About this Committee
The Social, Cultural, and Humanitarian committee (SOCHUM),
founded in 1945, was created in order to address global
human rights violations, social inequities, and various cultural
disputes. This committee, being the third body out of the
main six, has helped to create unity amongst nations in
promoting fundamental freedoms and drafting declarations.
One of the major achievements that it has accomplished is
the signing of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human
Rights. The committee commonly deals with issues facing
gender equality, indigenous rights, and human trafficking.
SOCHUM has also dealt plentifully with the protection of
children, a particular point of focus in one of the topics that
we will be discussing. While this committee has no official
motto to stand by, it constantly advocates for the same
matters. SOCHUM is built around some of the most
fundamental standings that we as a race hold onto, and it
continues to guide the globe with its instructions and settings
on many subjects such as worldly equality and human rights.
