The UNHRC is at the forefront of defending and promoting human rights globally.
How can the Council address emerging challenges and ensure accountability?
Delegates will discuss humanitarian crises, freedom of expression, and the evolving landscape of rights in the digital age.
Will new resolutions drive real change?
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping the landscape of state surveillance
and law enforcement, offering unprecedented capabilities for crime prevention
and public safety. However, the deployment of AI systems raises profound
human rights concerns, including risks to privacy, freedom of expression, and
the potential for systemic bias and discrimination. International human rights
law demands that states and private actors ensure AI applications respect
fundamental rights and do not exacerbate existing inequalities. This committee
will scrutinize the ethical and legal dimensions of AI in policing and
surveillance, exploring the responsibilities of governments and corporations to
implement safeguards, ensure transparency, and uphold accountability.
Delegates will debate how to balance security imperatives with the protection of
civil liberties, and consider the role of international oversight in monitoring AI-
driven practices to prevent abuses and promote trust in digital governance.
