The Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC) is the first committee of the United Nations General Assembly. The committee deals with issues regarding international security, disarmament challenges, and threats to global peace. The purpose of DISEC is to ensure viable stability between countries through debates and drafting resolutions. At SSUNS 2021, the DISEC committee delegates will focus on resolving conflicts surrounding technological advancements that have had significant impacts on how geopolitics is played out between different international actors. The committee will look at how this new technology can be monitored but also debate on how ethical it is to be utilizing modern technology in order to equitably keep peace and order on the world stage.

This committee will focus on the regulation of new technology and delegates will be able to use their research skills to create realistic solutions. The first topic,  regulation of militaristic, humanitarian and social technology focuses on developing solutions to protect the modern consumer from unwanted scams, fraud, and corrupt initiatives that will affect the socio-economic livelihoods of people and delegitimize democratic institutions around the world. The second topic, peace enforcement and peace negotiations tackle the new utilization of social technology in preventing future war, espionage, and conflicts. In the third topic, 5G networks, delegates will work together to find solutions that will make sure that the dissemination of personal data does not happen and that private data stays protected. Delegates will ensure that telecommunication giants do not abuse and exploit these services. In the fourth topic, Weaponization and Regulation of Social media, delegates will talk about how social media has been a tool that governments have used in order to acquire power and to disseminate false or misleading information to the public. 

It will be the delegate's responsibility to find solutions that ensure that access to true information is a goal between all governments and to draw guidelines to prevent the occurrences of misinformation on the internet.

The Dais is excited to meet all of the delegates at SSUNS 2021!
