Economic and Social Council
The Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) governs approximately 70% of the United Nations’ human and financial resources, promoting it to a highly influential position in the world today.
At HMUN, ECOSOC committees are mid-sized at 30 to 80 students each. Due to their ideal size, these committees allow delegates to not only be challenged by diverse perspectives, but take the floor multiple times, offering a unique opportunity to engage in intense, yet intimate debate. These committees are perfect for both new delegates and seasoned delegates.
