The event's focus on contemporary challenges allows for a timely examination of complex interdependencies among nations. The discussions in Prague, CZE, will likely touch upon how various states are adapting to these changes, from established powers like USA, CHN, and RUS, to rising forces such as IND, BRA, and ZAF. The insights shared at the conference can inform strategies for navigating an increasingly complex world, fostering a deeper comprehension of the forces that drive international cooperation and competition. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with diverse perspectives on global governance, security, and economic integration. ## How to prepare To prepare for the Annual Geopolitical Conference, delegates should engage in thorough research on current geopolitical trends and regional hotspots. A strong understanding of \Dynamic Analysis\ will be particularly useful for grasping the complex interplay of factors discussed. Familiarity with the foreign policy positions of key global actors, including those from Europe like DEU, FRA, and GBR, and those from other continents such as SAU, JPN, and AUS, will enhance participation. Consider exploring various \[Engagement Strategies](https://modeldiplomat.com/learn/lessons/engagement-strategies)\ that different countries employ in their international relations. Understanding the motivations and historical contexts behind these strategies can provide valuable context for the conference's themes. Additionally, reviewing recent academic literature and policy briefs on emerging geopolitical challenges will ensure delegates are well-versed in the latest discourse. ## Country perspectives Where the most-relevant 3 countries stand on the core issues in play.

Its creation responded to decades of fragmented advocacy following the 1979 CEDAW convention and the 1995 Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, which remains the most comprehensive global blueprint for women's rights. UN Women supports inter-governmental bodies like the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) and assists member states in implementing global standards on the ground. The agency's current agenda is shaped by the Beijing+30 review in 2025, which found that no country has achieved full gender equality and that progress on indicators such as economic participation, political representation, and freedom from violence has stagnated or reversed in several regions. Conflict-related sexual violence in Sudan, Ukraine, and the eastern DRC, restrictions on women and girls in Afghanistan since 2021, and the gendered impacts of climate displacement have intensified debate over the Women, Peace and Security agenda (UNSC Res. 1325) and the financing of gender-responsive programming. Today, UN Women's work centers on closing data gaps, securing dedicated financing for gender equality, integrating gender into climate and digital policy, and responding to backlash against women's rights in multiple regions. Negotiations frequently divide along North-South lines over sexual and reproductive health and rights language, and over the resources required to translate normative commitments into national action.

It serves as the central platform for follow-up to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda on financing for development, and convenes the annual High-Level Political Forum that reviews SDG progress. In the post-pandemic period, ECOSOC's docket has been dominated by a deepening development finance crisis. Over 50 low- and middle-income countries face debt distress, with debt servicing now exceeding spending on health or education in many African states. The G20 Common Framework for Debt Treatments, launched in 2020, has been criticized as slow and creditor-dominated, prompting calls from the African Group, CARICOM, and the G77 for a UN-led multilateral sovereign debt restructuring mechanism. The Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) in Sevilla in 2025 sharpened these debates without resolving them. In parallel, the 2024 Global Digital Compact, adopted as part of the Pact for the Future, tasked ECOSOC with steering inclusive digital public infrastructure (DPI) — interoperable systems for digital identity, payments, and data exchange — as a tool for SDG acceleration. Disputes center on data sovereignty, technology transfer, and whether private vendors or public goods models should dominate DPI deployment in the Global South.

Vietnam installed the People's Republic of Kampuchea in Phnom Penh, but a resistance coalition — the Coalition Government of Democratic Kampuchea, uniting the Khmer Rouge, FUNCINPEC under Prince Sihanouk, and the KPNLF under Son Sann — held the UN seat and waged guerrilla war from the Thai border. The conflict became a Cold War proxy, with China and ASEAN backing the resistance, the Soviet Union and Vietnam supporting Phnom Penh, and Western states aligning largely against the Vietnamese-installed government. The first session of the PICC, held in Paris from 30 July to 30 August 1989 and co-chaired by France and Indonesia, brought together 19 states alongside the four Cambodian factions and the UN Secretary-General. Core disputes included the role of the Khmer Rouge in any transitional arrangement, the modalities of Vietnamese troop withdrawal, international supervision of elections, and how to characterize the atrocities of 1975–1979. The 1989 session ended without agreement, but Vietnam's unilateral withdrawal in September 1989 and the diplomatic thaw between Beijing, Moscow, and Washington opened space for the P5 to broker a framework in 1990. The second session concluded with the signing of the Paris Peace Agreements on 23 October 1991, establishing the UN Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) — at the time the most ambitious UN peace operation ever mounted — to supervise a ceasefire, disarmament, refugee return, and the 1993 elections that produced a new constitutional monarchy.

With 193 member states each holding one vote, it is the only UN body with universal membership and is empowered to discuss any matter within the scope of the Charter, adopt the regular UN budget, elect non-permanent members of the Security Council, and — through the 1950 'Uniting for Peace' resolution — address threats to international peace when the Council is deadlocked. The GA's contemporary salience has grown as Security Council paralysis over Ukraine, Gaza, and Sudan has pushed states toward plenary diplomacy. Resolution ES-11/1 condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine (March 2022), Resolution 76/262 requiring the GA to debate any veto cast in the Council (April 2022), and emergency special sessions on Gaza have demonstrated both the Assembly's normative weight and the limits of its non-binding authority. The September 2024 Summit of the Future adopted the Pact for the Future, the Global Digital Compact, and the Declaration on Future Generations, setting a reform agenda that includes Security Council composition, international financial architecture, and AI governance. Current debates within the Assembly center on revitalizing its working methods, advancing reform of the Security Council (the Intergovernmental Negotiations process), financing the UN system amid arrears, and translating the Pact for the Future's commitments into operational outcomes across specialized committees.

Headquartered in London with 176 member states, it administers foundational instruments including SOLAS (safety of life at sea), MARPOL (pollution prevention), STCW (seafarer training), and the Ballast Water Management Convention. Its consensus-driven culture and reliance on flag-state implementation have historically made it effective on technical standards but slow on contentious political issues. The agency's defining contemporary challenge is decarbonizing an industry responsible for roughly 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The 2023 Revised GHG Strategy committed the sector to net-zero by or around 2050, with indicative checkpoints of 20–30% cuts by 2030 and 70–80% by 2040. In April 2025 the Marine Environment Protection Committee approved a draft 'Net-Zero Framework' combining a global fuel standard with an emissions pricing mechanism — potentially the first sector-wide carbon levy at the international level — slated for formal adoption in late 2025. Small Island Developing States have championed an ambitious levy, while major flag states and exporters have sought to dilute it. Simultaneously, the IMO confronts security crises in the Red Sea following Houthi attacks on commercial shipping since late 2023, persistent piracy in the Gulf of Guinea, the 'dark fleet' transporting sanctioned Russian and Iranian oil, and rising concerns over autonomous vessels (MASS) and cyber threats to port infrastructure.

After the Cold War, the alliance expanded eastward through successive rounds of enlargement, redefined itself around out-of-area operations in the Balkans and Afghanistan, and grappled with internal debates over burden-sharing and strategic purpose. Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 returned territorial defense to the center of NATO planning. The 2022 Madrid Strategic Concept named Russia 'the most significant and direct threat' and identified China as a 'systemic challenge' for the first time. Finland joined in April 2023 and Sweden in March 2024, ending decades of non-alignment and doubling NATO's border with Russia. At Vilnius (2023) and Washington (2024), allies committed to a new force model, raised the 2% of GDP defense spending benchmark toward a 'floor not a ceiling,' and established the NATO–Ukraine Council, though without offering Kyiv a concrete accession timeline. The alliance now faces simultaneous pressures: sustaining military aid to Ukraine, replenishing depleted munition stocks, integrating new members, managing transatlantic political volatility over burden-sharing, addressing hybrid and cyber threats from Russia, and calibrating engagement with Indo-Pacific partners (the IP4: Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand) given China's strategic weight.

Its structure — five permanent veto-wielding members (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States) and ten elected members — reflects the 1945 settlement and has been the focus of unresolved reform debates for decades. The Council's contemporary agenda is shaped by the war in Sudan, where fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces since April 2023 has produced the world's largest displacement crisis, famine conditions in Darfur and Kordofan, and credible reports of ethnic cleansing. The 2005 Resolution 1591 arms embargo on Darfur remains poorly enforced, and successive draft resolutions on ceasefires and humanitarian access have foundered on Russian vetoes and divisions over external arms flows. Parallel files on Ukraine and Gaza have repeatedly exposed P5 paralysis, prompting greater recourse to the General Assembly under the Uniting for Peace formula and to Resolution 76/262's 'veto initiative.' Beyond active conflicts, the Council is grappling with cybersecurity and critical infrastructure following the Open-Ended Working Group on ICT's reports on responsible state behavior, the implications of AI for international peace and security (the subject of the first dedicated UNSC briefing in July 2023), and the durability of sanctions regimes amid widening evasion networks.

With universal membership of all 193 UN member states, it meets biennially in Nairobi and sets the global environmental agenda through resolutions and ministerial declarations addressing what UNEP terms the 'triple planetary crisis' of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. UNEA's most consequential current mandate stems from Resolution 5/14, adopted in March 2022, which launched an Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) to develop a legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment. After five formal sessions culminating in INC-5 in Busan in late 2024 and a resumed INC-5.2 in Geneva in August 2025, negotiations have remained deadlocked over whether the treaty should cap primary plastic polymer production — favored by the 'High Ambition Coalition' of EU states, Norway, Rwanda, and many SIDS — or focus on waste management and recycling, as preferred by major petrochemical producers including Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Iran. UNEA-7, scheduled for December 2025, will also address chemicals and waste management beyond plastics, sustainable nitrogen management, environmental rule of law, and the operationalization of the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment recognized in GA Resolution 76/300. The Assembly's effectiveness is constrained by UNEP's chronic underfunding and the diffusion of environmental governance across many specialized regimes.
