  • United Nations General Assembly

    UNGA

    The United Nations General Assembly is one of the six main organs of the UN, serving as the main forum for all member states to discuss and coordinate on international issues. It is the only UN organ where all 193 member states are represented, making it a truly universal body. The General Assembly meets annually in regular sessions, convening additional special sessions as needed.

    The General Assembly addresses a wide range of issues, such as peace and security, development, human rights, and international law. Its primary functions include considering and approving the UN budget, electing non-permanent members to the Security Council, appointing the Secretary-General, and providing a platform for member states to express their views on global issues. It provides a platform for discussion, negotiations, and the formulation of resolutions that guide the work of the UN and its specialized agencies.

    In the General Assembly, each member state is entitled to one vote, and decisions on most issues require a two-thirds majority. However, a simple majority may decide certain procedural matters. In recent years, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has become instrumental in overcoming potential P5 vetoes in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Confronted with issues where the interests of certain P5 members or their allies could hinder progress, the UNGA has played a crucial role in securing widespread support among member states. This has led to the successful passage of resolutions that might have faced obstacles in the UNSC, underscoring the UNGA's ability to address global concerns and promote collective action, even in the face of potential veto threats.

  • Futuristic European Council

    FuturisticEUCO

    The European Council stands as a pivotal institution within the framework of the European Union (EU), playing a central role in shaping the direction and policies of the Union. Informally established in 1974 and confirmed in the 2009 Treaty of Lisbon, the European Council is a unique entity that brings together the heads of state or government of the EU member countries, along with the President of the European Council and the President of the European Commission. This high-profile gathering occurs at least four times a year, serving as a forum for strategic discussions and decision-making on crucial issues facing the European Union.

    Unlike other EU institutions, the European Council does not possess legislative powers. Instead, its primary function lies in providing political impetus and setting the overall direction for the EU. The discussions held during these summit meetings delve into a wide range of topics, including economic policies, foreign affairs, security, and other pressing matters affecting the member states. Through consensus-building and diplomatic negotiations, the European Council seeks to address common challenges, foster cooperation, and enhance the unity of the EU.

    In C'MUN 2024, delegates will navigate a simulated future setting, envisioning the discussions, powers, and situations that the European Council could encounter and address. The committee will delve into speculative scenarios that transcend the current geopolitical landscape, allowing participants to explore innovative solutions to emerging challenges. Delegates will grapple with issues that may reshape the dynamics of the European Union in the years to come, contemplating the evolving role of the European Council in a rapidly changing world. This forward-looking approach will encourage delegates to think critically about European integration's future, anticipate potential crises, and strategise on the Council's response mechanisms.

Established in 1945 under the UN Charter, the UNSC operates to prevent conflicts and address threats to global stability.

The council's multifaceted responsibilities include authorizing peacekeeping missions, imposing sanctions, and intervening in crises to uphold the principles of the UN Charter. As a dynamic forum for international discourse and decision-making, the UNSC plays a crucial role in shaping the course of global affairs and striving towards a world free from the scourge of war.
