Committee of Security and Protection
Committee Description
The Protection & Security Committee focuses on the forces that quietly shape global stability; from concentrated wealth to transnational drug networks. Here, delegates examine how power, inequality, and criminal systems can weaken institutions and threaten societies far beyond borders. Delegates will have to look past surface-level crises and understand the structures behind them, balancing national interests with global responsibility. Ultimately, building proposals that not only respond to threats, but strengthen the systems meant to protect people in an increasingly complex world.
Topics
TOPIC A: Wealth Concentration as a Threat to Global Security
As some elite individuals accumulate more and more substantial wealth, wealth concentration is becoming increasingly pronounced. This committee will explore the importance of addressing the economic gap between the rich and the poor, with a particular focus on analyzing the question: Is wealth concentration a growing threat to global security? Delegates will have to analyze the power that these elite few contain, representing each a different country that is either benefited from said concentration, or hindered by the scarcity of resources and opportunities that result from it. As this divide continues to shape the modern world, delegates will seek to determine whether the accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few strengthens or destabilizes nations, and how this imbalance affects international relations, social cohesion, and global security.
TOPIC B: Drug Consumption
The global drug trade operates as an underground economy with evolving supply chains and financial systems that blur the line between legal and crime. This committee will explore how synthetic production, conflict-zone trafficking, and money-laundering networks sustain an industry that rivals legitimate markets in scale and sophistication. Delegates will analyze how illicit funds flow through shell companies, cryptocurrency, and trade-based laundering schemes, transforming criminal profit into global influence. Beyond addiction and health concerns, this debate will address how the drug trade reshapes governance, security, and corruption across borders. Ultimately, delegates must determine whether the world’s current strategies, which are focused on prohibition and punishment, truly reduce harm or merely fuel a system that keeps rewriting the rules of power.
