MUN [MODEL UNITED NATION]
JSSMC MUN is back, once again offering a platform for engaging and productive discussions on global issues and the development of actionable policies aimed at the betterment of humanity. The conference brings together delegates from diverse backgrounds, fostering collaboration, strengthening diplomatic skills and encouraging a deeper understanding of governance and policymaking.
The inaugural edition of JSSMC MUN in 2022 marked a historic milestone as Mysuru’s first-ever Model United Nations, bringing together 150 delegates for two days of diplomacy and debate. Over the following years, JSSMC MUN grew tremendously, attracting more delegates and fostering increasingly engaging discussions. Now in its fifth edition, JSSMC MUN continues its legacy as a platform for youth diplomacy, focusing on pressing national and international issues through dialogue, collaboration and leadership.
Lok Sabha
The Lok Sabha, or House of the People, is the lower House of the Parliament of India, with members chosen through direct election. It forms a central part of India’s legislative and parliamentary system and serves as a forum for law-making, representation, debate, and scrutiny of the government.
As an independent parliamentary committee, Lok Sabha focuses on Indian domestic politics and governance, with discussions spanning legislation, public policy, administration, welfare, economic priorities, constitutional questions, and issues affecting different sections of society. The committee places delegates within the dynamics of Indian parliamentary politics, requiring them to balance party positions, constituency interests, government accountability, and practical policy implementation.
United Nations Security Council [UNSC]
The United Nations Security Council is the UN organ with primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security. Under the UN Charter, it can recommend peaceful settlements, impose sanctions, and, in certain circumstances, authorise the use of force. Its fifteen members include five permanent members- the United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia, and China- whose veto power significantly shapes the Council’s decision-making.
The UNSC is shaped as much by the political interests of its members as by the crises it addresses. States may recognise the same crisis while differing sharply over its causes, appropriate response, or extent of international involvement, bringing questions of security, sovereignty, humanitarian concerns, and national interest into the same discussion. Delegates should expect fast-paced geopolitical debate, crisis management, strategic negotiations, and discussion of sanctions, peacekeeping, and the use of force.
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime [UNODC]
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, or UNODC, works with Member States to address drugs, crime, corruption, and terrorism while promoting justice and the rule of law. Its mandate covers areas including transnational organised crime, drug control, criminal justice, corruption, and terrorism, supported by research, policy assistance, and technical cooperation.
The defining feature of UNODC is its inherently cross-border nature. Trafficking networks, illicit financial flows, organised crime, and technology enabled offences often extend across jurisdictions, requiring cooperation between states alongside effective legal and institutional frameworks. Debate is likely to involve cross-border cooperation, trafficking, drug control, cyber-enabled crime, criminal justice, and the balance between national sovereignty and international enforcement.
United Nations Women [UN Women]
The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, or UN Women, works to advance women’s rights, gender equality, and the empowerment of women and girls. Its work spans areas including leadership and representation, economic empowerment, freedom from violence, and peace, security, and humanitarian action.
What makes UN Women distinctive is the range of issues that can be understood through the lens of gender equality. Discussions can move from representation and governance to economic opportunity, safety, conflict, and displacement, while considering how international commitments translate into policies suited to different national realities. Delegates can expect discussion on policy-making, representation, women’s economic participation, protection from violence, and the implementation of gender-responsive policies.
