Indigenous languages: Delegates will consider how governments and international organizations can support language preservation while respecting the leadership of Indigenous communities.
Humanitarian aid: Debate will examine how aid is funded, distributed, and monitored, including how organizations can respond quickly while meeting the different needs of affected communities.
SOCHUM offers the traditional Model United Nations experience for delegates of all experience levels and uses Regular Rules of Procedure. Position papers are recommended for this committee, but are mandatory for delegates to be considered for awards.
