United Nations General Assembly—Disarmament and International Security Committee (UNGA-DISEC)
Advancing Disarmament. Strengthening Regional Security.The United Nations General Assembly’s Disarmament and International Security Committee addresses issues related to global security, disarmament, arms control, and threats to international peace.
At KTMUN, delegates will deliberate on the establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the Middle East, a region shaped by complex security concerns, political tensions, competing strategic interests, and long-standing disagreements regarding nuclear capabilities.
The committee will examine how regional nations and the wider international community can establish an effective, verifiable, and universally accepted framework that prevents the development, acquisition, testing, or possession of nuclear weapons in the region. Delegates must consider the security concerns of individual states while exploring confidence-building measures, verification mechanisms, diplomatic guarantees, and international cooperation.
