Legal Committee
Topic Summary
In the Legal committee, delegates will examine the growing challenge of cybercrime and cyberwarfare as an opportunity for increased international cooperation. As cyberattacks increase, the international community will need to develop global responses to these forms of attack. In the October session, delegates will address the case study of Goznym Malware as an example of transnational cybercrime. In the December session, delegates will examine various case studies of cyberwarfare as an area of pressing potential threat. Delegates will be forced to assess the impacts of these new forms of attacks and create legal frameworks to mitigate their impact.
My name is Ozzie Comer, and I am from Plattsburgh, New York. I am currently a sophomore at Harvard College, where I plan to concentrate in Government and Philosophy. I have been involved in Model UN since high school, and I have loved every minute of the experience. At Harvard, I am a member of the Harvard Intercollegiate Model UN team, as well as an Assistant Director for both the HMUN and HNMUN conferences. Serving as both a Director and a delegate has been an amazing experience every step of the way. Outside of Model UN, I enjoy spending time outdoors through hiking, running, and camping whenever I can.
I am extremely excited to direct the legal committee at HMUN Online 2026! I am super excited to see how delegates chose to address the relevant and pressing issues of cyber crime and cyber attacks within out increasingly technologically dependent world. Delegates should approach the topic with creativity and technicality to create realistic but innovative solutions to adress the problem at hand.
