The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), founded in the year 1946, is a humanitarian agency developed for the purpose of protecting the rights and freedoms of children worldwide. Initially created as an emergency response to the dire situation that World War II left children in across the globe, the organization began to work towards combating famine and disease in the youth population. Not long after, The United Nations then extended UNICEF's mandate, thereby establishing it as a committee dedicated to the advocation and protection of the wellbeing of children. Today, the committee's goal is to strive towards overcoming poverty, disease, and exploitation, as well as providing aid for the education, health, and welfare of children.

What began with an upset produce vendor in Tunisia who lit himself on fire to protest the corrupt regime under Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, would later lead to one of the most significant revolutions in human history. With a total of 6 governments overthrown, multiple civil wars, and 20 countries directly affected, some resulted in the original goal of achieving freedom, liberty, human rights, and democracy but the majority resulted in ongoing civil wars and increased tyranny from the government. This is due to the various actors with varying points of view from the corrupt governments, to the protesters, to extremist organizations, to external Western nations choosing sides. This crisis committee took place on January 14th, 2011, the end of the overthrow of the Tunisia government and the beginning of the protests in the Arab world. Your task as delegates representing various actors is to achieve your agenda - whatever agenda that may be.

The World Health Organization targets all issues related to the topic of global health, which may be intertwined with global politics. Healthcare inequalities continue to worsen, especially between low and high income communities, with large discrepancies in both quality and quantity of care. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a global health crisis, a crisis which can be avoided in the future if countries choose to be prepared. Both issues come with long and diverse backgrounds of information. But if one thing is for sure, these are prominent issues that must be addressed imminently.
