Disarmament and International Security Committee

Topic Summary

Delegates will examine the expanding role of drones, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), in humanitarian and warfare operations. While drones have increased humanitarian efforts across the world, their increased usage in military operations has raised concerns surrounding international security. In the October session, delegates will address the use of armed drones in the fields of oversight while managing accountability and regulation under international law. In the December session, delegates will address privacy concerns and the implications of drone technology on surveillance and intelligence. Delegates will establish international frameworks that promote the responsible use of drones that prioritize global security.
