This committee focuses on the evolving security landscape across the Middle East and the Horn of Africa—regions where geopolitical rivalries, non-state armed groups, and maritime vulnerabilities converge to create complex and interconnected threats. The escalation of the Houthi conflict, persistent instability in Somalia and Djibouti, and the broader implications for global trade and regional power balances highlight the urgency of addressing these challenges within a unified international framework.

 

The committee will examine the root causes driving these crises, evaluate their cross-regional consequences, and explore mechanisms under the UN Charter for preventing escalation and reinforcing long-term stability. Through this work, the Security Council aims to uphold the principles of collective security and strengthen global efforts to maintain peace in one of the world’s most strategically significant regions.
