UNHRC
Agenda: Reviewing the alleged human rights violations in the Guantanamo Bay
For decades, Guantanamo Bay has stood at the center of global debates on detention, justice, and human rights. In this committee, delegates will review allegations of human rights violations and examine their legal, ethical, and geopolitical implications. Through discussion, participants will consider accountability, international law, and possible pathways toward transparency, reform, or closure while weighing security concerns against fundamental human rights.

She walks to the stage. Her enemies shaken. Her allies in trepidation. The chairs in eager anticipation, and almost everyone in the room teetering, as she began to break the fog of silence with her voice. “Under the Sea just like Xi Jingping’s brain!” she exclaimed, thundering to the audience. The room stood in shock as they had witnessed her extraordinary humour. She was immediately nominated for 6 Oscars, 5 Grammys and 8 Emmys. It was at that moment the people in the audience knew, they were witnessing a MUN protege at work. From the most obscure allocations imaginable, to almost unwinnable awards. Tackling diplomacy, fiery dramatics and leadership, all at once. The person fitting this description? Aanya Baxi. As a chair, she shows insightful judgment and intellect, puts delegates through riveting, gratifying situations, and will (hopefully) display some of the most phenomenal chairing you’ll see. With the largest committee, she has equally large expectations from all of her delegates — well-thought out, factually backed speeches, confident dramatics and passionate MUNers. As one of her delegates in her committee, do not be frightened by her. Though ruthless as a delegate, as a chair, she will be your mentor, assisting you in any matters, both before, during and after the conference. She is more than excited to meet all her delegates, and hopes to give you a phenomenal MUN experience! (Written by Vihaan Arora)
Meet Divye Arora a fiercely opinionated and witty delegate, who is sure to captivate and amuse any executive board with his pop culture and asian food references. As someone who started his MUN journey at one of the largest conferences in India, HMUN, and has, since then, continued to stand out in every committee for his incredibly detailed research, inspiring confidence, and horrendous fake accents, having Divye as your chair definitely ensures an unforgettable experience (though not necessarily in a good way). To get on his good side, (which is still quite the challenge, even for us), be sure to at least remotely acknowledge either Taylor Swift, Lando Norris, or all things Japanese, because aside from his obnoxiously obsessive study habits, they're the only things he believes are worth his time. Nonetheless, anybody lucky enough to be a delegate in Divye's committee is in for a hilarious, enlightening, and exciting experience, as he will try his best to guide and entertain every single delegate, proving to be one of the best chairs you’ll ever have.
