Resolving tensions in maritime security and easing trade requires a multifaceted approach. Enhancing international cooperation and strengthening legal frameworks like UNCLOS are crucial. Improving maritime surveillance and security deters threats like piracy. Promoting sustainable practices ensures the long-term viability of shipping routes. Developing infrastructure and streamlining trade policies facilitate smoother trade. Addressing non-traditional threats through international cooperation is essential. Capacity building and public-private partnerships further bolster maritime capabilities. These strategies collectively promote secure, efficient, and viable international shipping routes, fostering global trade and economic growth.

UNGA-DISEC

The reopening of Alaskan Arctic waters for hydrocarbon development has heightened interest in Arctic resources, sparking concerns about potential conflicts due to rising stakes and weak regulations. Oil and gas are seen as the commodities most likely to cause conflict, given global demand and political instability in traditional extraction areas. While ownership of Arctic resources is usually clear, and private property rights control access, the real conflict potential lies in environmental risks associated with extraction, not in violent disputes. These environmental dangers, rather than conflict over resources, pose the actual challenges ahead.

UNSC

"Investigating human rights violations in current conflict zones involves gathering evidence and documenting abuses to hold perpetrators accountable. This requires on-the-ground fact-finding missions, interviews with victims and witnesses, and the use of technology for data collection. Formulating strategies to safeguard civilians includes establishing safe zones, providing humanitarian aid, and enhancing international cooperation to prevent further abuses. Bringing violators to justice involves legal action through international courts, sanctions, and supporting local judicial systems to ensure accountability and deter future violations."

UNHRC

"Path to Progress: Accessing Current Challenges and Crafting a Comprehensive Roadmap for Achieving the Vision of Viksit Bharat 2047" involves a detailed analysis of India's socio-economic, political, and environmental hurdles. This includes addressing issues such as poverty, education, healthcare, infrastructure, and sustainability. Crafting a comprehensive roadmap requires strategic planning, stakeholder collaboration, and policy reforms. It involves leveraging technology, fostering innovation, ensuring inclusive growth, and strengthening governance to transform India into a developed nation by 2047."

Lok Sabha

The Emergency in India, lasting from June 25, 1975, to March 21, 1977, was declared by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi under Article 352 of the Constitution due to "internal disturbance." This period granted Gandhi authority to rule by decree, suspend elections, and curtail civil liberties. Political opponents were jailed, the press was censored, and human rights violations occurred, including a mass sterilization campaign led by her son Sanjay Gandhi. Initiated by Chief Minister Siddhartha Shankar Ray and supported by Gandhi's loyalists, the Emergency remains a controversial chapter in Indian history, reflecting the abuse of power and suppression of democracy.

The International Press in Model United Nations (MUN) plays a crucial role in simulating real-world journalism by covering the proceedings of the conference. Delegates representing various media organizations report on debates, write articles, conduct interviews, and publish newsletters. They act as the bridge between committees and the broader MUN community, ensuring transparency and holding delegates accountable. Their work not only enriches the conference experience but also hones their skills in research, writing, and critical thinking.
