About

Welcome to the INTERPOL Committee sessions of the Schoolhouse Fall Model United Nations 2024!

Schoolhouse MUN is an online Model United Nations event organized by a team of volunteers from schoolhouse.world. Delegates will have the opportunity to represent different countries in five distinct committees of the United Nations. This experience will enhance their understanding of current world issues and improve their public speaking, collaboration, and leadership skills.

Agenda: Countering Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery
Developing international strategies to combat human trafficking networks and provide support to victims.

Chairs: Anshu P and Luca G

Overview of the Committee’s Agenda:
In 2017 alone, an estimated 40.3 million people fell victim to modern slavery—an alarming reality that many are unaware of. Smugglers prey on those yearning for a better life, manipulating their dreams and snatching away their freedom in the process. Today, an unimaginable number of children have been reduced to commodities. In certain areas of Africa and the Mekong region, children make up half of all trafficking victims. In West Africa, that figure soars to a staggering 100%.

These lucrative crimes thrive on the vulnerability of the most susceptible, benefiting the cruelest among us. The International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) was established to address similar transnational issues. While INTERPOL is not a law enforcement agency itself, it plays an essential role in facilitating global police cooperation and supporting law enforcement to combat human trafficking and modern slavery.

As delegates, it is your responsibility to explore how, why, when, and to what extent INTERPOL can and must act. Engage in vigorous discussions, challenge each other's perspectives, and ask those hard-hitting questions. Through assertive diplomacy and united action, you have the power to confront one of our world’s most pressing and heart-wrenching issues.

Are you ready to rise to this pivotal challenge?

About the Tutors

Hey there, it's Anshu! I'm a curious person who loves to learn, explore, and research. Physics and Mathematics are my favourite subjects, and I could talk about them for hours. When I'm not busy unravelling the mysteries of the universe or diving deep into the mind-boggling world of physics theories and equations, you can find me hacking (don't worry, always ethically 😉), coding and losing myself in the pages of a great book. And if that's not enough, you might catch me debating in exhilarating MUNs! Looking forward to seeing you in my sessions!

I'm an international student who really believes in the power of peer-to-peer interactions. In particular, I truly think they are powerful because they prove that math is way easier than your handbook seems to suggest. I’m also very into history. In my free time, I learn foreign languages and read.
