Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice
Topic Summary
In the CCPCJ, delegates will discuss how member states should approach the detention and future treatment of foreign nationals without legal status. In particular, it will discuss standards of detention and the obligations for member states to remove nationals from detention as quickly as possible. Delegates will debate what the obligation of states is in the case where deporting a foreign national conflicts with a non-refoulement obligation due to a detainee fearing persecution or death if deported back to their home country. The committee will also debate the controversial practice of deportation to a third country, which has been discussed/implemented by various Western countries recently.
Dear Delegates,
I am a junior in Currier House studying Government and Economics. I was first involved in Model UN in high school in Sydney, Australia, where I both competed and helped organize conferences. At Harvard, I have previously served as an assistant director for HMUN and a director at HMUN Australia. I am excited to return this year as the Director of the CCPCJ.
Outside of Model UN, I am involved in the debating union, political review as well as a non-profit consulting club. In my spare time, I like playing board/card games with his blocking group, biking down the Charles river, trying new restaurants and watching movies and sitcoms. I’m so excited to meet everyone in January!
Sincerely,
Darshanik Aryal
Director, Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice
