COMMITTEES AND TOPICS
Venue: 1619
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.

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.
