In this committee, delegates represent various countries to discuss and address global issues affecting children, such as access to education, healthcare, child protection, and poverty. The focus is on creating solutions that uphold the rights and well-being of children, following the principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The committee emphasizes collaboration, negotiation, and drafting resolutions to improve children's lives globally.
