What is this committee about
The UNHCR committee will focus on examining the United States’ immigration and asylum framework and its implications for international refugee protection. Delegates will assess how current U.S. policies align with global humanitarian standards and the principles established in the 1951 Refugee Convention.
Key discussions will include the accessibility and fairness of asylum procedures, border management practices, the treatment of asylum seekers, and the United States’ role in burden and responsibility sharing with other nations. By evaluating both domestic measures and their global repercussions, delegates will aim to propose balanced, humane, and sustainable policy recommendations that strengthen the international refugee protection system.
