About the committee
Committee Description
The General Assembly (GA) is the United Nations' main deliberative body, where all 193 member states hold equal voting rights regardless of size, wealth, or military power. It debates and issues resolutions on nearly any issue within the UN Charter's scope, ranging from peace and security to development, human rights, and international law, though its resolutions are generally non-binding recommendations rather than enforceable law, unlike Security Council resolutions.
The GA conducts most of its substantive work through six Main Committees, each responsible for a designated policy area. The Fourth Committee, formally the Special Political and Decolonization Committee (SPECPOL), handles peacekeeping operations, decolonization, atomic radiation effects, outer space affairs, mine action, and information policy.

President's letter
Esteemed Delegates,
Welcome to The General Assmebly!
My name is Alisha Zakarneh, and it is both an honor and a privilege to serve as your President for AAMUN‘26. Alongside my distinguished chairing panel, I am committed to creating an enriching and memorable experience for each and every single one of you. Whether you are a first-time delegate or an experienced one, I hope this conference encourages you to think critically, speak confidently, and debate meaningfully. Together, let’s make it truly unforgettable and an experience both you and I will always cherish.
Walking into my first ever mun experience, I was no more than an 11 year old seeking means of amplifying my voice, it wasnt until the end of that conference ended did i realize that MUN would soon develop into a long lasting passion that i would carry with me and a space where my voice could be heard. Now as your president, I want to give you all that same experience, one that allowed me to discover my passion for MUN, grow my voice and discover a space where i felt truly inspired and challenged.
So delegates, I urge you all to step up and make the most of it.
I hope to see you all on the floor very soon!
Sincerely,
Alisha Zakarneh
