The UNSC stands as the guardian of international peace and security.
How can the Council adapt to new global threats while maintaining legitimacy?
Delegates will debate crisis response, peacekeeping mandates, and the evolving nature of conflict in the 21st century.
Will reforms strengthen or weaken the Council’s authority?
Targeted assassinations have become a contentious tool in the global fight
against terrorism, with states employing covert operations to eliminate
perceived threats. While proponents argue that such measures are necessary for
national security, critics warn of their potential to violate international law,
undermine the rule of law, and set dangerous precedents for extrajudicial action.
This committee will examine the legal and ethical boundaries of targeted
killings, considering their implications for human rights, state sovereignty, and
the sanctity of international humanitarian law. Delegates will debate the
legitimacy of these tactics in the context of counter-terrorism, the role of
oversight mechanisms, and the need for accountability to prevent abuses. The
agenda calls for a nuanced approach that balances security imperatives with the
protection of fundamental rights, ensuring that the fight against terrorism does
not erode the very values it seeks to defend.
