Selecting engaging MUN topics is crucial. A good topic can make the difference between an exciting and a boring committee, whether it comes from the chair, Secretary-General, or coach. A great committee must therefore choose a topic that is intriguing, engaging, and logical. This blog provides examples of some MUN topics that can help potential delegates to understand what they can expect in a typical MUN setting.
Model UN Topics for Istanbul International MUN, Turkey
Committee: UNSC (United Nations Security Council)
General Topic: Cyber Security
Discussion Topic: Differentiating from Cyber War from Cyber Terrorism and Cyber Crime
How to approach this topic: Cyberspace is a new area where communities and entire countries might go through its catastrophic effects. The nature of cybercrimes, terrorism, and all-out conflict continue to confound and delay the right answers from those defending our society as the internet and other digitally connected devices proliferate around the globe. The UNSC must assess these instances and establish globally defining criteria on harmful intent in the cyber sphere as it is the primary body responsible for defining breaches of peace in the international system. In this case, UNSC representatives need to be able to discuss in-depth the political and technological underpinnings of these various activities and how the international community need to attempt to respond to them
