DISEC – Disarmament and International Security Committee

The first committee of the General Assembly and a first for Vancouver MUN, the Disarmament and International Security Committee is designed to deal with, as the name suggests, issues of global arms and security. With the increasing proliferation of nuclear weapons and perceived world security threats such as North Korea, Iran, and others, DISEC continues to have a growing role on the world stage. This committee will make recommendations and create policies which may work in tandem with other UN committees such as the Security Council. However, all nations belong to DISEC, and so it is an extremely crucial venue for open, creative, and important debate. Topics such as nuclear disarmament and terrorism are examples of previous DISEC topics in the UN.
