About the committee

The committee examines conflict below the threshold of conventional war, especially when states work through proxies and preserve plausible deniability. The brief centres on attribution, illicit arms flows and civilian protection.

The room ends with a draft resolution with recommendatory action for the General Assembly.

What it has to settle

  1. How should states attribute hostile activity without turning suspicion into proof?
  2. Which existing arms control and counter-terrorism mechanisms can be used now?
  3. How can a resolution address state sponsorship while respecting DISEC's mandate?
