Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural Committee

Examining the Misuse of Surveillance Technologies and its Impact on Human Rights and Civil Libertes

|

To foster youth leadership and effective rhetoric, DBISMUN 2026 is offering Junior Committees - open exclusively to students from Grades 6-8.

About the Agenda:

The rapid evolution of surveillance technology has outpaced ethical and legal structures. This assists governments and corporations to operate monitoring tools in ways that may invade privacy, treat people unfairly and discourage free expression or perhaps even criticism. The committee will investigate ways of ensuring security while simultaneously protecting human rights and finding ethical ways of improving accountability for use of surveillance technology, alongside assessing current legal frameworks. Delegates will be expected to contend with major geopolitical differences with regard to surveillance and privacy, to deal with controversial topics like data sovereignty, business accountability, lack of international legal mechanisms and other moral aspects. This agenda requires technical fluency paired with a diplomatic approach, and a willingness to confront the intersection of state conspiracy, weak governance, and threats to human rights and civil liberties.
