Introducing our fifth committee... the Security Council!

The Security Council has primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. It has 15 Members, and each Member has one vote. Under the Charter of the United Nations, all Member States are obligated to comply with Council decisions.

The Security Council takes the lead in determining the existence of a threat to the peace or act of aggression. It calls upon the parties to a dispute to settle it by peaceful means and recommends methods of adjustment or terms of settlement. In some cases, the Security Council can resort to imposing sanctions or even authorize the use of force to maintain or restore international peace and security. The Security Council has primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security and it may meet whenever peace is threatened.

At ReadiMUN 2019 our Security Council held debate on 'The Question of the DRC and the Problems of Peace Missions' and 'The Question of Reviewing the role of the security council in relation to China's Trade Agreements and other International Commitments'. If you have an exciting idea for this year's UNSC topics, and would love to chair this committee at ReadiMUN 2020 then head to our MyMUN page to apply now! https://mymun.com/muns/readimun-2020

Introducing our fourth committee... the Human Rights Council!

The Human Rights Council is an inter-governmental body within the United Nations system responsible for strengthening the promotion and protection of human rights around the globe and for addressing situations of human rights violations and make recommendations on them. It has the ability to discuss all thematic human rights issues and situations that require its attention throughout the year.

The UNHRC was created by the United Nations General Assembly on 15 March 2006 by resolution 60/251, with its first session taking place from 19 to 30 June 2006. It meets at the UN Office at Geneva. The Council is made up of 47 United Nations Member States which are elected by the UN General Assembly. The Human Rights Council replaced the former United Nations Commission on Human Rights.

At ReadiMUN 2019 our Human Rights Council held debate on 'The Question of Climate change and the challenges for the human rights system' and
'The Question of women’s health and Reproductive rights'. If you have an exciting idea for this year's UNHRC topics, and would love to chair this committee at ReadiMUN 2020 then head to our MyMUN page to apply now! https://mymun.com/muns/readimun-2020

Introducing our third committee... the European Council!

The European Council defines the EU's overall political direction and priorities. It is not one of the EU's legislating institutions, so does not negotiate or adopt EU laws. Instead it sets the EU's policy agenda, traditionally by adopting 'conclusions' during European Council meetings which identify issues of concern and actions to take. More recently, the European Council adopted a 'strategic agenda' of priority areas for longer-term EU action and focus.

At ReadiMUN 2019 our European Council held debate on 'The Question of Forced Labour and modern slavery in North Africa and the Middle East, and its impact on immigration into the EU' and 'The Question of the Expansion of the common EU defence policy'. If you have an exciting idea for this year's ECOSOC topics, and would love to chair this committee at ReadiMUN 2020 then head to our MyMUN page to apply now! https://mymun.com/muns/readimun-2020

Introducing our next committee... the Economic and Social Council!

The Economic and Social Council is at the heart of the United Nations system to advance the three dimensions of sustainable development – economic, social and environmental. It is the central platform for fostering debate and innovative thinking, forging consensus on ways forward, and coordinating efforts to achieve internationally agreed goals. It is also responsible for the follow-up to major UN conferences and summits. The UN Charter established ECOSOC in 1945 as one of the six main organs of the United Nations.

At ReadiMUN 2019 our ECOSOC topics were 'The Question of Illicit Petroleum – The Oil Black Market' and
'The Question of E-commerce and the rise of Illicit Trade'. If you have an exciting idea for this year's ECOSOC topics, and would love to chair this committee at ReadiMUN 2020 then head to our MyMUN page to apply now! https://mymun.com/muns/readimun-2020

Introducing the first of our six committees... NATO!

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is a military alliance established by the North Atlantic Treaty (also known as the Washington Treaty) of April 4, 1949, which sought to create a counterweight to Soviet armies stationed in central and eastern Europe following World War II. Its original members were Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and the United States, though today it includes a great many countries who have become signatories in the years since its establishment. The purpose of NATO can be summed up by Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, in which the signatory members agree that

"An armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all; and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defense recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area."

ReadiMUN 2019 featured a NATO Summit on inclusive unity in global security. If you have an exciting idea for this year's NATO topic, and would love to chair this committee at ReadiMUN 2020 then head to our MyMUN page to apply now! https://mymun.com/muns/readimun-2020
