From 12 to 13 Dec 2026, YOUNIFY MUN 2026 brings Model UN delegates together in tangerang selatan, Indonesia. It is for high school students, and the organisers expect about 150 delegates. There are 5 committees, including Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee (SOCHUM) and UN Entity for Gender Equality (UN Women) (UNW). SOCHUM will debate “Despite the legal protections enshrined in international human rights law, millions of people around the world continue to live wihtout any nationality. These stateless individuals are not recognized as citizens by any state under the operations of its laws. As a result, they are very often marginalized by the own society they live in, deprived of the legal identity that serves as the foundation for exercising basic rights and freedoms. Statelessness arises from a variety of root causes, including armed conflict, state succession, discriminatory nationality laws, forced displacement, and more. In most cases regarding stateless individuals, citizenship legislation discriminates on the basis of ethnicity, race, religion, or even gender, leaving entire communities excluded from nationality. Without citizenship, stateless persons face severe discrimination in nearly every aspect of daily life. Many are unable to obtain identuty documents, limiting access to essential sectors, such as education, healthcare and employment. Therefore, delegates are expected to discuss the root causes and impacts of statelessness, while crafting feasible solutions to tackle discrimination against stateless individuals and promote their reintegration into society”, and UNW will debate “Reproductive healthcare remains an important component towards gender equality and a fundamental human right. However, the neglect of sexual and reproductive health and rights remains pervasive, most often not due to a lack of resources, but the widespread stigmatization mainly due to deeply ingrained beliefs and societal values pertaining to women's sexuality. One of the most disputed aspects of reproductive healthcare is abortion, with an estimated 73.3 million abortions (61% of unintended pregnancies) per year, with nearly half (45%) of all induced abortions were considered unsafe. As debates surrounding abortion continue to differ across legal, cultural, and ethical context, allowing equitable access of reproductive healthcare remains one of the pressing global issues at hand. Delegates will have to examine how abortion stigma, restrictive legislation, misinformation, and unequal access to reproductive healthcare contribute to disparities in women's health while exploring strategies to come up with equally innovative and practical solutions”.

UNHCR
UN Refugee Agency · General Assembly
Human trafficking remains one of the most prevalent problems in the world, but it is especially a growing threat to refugees, asylum seekers, and displaced populations. Due to their nature of vulnerability from often being forced to flee conflict alongside the limitations of fair and efficient asylum systems, these groups are left to be easily exploited through means of forced labor, sexual exploitation, and other forms of abuse. Delegates in this council will explore the improvement and accessibility of asylum systems, protection of displaced groups, and international cooperation while upholding international human rights and refugee law. As the current demand for safe refuges grows faster than the establishment of ethical sanctuaries, delegates must ask themselves: is it possible for asylum systems to evolve quickly enough to protect vulnerable populations, or will the persistent systemic gaps continue to fuel the human trafficking and exploitation industry?
UNSC
UN Security Council · General Assembly
With over 120 kilometers of shared borders between Israel and Lebanon, the fragile peace process structure has entirely broken down due to continual cross-border violence, incursions on land, and large-scale evacuations of civilians, putting the UNIFIL peacekeeping force in the eye of the storm. The world is urgently calling for de-escalation measures, and delegates must come prepared to act. This means reconsidering UNIFIL’s ROE, finding methods to increase the influence of the Lebanese Armed Forces over their southern border, and coming up with Chapter VII clauses for securing the area. Therefore, how should the Council ensure compliance with Resolution 1701, when the actors do not function within formal state structures? Should UNIFIL’s mandate be expanded to full peace-enforcement? Or should it be withdrawn to give way to local state forces? What legal measures will be taken to ensure permanent, verifiable cessation of hostilities?
Israel-Lebanon Border Crisis: Reconstructing Peacekeeping Mandates Under Resolution 1701.
Vatican Conclave
Crisis
The bells of churches worldwide toll and enter a solemn mourning as the world kneels to the sudden passing of the supreme Pontiff. Since then, it has just plunged the Roman Catholic church into Sede Vacante, during which the governance of the holy see temporarily shifts to the college of cardinals. Following the nine days of mourning (Novendiales) and solemn funeral rites, the cardinal camerlengo, who leads the college of cardinals, gathers all cardinals from around the world. Serving as cardinals of the world, delegates will be joined into Vatican City, specifically, inside the Sistine Chapel of the Apostolic Palace for daily general congregations to deliberate on the future leader of the Catholic Church. Delegates must therefore debate and discuss amongst each other in a near-accurate representation of the Papal Conclave on the criterias in which the supreme pontiff must hold, discussing topics of stability, global topics, and thus discern the qualities and values for the future of the holy church.
On Gavelling, committees can run as live sessions where you follow motions and the speakers list on your phone. Every conference you attend as a delegate is added to your MUN CV once it ends.
