This committee plays a pivotal role in crafting frameworks and policies that aim to prevent conflict, promote peace, and ensure the responsible use of technology in defence. By fostering cooperation and dialogue among nations, DISEC at DAIMUN works tirelessly to mitigate threats and build a safer, more secure world for future generations.

Our first agenda, “Mitigating the threat of cyber warfare to ensure cybersecurity globally,” focuses on leveraging international collaboration to counter the rising menace of cyber attacks. Cyber warfare involves malicious digital activities targeting systems and infrastructure to disrupt, spy, or sabotage. The rapid pace of technological innovation has escalated the sophistication of these threats, necessitating a unified global effort. Key objectives include preventing cyber attacks through strong security measures, enhancing cyber resilience to ensure recovery from attacks, fostering international cooperation to share threat intelligence and best practices, establishing and enforcing international norms for responsible state behaviour, and assisting developing nations in strengthening their cybersecurity infrastructure. Delegates at DISEC can work together to mitigate risks and ensure a secure digital future for all.

Our second Agenda is “Addressing militarism in Balochistan-Sistan Region”. This is a multifaceted agenda that tackles the issues faced by people in the Balochistan-Sistan region of Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Balochistan-Sistan conflict is not merely a clash of arms, but a war of identities and aspirations. It is a fight for self-governance, acknowledgment, and the ability to shape one’s own future, all set against the backdrop of dominant geopolitical influences and national agendas. This agenda not only includes extremism but also the economic implications, Gwadar port problem and the Chinese Economic Corridor. There have not been any greatly beneficial steps undertaken to solve this crisis. It requires the urgent attention of the global community so that peace and security can be established and individuals will no longer have to fear bombings before they step out of their homes. The Baloch rebel groups are fighting for their democracy. Delegates, it is up to you to decide whether they should achieve it or not.

Our third agenda, “De-escalating the ongoing conflict in Yemen involving the Houthi Rebels, with emphasis on the involvement of Middle East and North Africa nations,” is about safely subsidising the current crisis caused by Houthi insurgents in and around Yemen. This agenda includes not only the turmoil caused by the Houthis, but also the risks posed by extremist groups in the region due to the weakened government. This issue is extremely relevant with recent developments such as Houthi attacks on vessels passing through the Red Sea in protest to Israel’s war on Gaza. This is a battle stemming from alleged marginalisation of the Houthis by the Yemeni government but has now grown to a global issue, bordering on a possible proxy war. As this conflict goes on, there are casualties daily in the hundreds, and global trade is disrupted, slowly pushing the world towards an economic slowdown. Delegates, let us come together at DISEC to craft innovative solutions that lead to long lasting peace and stability in Yemen.

Attending the Disarmament and International Security Committee at DAIMUN offers a unique opportunity to address current global issues such as arms control, international security, and conflict resolution, gaining a deeper understanding of international diplomacy and the intricate system of power. DISEC will allow delegates to engage in real-world challenges. They will not only contribute to meaningful solutions but also broaden their perspective, preparing them to become influential leaders and changemakers in an interconnected world.

We look forward to welcoming you to DISEC at DAIMUN 2024!
