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.

She fell in love with the activity and community, and became very involved in the Harvard International Relations Council on and off Harvard’s campus. She has directed at HNMUN Boston 2026, HNMUN-LA 2026, and HMUN Dubai 2027 and serves as Under-Secretary-General of Committees for both HMUN Canada and HMUN India 2026. She absolutely loves her role as Under-Secretary-General of Finance for HMUN Boston 2027, but is even more excited to staff HMUN Online this year!
Outside of MUN, Kaitlin enjoys traveling, cooking food from different cuisines, reading thriller novels, painting, and is an avid New York Times-games player.
