Heading 1

The Special Political and Decolonization Committee (SPECPOL) is the fourth committee of the General Assembly, focusing on addressing issues regarding decolonization, human rights, maritime borders, and peacekeeping. Outside these primary objectives, SPECPOL is also dedicated to other issues such as atomic radiation, outer space, and mining. First responsible for the decolonization of countries, aiding over 750 million people, it now stands as an intergovernmental body that oversees challenging situations of political and territorial disputes. Through fruitful debate, negotiation, and diplomacy, delegates will be exploring how nations interact, resolve conflict, and ensure accountability globally.  Given that this committee is a part of the General Assembly, resolutions are non-binding and actions are suggested to the Security Council, which ultimately decides whether or not a plan of action may proceed. SPECPOL welcomes all delegates, regardless of experience. Above all else, position papers are recommended for this committee and are mandatory for delegates to be considered for awards.
