembly addresses the most pressing challenges of our time. It is the only UN body where every member is equally represented, making it a vital space for diplomacy, consensus-building, and the articulation of global values.

The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is a UN body responsible for promoting and protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms around the world. Established in 2006, it replaced the former Commission on Human Rights and is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.

The Council is composed of 47 Member States, elected by the UN General Assembly and based on equitable regional representation. These members serve staggered three-year terms and are expected to uphold the highest standards of human rights.

Disarmament Commission

The United Nations Disarmament Commission (UNDC) is a subsidiary body of the UN General Assembly, established in 1952 to focus on the promotion of global disarmament and arms control.

Made up of all UN Member States, the UNDC serves as a deliberative body that meets annually in New York to develop recommendations on disarmament issues, particularly in the fields of nuclear weapons, conventional arms, and weapons of mass destruction.

Although it does not have the power to enforce treaties, the Commission plays a critical role in building international consensus, shaping norms, and laying the groundwork for multilateral arms control agreements.

Composed of 190 member countries, the IMF serves as a central institution for overseeing the international monetary system, providing policy advice, and financial support to countries facing economic instability.

Although it does not function as a global central bank, the IMF plays a vital role in maintaining economic stability, fostering sustainable growth, and facilitating international trade by encouraging coordinated economic governance.

Security

Council

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is one of the principal organs of the United Nations, established in 1945 under the UN Charter to maintain international peace and security.

Composed of fifteen members, including five permanent members with veto power—United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia, and China—and ten non-permanent members elected for two-year terms.

Unlike most other UN bodies, the Security Council has the authority to adopt legally binding resolutions, deploy peacekeeping forces, and authorize the use of force, making it the most powerful decision-making body within the United Nations system.
