Our Committees
WawMUN 2026 features 18 committees simulating the full spectrum of international bodies.
The only body with the authority to adopt resolutions binding to all states, primarily responsible for maintaining international peace and security. Identifies dangers, usually military, to collective security and authorises necessary measures, such as sanctions and use of force. Recommends new member states.
Negotiations resembling a diplomatic response to real historical events. Delegates negotiate and reach agreements based on their knowledge of the related historical context, creating an alternative past.
A subsidiary body of the Economic and Social Council, focusing on new technologies and scientific discoveries and controversies surrounding their use. Holds intergovernmental talks and advises the organisation on key matters related to scientific and technological progress.
The primary body tasked with promotion of gender equality, created in 2010 after the merging of four commissions related to the topic. Aims to protect women and girls and ensure their self-realisation in social, political and economical spheres of life.
Main UN authority responsible for strengthening human rights across the globe. Conducts regular reviews of human rights conditions among member states and provides a platform for addressing and investigating possible violations by appointing expert envoys and commissions to the areas affected.
The body responsible for managing environmental issues and protecting nature. Supports development of environmental science and the transition into green economy and establishes projects for the preservation of key natural areas or funding for ecological solutions among member states.
The Fourth Committee of the United Nations General Assembly, entrusted with a wide range of issues related to maintenance of peace and security as well as matters of decolonisation. Provides a comprehensive framework for peacekeeping and special missions, oversees the situation in non-self-governing territories and addresses possible dangers to security such as atomic contamination.
Cabinet conducting a simulation of a fast-paced political crisis, with the delegates facing rapidly changing scenarios. Allows for more freedom to shape the outcome of the committee via directives and negotiations.
The symbolic, collective "head of state" of the European Union, composed of leaders of European Union's member states. Responsible for defining shared European policy on various topics, including foreign relations. Ratifies and introduces changes to treaties and other relevant documents.
ECOSOC is where global ideas about development turn into real, actionable strategies. As one of the UN's main bodies, it connects governments with specialized agencies to tackle some of the world's biggest challenges, from poverty and education to public health and climate change. In MUN, ECOSOC tends to be a dynamic committee where discussions move between economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Delegates might find themselves debating women's rights in one session and pandemic response in the next. It's a space that rewards well-rounded thinking and the ability to link policy with real-world impact.
The World Trade Organization sits at the heart of global economic cooperation. It's the place where countries negotiate how trade should work and what happens when it doesn't. In this committee, delegates dive into the mechanics of international trade like tariffs, supply chains, subsidies, and disputes between states. Discussions often balance economic growth with fairness, making WTO debates especially relevant in today's interconnected world. Expect fast-paced negotiations and a strong focus on compromise.
Unlike most committees, the International Criminal Court doesn't revolve around drafting resolutions — instead, it simulates real legal proceedings. This committee brings justice into the MUN setting. Participants take on roles such as judges, prosecutors, or defense attorneys, working through cases involving genocide, war crimes, or crimes against humanity. It's less about diplomacy and more about argumentation, evidence, and legal reasoning. If you enjoy structured debate and thinking on your feet, ICC offers a completely different MUN experience.
Protecting children and ensuring they have the opportunity to thrive is what UNICEF focuses on in the first place. Debates in this committee often feel especially grounded in real-life impact, covering topics like access to education, child protection in conflict zones, healthcare, and nutrition. It's a space where policy meets humanity. Delegates are expected not only to propose solutions, but to consider how those solutions affect the most vulnerable.
UNODC deals with the darker side of global cooperation, such as crime, corruption, and security threats that cross borders. From drug trafficking and human trafficking to terrorism and cybercrime, this committee tackles complex issues that rarely have simple solutions. Delegates must think critically about enforcement, international cooperation, and the balance between security and human rights. It's a committee that challenges you to be both realistic and innovative.
DISEC is where questions of war, peace, and global security take center stage. It brings together countries to debate disarmament, military technology, and international stability. Topics often include nuclear weapons, cybersecurity, and emerging threats like autonomous weapon systems. DISEC is ideal for delegates who enjoy strategic thinking — balancing national interests with global responsibility, while navigating the constant tension between security and cooperation.
NATO is a political and military alliance of countries from North America and Europe founded on the principle of collective defense — an attack on one member is considered an attack on all. Beyond its core role in deterrence and defense, NATO also conducts peacekeeping operations, disaster relief missions, and capacity building programs for partner states. In recent years, it has been at the forefront of responding to regional crises, cyber threats, and great power competition, making it one of the most influential security organizations in the world.
WHO is at the forefront of global health and in MUN, that means tackling some of the most urgent challenges facing humanity. Whether it's preparing for future pandemics, addressing mental health, or combating antibiotic resistance, this committee requires both scientific awareness and policy thinking. Debates often highlight how deeply interconnected health systems are, and how cooperation can make or break global responses.
The Arab League is a regional organization of Arab countries that seeks to coordinate policies and strengthen ties among its members in political, economic, and cultural affairs. Established in 1945, it provides a forum for discussing regional conflicts, economic integration, and shared challenges such as refugees, water scarcity, and security threats. Although it often faces internal divisions, the League remains an important platform for collective Arab diplomacy and for presenting a unified voice on key international issues affecting the Middle East and North Africa.
