About the committee

Founded on 7 April 1948, the World Health Organization (WHO) is a United Nations agency focused on global public health. Headquartered in Geneva, it coordinates international health efforts, sets standards, and supports countries during health emergencies. Its roots go back to 19th-century International Sanitary Conferences, aimed at controlling epidemics like cholera. After World War II, WHO was formed by merging earlier international health bodies. WHO’s major achievements include the eradication of smallpox, near-elimination of polio, and leadership during health crises like COVID-19. With 194 member states, it continues to fight diseases, promote health systems, and respond to global threats.

Discussing The Prosecutor v. Dominic Ongwen.

About the committee

The International Criminal Court (ICC) investigates and, where warranted, tries individuals charged with the gravest crimes of concern to the international community: genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and the crime of aggression. The Court is participating in a global fight to end impunity, and through international criminal justice, the Court aims to hold those responsible accountable for their crimes and to help prevent these crimes from happening again. ​​The Court cannot reach these goals alone. As a court of last resort, it seeks to complement, not replace, national Courts. Governed by an international treaty called the Rome Statute, the ICC is the world’s first permanent international criminal court.
