The General Assembly is the main deliberative body of the United Nations, handling a wide array of topics—from international security to humanitarian issues. Delegates debate, draft resolutions, and shape global policy recommendations.

Keep in Mind:

• The GA handles broad and diverse agendas, so stay informed about multiple international perspectives.

• Build consensus through effective negotiation and diplomacy—simple majorities can pass impactful resolutions.

• Incorporate relevant data, stats, and (if available) GIS maps to enrich your arguments.

The Security Council focuses on international peace and security. It can authorize peacekeeping missions, enact sanctions, and even approve military interventions to maintain or restore global stability.

Keep in Mind:

• The SC has 5 permanent members (P5) with veto power, which can drastically impact resolution outcomes.

• Understand crisis management procedures and the real-time data behind conflicts.

• Prompt action and concise negotiation skills are crucial—security issues can escalate quickly.

ECOSOC deals with global economic development, social progress, and environmental sustainability. Delegates collaborate on solutions for poverty reduction, education reform, public health, and more.

Keep in Mind:

• Decisions often involve detailed data on economic indicators and social impacts.

• Balancing short-term results and long-term sustainability is key.

• Tap into GIS data for insights on resource distribution, infrastructure projects, and demographic shifts.

• Integrate qualitative data (reports, testimonies) and quantitative data (refugee flows, demographic studies) to strengthen arguments.

• Focus on feasible and compassionate policy approaches that uphold international human rights standards.
