Disarmament and International Security Committee
Double Delegation
Topic Summary
The Disarmament and International Security Committee will tackle the rising issues regarding artificial intelligence in cyber security and the cost of globalization alongside the proliferation of human trafficking. For the first topic pertaining to artificial intelligence, this topic will include discussions surrounding advancements in artificial intelligence and its usage within governments, whether it is safe enough to allow AI around government information. In addition, we will be discussing the inequality amongst countries and their access to this type of technology, and solutions to advancing AI globally to help create a more modern world. AI continues to learn and grow every second, handling new information and expanding its capabilities; however, it remains an uncertain factor, leaving governments questioning whether it has the capabilities to advance governments without jeopardizing the information it grants AI. This committee will address the concerns regarding modern technological advancements and its impacts on international security.
Dear Delegates,
My name is Megan Martinez, and I am thrilled to be your chair for the Disarmament and International Security Committee at HMUN 2026! I am originally from Tustin, California, but am grateful to now call Harvard my home away from home. I am currently a freshman at Harvard College concentrating in Government with a secondary in economics, focusing on international relations. At the college, I compete and dance with the Harvard Crimson Dance Team, and serve as the Director of Communications. I also lead Voters Choose, a nonpartisan organization on campus that promotes democracy reforms through civic education and civic engagement. In addition, I am grateful to serve as the Communications Assistant for Harvard College, helping manage our social media and working media at our events. Lastly, I serve as a Peer Advising Fellow, and participate in a variety of foreign policy and various advocacy organizations on campus.
I have always loved international relations and founded the Rosary Academy Model United Nations team during high school. As one of the only all-girls MUN teams in the nation, our team made history, as our students were introduced to the world of diplomacy. Serving as the President throughout high school, I was fortunate to lead our team, while competing and finding my love for MUN. Continuing my passion for MUN, I joined the Harvard Intercollegiate Model United Nations team at the start of my freshman year, and have loved competing on the college circuit. Currently, I serve as a Director of Public Relations for the International Relations Council’s recruitment board, and am excited to direct at HMUN this year!
Model United Nations holds a special place in my heart, and I can’t wait for this committee to tackle global issues through debate, diplomacy, and creative resolutions! Throughout the weekend, I will be looking for delegates who are actively uplifting one another, and creating an environment of collaboration and creativity. Diplomacy is about compromise and coopetition, or cooperative competition, and I am excited for this committee to create solutions for leading global issues. I am looking forward to meeting all of you, and please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Megan Martinez
Director, Disarmament and International Security Committee
