Summary: 
The Security Council takes the lead in determining the existence of a threat to the peace or act of aggression. It calls upon the parties to settle disputes by peaceful means and recommends methods of adjustment or terms of settlement. In some cases, the Security Council can resort to imposing sanctions or even authorise the use of force to maintain or restore international peace and security.

Summary: 

​Globally, climatic change in tropical areas has been carried forward, resulting in unsustainable desertification and natural disasters. ECOSOC is strongly willing to push forward positive dialogue in order to create solutions for this issue, which is placing numerous countries and millions of people at risk. There has been uncountable past efforts in the past in trying to tackle the socio-economic problems, however, it has failed to solve problems in increasing size and cases of desertification leading to further poverty and famine.

Summary:
IOC (International Olympic Committee) is an international, non-profit organization for conducting and organizing summer, winter and youth olympics. The main headquarters for this non-profit is based on Lausanne, Switzerland. The committee consists of approximately 115 individuals; some who were elected for serving sports and some who are currently serving as the presidents of the International sports organizations.

Summary: 
“An armed attack against one of them shall be considered an attack against them all.” Such a strong political and military alliance refers to North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which was officially established in 1949. The initial aim was to safeguard North Atlantic region from terrors and threats of the Soviet Union via political and military means. After continuous enlargement, the organization is now comprised of 28 independent nations and runs under the objective of collective defense and crisis management for the defense of whole Europe. In order to fulfill the goal, all member states provide sufficient arms alongside the equipment that NATO itself possesses; they also share a budget, which every member contributes to by an agreed amount. Nuclear warheads are included among the equipments that the member nations share, under the jurisdiction of NATO.

Summary:
The Scotland Yard committee goes way back to the Victorian era. Delegates will not be representatives of nations, but instead private investigators. In the real Scotland Yard, the private investigators acted as police for the public, and that is the role delegates will undertake. However, the job of a private investigator is not what would be expected in present day. There are racial conflicts between the public, which complicates investigations. Furthermore, there are people in the public who feel discontent towards the police and would rather help out criminals than the police. These are the type of challenges delegates will face in committee. Through dialogue, planning negotiating delegates should strive to achieve understanding from the public to help advance their investigations. Throughout this process crimes will continue around London, thievery, fraud, serial killers and assassinations. Delegates will face the task of undergoing politically astute decisions, while tackling complex cases. They will have to keep balance of investigating without hurting the image of Scotland Yard.

Summary:
The Committee “HUNGER GAMES : The Capitol” was established in response to  rebellions after the 74th Hunger Games.

The objective of the council is to cease the fire of the rebellions from District 13 along with Katniss Everdeen. The rebels are trying to overthrow the government by fair means or foul. Their methods include atrocious propagandas, gruesome murders, and destructions of the infrastructures. From these actions, the Panem is now very unstable.  Therefore, effective and expedite responses are essential.
