Committee Description
SOCHUM:
Truth and justice. Two pillars of free society that have been corrupted, nearly beyond repair. However, all is not lost. Through policy and debate delegates can empower communities to be free of disinformation and faulty legal systems. It will not be easy, but each speech and each discussion is a step in the right direction. The question is, are you willing to take this leap of faith, or will you watch the world fall into turmoil?
Background Guide
Topics of Debate
Topic A: Protecting the Independence of Justice Systems
A justice system is meant to be unmoved, steady, impartial, untouched by whoever holds power at the moment. But around the world, that pillar is bending. Courts are pressured, judges are threatened, and laws are rewritten to serve the few instead of the many. This topic asks delegates to step into the quiet, often invisible struggle over truth itself. When a courtroom becomes an echo of political will rather than a refuge for fairness, the harm is slow but devastating. Delegates will explore how nations can shield their justice systems from corruption, influence, and fear, and what it takes to keep the law standing when everything around it begins to shift.
Topic B: Cybercrime & Disinformation
In today’s digital world, information moves faster than truth. Cybercriminals exploit the vulnerable and artificial technology becomes more accessible every single day. False narratives spread like wildfire, eroding trust in institutions and tearing communities apart. In a world where everything is uncertain, delegates must guard the global digital cyberspace. Cybercrime and disinformation is a growing threat, and it’s time that it's put to an end.
