About this Committee
The Disarmament and International Security Committee, known as the First Committee of the UN General Assembly, addresses global challenges related to disarmament, arms control, and international peace and security. DISEC provides a forum for all UN member states to deliberate on issues ranging from conventional and unconventional weapons to emerging security threats posed by new technologies. Unlike the Security Council, DISEC operates on the principle of sovereign equality, with each member state holding one vote, and its resolutions serve as non-binding recommendations that shape international norms and encourage cooperative action. The committee works closely with the UN Office for Disarmament Affairs and other bodies to promote transparency, prevent arms races, and reduce the human and humanitarian costs of conflict. Delegates in DISEC are tasked with balancing national security interests against collective global stability, making it one of the most diplomatically rich committees in Model UN.
