World Health Organization (WHO) Committee

Committee Introduction
The World Health Organization (WHO), established on April 7, 1948 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, is a specialized United Nations agency comprising 194 member states. Under the leadership of Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (since 2017), WHO serves as the supreme authority in global public health with the mission to "attain the highest possible level of health for all people." Its responsibilities include coordinating international health affairs, establishing health standards, promoting disease prevention, and responding to global health emergencies. In 2021, WHO adopted its first global resolution on rare diseases, mandating member states to improve diagnostic and treatment accessibility, while collaborating with organizations like RDI to establish a global rare disease data-sharing platform.

Topic Introduction
Rare Diseases: Global Collaboration for Diagnosis and Treatment

Despite being termed "orphan diseases" due to their low prevalence, rare diseases collectively affect approximately 400 million people worldwide. The challenges in research and treatment stem from disease complexity, limited financial incentives, and fragmented patient data. These obstacles underscore the critical need for international cooperation.

The United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW)

The United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is the principal global intergovernmental body dedicated to promoting gender equality and women's empowerment. Established in 1946, it works to shape global standards and policies by reviewing progress, identifying challenges, and setting actionable recommendations.

Key roles:

Policy Guidance: Monitors implementation of agreements like the Beijing Declaration.

Annual Meetings: Governments and NGOs gather to discuss priority themes (e.g., women’s economic rights, ending violence).

Advocacy: Amplifies marginalized voices and promotes gender-inclusive policies.

CSW plays a pivotal role in advancing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 5 (Gender Equality).

 Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW)

Topic：In the field of health and sanitary, the issue of gender gap urgently needs to be addressed. According to the report "Addressing Gender Disparities in Global Health" released by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs on April 3, 2025, there are significant differences in health between women and men globally. Among the 20 major causes of disease burden, the disability-adjusted life years rate of women is higher than that of men, especially in mental, musculoskeletal and neurological diseases. Bridging the gender gap in health and sanitary is of great significance for promoting women's health and empowerment, and requires concrete actions from all countries and global organizations.

the International Maritime Organization（IMO）

The International Maritime Organization (IMO), established in 1948 as a specialized agency of the United Nations, serves as the global standard-setting authority for the safety, security, and environmental performance of international shipping. Its mandate to develop and maintain fair and effective regulatory frameworks, combined with its pivotal role in uniting Member States, civil society, and the maritime industry, positions IMO as a key platform for addressing global maritime challenges. Through comprehensive conventions, technical standards, and initiatives like the Integrated Technical Cooperation Programme (ITCP), IMO advances climate-resilient shipping frameworks and empowers developing nations to implement sustainable maritime systems. Delegates in this committee will have the opportunity to explore critical topics at the intersection of maritime governance and climate change, including strategies for protecting vulnerable coastal communities from climate-induced displacement, enhancing coastal resilience, and promoting sustainable, secure maritime development.

Topic：The importance of this topic lies in its focus on developing maritime strategies to address climate-induced displacement and protect vulnerable coastal communities. As rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and marine ecosystem degradation threaten coastal populations, there is an urgent need for resilient, coordinated maritime responses. Current international frameworks offer limited protection for climate migrants, particularly in cross-border situations, highlighting the necessity for innovative solutions. By emphasizing the maritime dimension of climate resilience, this topic will challenge delegates to design innovative, rights-based strategies that strengthen international maritime governance, protect vulnerable populations, and promote sustainable, climate-adaptive development for coastal regions worldwide.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees（UNHCR）

created to help and protect refugees. It was set up by the United Nations General Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1950. Originally, UNHCR was meant to solve the refugee crisis after World War II and was planned to operate for only a few years. However, because conflicts, political instability, natural disasters, and other humanitarian problems have continued, UNHCR still works today. Over time, its role has grown. Besides giving emergency aid, UNHCR now focuses on long-term support, creating refugee policies, and standing up for refugee rights. It has become an important organization in global affairs, with a much wider set of responsibilities.

Topic：Migration has become a primary global concern in an increasingly connected world. As globalization brings countries closer together, the number of people moving across borders has skyrocketed. At the same time, anti-immigrant feelings have become more common in many societies. Such attitudes damage social unity within countries and make it harder for different cultures to live and work together peacefully. According to recent reports, there were about 281 million international migrants in 2024, around 3.6% of the world population. Conflict, political unrest, economic problems, and environmental disasters make migration even more complicated today. These forces often cause refugees—people fleeing danger and persecution—to move alongside other types of migrants. In this situation, protecting refugees and guaranteeing their rights has become harder. During the conference, this committee will discuss how governments and international organizations can defend refugee rights and dignity while managing the broader challenges of global migration.

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime（UNODC）

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), established in 1997, serves as the global leader in addressing illicit drugs, transnational organized crime, corruption, and terrorism. Headquartered in Vienna, Austria, UNODC operates under the mandate of the United Nations General Assembly (GA) and works closely with member states, international organizations, and civil society. UNODC’s governance includes an Executive Director, currently Ms. Ghada Waly of Egypt, and comprises 193 member states. The agency collaborates with entities like INTERPOL, the World Bank, and regional bodies to combat emerging threats, including cybercrime and money laundering in the digital age. In recent years, UNODC has prioritized enhancing digital forensics, strengthening border controls, and supporting legislative reforms to adapt to evolving criminal tactics.  

Topic：

Strengthening International Cooperation to Counter Transnational Organized Crime in the Digital Age  

Strengthening international cooperation to counter transnational organized crime in the digital age is imperative, as criminal networks increasingly exploit digital technologies for activities such as cyber fraud, darknet trafficking, and cryptocurrency-based money laundering. These borderless crimes harm global security, economy, and human rights. Effective solutions need aligned laws, real-time data sharing, and better law enforcement training. The UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC) helps, but gaps remain in digital anonymity and cross-jurisdiction issues. UNODC supports the Global Programme on Cybercrime, which offers tech training and public-private partnerships. Since 9/11, efforts have focused on terrorism financing and drug trafficking. Now, integrating AI for threat detection and improving platforms like INTERPOL’s I-24/7 Network are key. Investing in these areas can break criminal networks, protect vulnerable people, and enforce the rule of law globally.
