Punic Wars
On one side stands Rome, forged by discipline, hardened by defeat, and driven by an unbreakable will to expand a republic that turns loss into resolve, and resolve into dominion. Facing it stands Carthage, born of the sea, sustained by trade, and elevated by wealth and strategic brilliance a power whose strength lies not in numbers, but in mastery. One fights to dominate. The other fights to survive.

Escalation in the Taiwan Strait and Threat to International Peace and Security
A conflict that has been rising for almost a century: Taiwan and China are not only in a political standoff, but are also geographically restricted. On one hand, there is the mega power, leading the world with the Permanent Five; on the other hand, a land that struggles even to be recognised. With China's recent tour de force and Taiwan's unwavering stance, a new Cold War could be awaiting us… or is it getting hotter?

H-ECSC (European Coal and Steel Community)
Signing of the Paris Treaty, 1951
After the events of World War II, The Economic Coal and Steel Community was born, being the predecessor of the European Union. The organizations main goal was to distribute coal and steel rations and manage the coal and steel industries. And with the signage of the Paris Treaty in 1951, the Community became a supranational governance body and officially established itself. But the treaty did not come without its flaws including resource management, trade regulation and conflict preventions which occurred because of shared economic interest and resources. How can the committee evaluate the economical and political significance of the Community, and re-sign the Paris Treaty in order to achieve the Communities previously failed economic goals?

Preventing the Arms Race in Outer Space
With the limits of technology reaching beyond the Earth, nations have began expanding their global peacekeeping forces beyond the Earths stratosphere. The militarization of outer space came with major trust issues and security concerns between nations, which has led to increasingly more heated debates about the risks of weaponization, protection of the space assets and preserving space as a peaceful domain. Can nations cooperate beyond borders and our planet?

ECOFIN
Improving the Access to Micro-Finance Programs and Small Enterprise Development Programs
With small and medium sized enterprises making up more that 96% of worldwide companies, these enterprises are indubitably a core piece of worldwide economics. And with access to Micro-Finance programs and Small Enterprise Development Programs becoming increasingly harder to benefit from due to regulatory barriers, the future of these businesses are in obscurity. How can the committee help lift these barriers and put their nations's economies on good footing?

Addressing Health Determinants and the Root Causes of Ill Health in Key Policies Across Sectors
When it comes to health, social, economic, environmental, and political determinants are at play at local, national and also global levels. Nations' policies when approaching these Health determinants across different sectors must move beyond healthcare delivery to analyze how structural factors such as income inequality, education, housing, food systems, labor conditions and environmental policy contribute to disparities in health and access to healthcare. Can the nations agree on health policies and help strengthen health through multisectoral actions?
