## Why it matters

The convergence of global security threats necessitates continuous innovation and collaboration among nations. Events like Milipol Paris provide a vital forum for sharing best practices and showcasing cutting-edge technologies that enhance national and international security frameworks. The discussions and exhibitions at this event directly influence how countries like the USA, GBR, and DEU approach their internal security policies and operational capabilities. The insights gained can inform policy decisions aimed at protecting citizens and critical infrastructure from evolving threats.

Furthermore, the event's location in FRA, a country with a significant role in international security cooperation, underscores its importance. It offers a unique opportunity for delegates from various countries, including those facing complex security challenges such as UKR and SDN, to engage with solutions and partnerships that could bolster their domestic security efforts. The exchange of knowledge and the formation of strategic alliances are crucial for developing resilient security postures in an interconnected world.

## How to prepare

Delegates preparing for Milipol Paris should undertake a comprehensive analysis of the current global security landscape, paying particular attention to emerging threats and technological solutions. This involves understanding the diverse perspectives of participating nations, which can be achieved through a thorough application of the \<a href="/learn/lessons/what-is-stakeholder-mapping">What Is Stakeholder Mapping?\</a> lesson. Identifying key government agencies and private sector entities that are driving innovation in homeland security will be crucial.

Effective participation requires not only an understanding of the technical aspects of security but also the geopolitical context in which these solutions are deployed. Delegates should consider how different national priorities, such as those of CHN or RUS, might influence the adoption and implementation of security technologies. Utilizing the principles outlined in the \<a href="/learn/lessons/dynamic-analysis">Dynamic Analysis\</a> lesson will enable delegates to anticipate potential areas of collaboration or divergence. Furthermore, understanding the \<a href="/learn/lessons/hidden-stakeholders">[Hidden Stakeholders](https://modeldiplomat.com/learn/lessons/hidden-stakeholders)\</a> in security policy can provide a strategic advantage in networking and advocacy.

## Topics & background

The background behind each topic and the actors that shape it.

1

General Assembly (GA)

### United Nations General Assembly: Countering the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons

Since the 2001 UN Programme of Action (PoA) and the 2013 Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), the General Assembly has been the principal forum for addressing the illicit flow of small arms and light weapons (SALW), which account for the majority of conflict deaths worldwide. Despite biennial reviews and the 2005 International Tracing Instrument, diversion from state stockpiles, ghost guns produced via 3D printing, and unregulated brokering continue to fuel conflicts from the Sahel to Haiti to Myanmar. The ATT has nearly 115 states parties, but key producers and importers including the United States, Russia, and China remain outside its binding framework. The debate has shifted in recent years toward emerging technologies: polymer and additively manufactured firearms that defeat traditional marking regimes, encrypted online marketplaces, and the convergence of SALW trafficking with organized crime and terrorist financing. The 2024 Fourth Review Conference of the PoA emphasized ammunition control, a long-standing gap, and produced a new Global Framework for Through-Life Conventional Ammunition Management adopted by the GA. Delegates must reconcile sovereign rights to legitimate defense procurement with stricter export controls, end-use monitoring, and victim assistance. Core fault lines include whether to bind ammunition under the ATT, how to regulate 3D-printed weapons without criminalizing civilian uses, and how to finance stockpile security in fragile states.

Security Council (SC)

### United Nations Security Council: Cybersecurity and the Protection of Critical Infrastructure

The Security Council has progressively engaged with cybersecurity since Estonia's 2007 cyberattacks, but formal action has been constrained by P5 disagreement over whether cyberspace falls within the Council's mandate. Russia and China have historically preferred negotiations under the General Assembly's Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG), while Western members have pushed for Council attention to state-sponsored intrusions against hospitals, energy grids, undersea cables, and financial systems. The 2021 Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack, the 2022 Viasat hack tied to the invasion of Ukraine, and successive intrusions against water utilities and healthcare networks have moved the file from abstract norm-setting to concrete questions of attribution and response. The OEWG's 2021 and 2025 consensus reports reaffirmed the applicability of international law to cyberspace and the eleven voluntary norms, including the prohibition on damaging critical infrastructure. Yet the OEWG's mandate expires in 2025, and member states are debating a successor mechanism — potentially a Programme of Action — even as ransomware syndicates, often operating from permissive jurisdictions, target essential services in both developed and developing states. The Council must address whether cyberattacks on critical infrastructure can constitute threats to international peace and security under Article 39, how attribution can be made credible without exposing intelligence sources, and how to extend protections to undersea cables and space-based assets that underpin global connectivity.

Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)

### Food and Agriculture Organization: Food Security in Protracted Armed Conflicts

FAO's 2024 Global Report on Food Crises found that over 280 million people faced acute food insecurity, with conflict the single largest driver in Sudan, Gaza, Yemen, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Ukraine. Security Council Resolution 2417 (2018) condemned the use of starvation as a method of warfare and obstruction of humanitarian access, but enforcement has been weak. The destruction of agricultural infrastructure — irrigation systems, seed banks, ports, and grain storage — has compounded acute hunger with long-term collapses in domestic production. The 2022 Black Sea Grain Initiative briefly stabilized global wheat and fertilizer markets after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but its 2023 collapse exposed how concentrated the world's calorie supply has become in a handful of exporters. FAO has expanded its Anticipatory Action and emergency livelihood programming, yet funding has not kept pace with overlapping crises, and access negotiations with parties to conflict remain fraught. Delegates must address how FAO can operationalize Resolution 2417, strengthen agricultural protection under international humanitarian law, coordinate with WFP on cash and in-kind transfers, and rebuild food systems in post-conflict settings — all while navigating climate shocks that increasingly interact with conflict to drive famine risk.

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)

### UN High Commissioner for Refugees: Protection in the Era of Mixed Migration and Securitized Borders

UNHCR was created in 1950 to address post-war European displacement, and its mandate was codified in the 1951 Refugee Convention and 1967 Protocol. By 2024, global forced displacement exceeded 120 million people for the first time, driven by conflicts in Sudan, Ukraine, Syria, Myanmar, and Gaza, alongside climate shocks and gang violence in the Americas. Most refugees are hosted by low- and middle-income neighbors — Iran, Turkey, Colombia, Uganda, Pakistan, and Bangladesh — straining public services and stoking domestic backlash. The 2018 Global Compact on Refugees sought to shift responsibility-sharing toward host communities through the Global Refugee Forum process. In parallel, however, several traditional asylum states have tightened borders, externalized processing (UK–Rwanda, EU–Tunisia and Libya arrangements, US asylum rule changes), and conflated refugee protection with irregular migration enforcement. UNHCR has warned that pushbacks, offshore detention, and denial of access to territory risk hollowing out the non-refoulement principle at the core of the Convention. Delegates face the challenge of expanding complementary pathways and resettlement places, financing protracted-situation hosts, addressing climate-displaced persons who fall outside the 1951 definition, and reinforcing protection standards as states increasingly frame migration as a security threat.

Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC)

### Economic and Social Council: Sovereign Debt Restructuring and Development Finance

Following successive shocks — COVID-19, the 2022 commodity-price spike, and rapid monetary tightening — a record number of low- and middle-income countries face debt distress. The IMF and World Bank classify roughly 60 percent of low-income countries as at high risk of or already in debt distress. The G20 Common Framework, launched in 2020 to coordinate restructurings among Paris Club and non-Paris Club creditors (notably China), has produced only a handful of completed cases — Chad, Zambia, Ghana — and has been criticized as slow, opaque, and insufficient for middle-income debtors. Developing countries, led by African states and the V20 climate-vulnerable grouping, have called for a UN-led multilateral sovereign debt workout mechanism, more concessional finance, and reform of credit rating agencies. The Bridgetown Initiative championed by Barbados, alongside the Africa Group's push at the Fourth Financing for Development Conference (FfD4), has reframed debt sustainability as inseparable from climate and SDG financing. ECOSOC must consider how to bridge the SDG financing gap, estimated at over USD 4 trillion annually, while balancing creditor confidence with debtor solvency. Core questions include whether to endorse a UN framework convention on sovereign debt, how to integrate climate-resilient debt clauses, and how to discipline new private and bilateral creditors outside the Paris Club.

UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC)

### Conference of the Parties to UNTOC: Disrupting Transnational Criminal Networks and Illicit Financial Flows

The UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, adopted in Palermo in 2000, together with its protocols on trafficking in persons, smuggling of migrants, and trafficking in firearms, is the principal global framework for cooperation against organized crime. With 192 parties, UNTOC underpins mutual legal assistance, extradition, asset recovery, and joint investigations. In 2018 the Conference of the Parties (COP) finally established a peer-review mechanism after years of negotiation, but implementation remains uneven. The threat landscape has evolved sharply since Palermo. Latin American cartels have expanded into European cocaine markets via the ports of Antwerp, Rotterdam, and Hamburg; Southeast Asian scam compounds in Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos have industrialized cyber-enabled fraud and human trafficking; environmental crime (illegal logging, mining, wildlife) has become one of the most lucrative criminal sectors; and synthetic drugs, particularly fentanyl precursors, have driven mass-casualty overdose crises in North America. Cryptocurrency, trade-based money laundering, and convergence with armed groups complicate enforcement. Delegates must strengthen the review mechanism, address gaps in the firearms and trafficking protocols, harmonize approaches to virtual assets and beneficial ownership transparency, and consider whether a new protocol — for instance on cybercrime or environmental crime — is warranted alongside the separately negotiated UN Cybercrime Convention adopted in 2024.

United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA)

### United Nations Environment Assembly: Negotiating a Global Treaty on Plastic Pollution

At UNEA-5.2 in March 2022, member states adopted Resolution 5/14, mandating an Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) to develop a legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment, by end-2024. Global plastic production has doubled in two decades to over 400 million tonnes annually, with roughly 11 million tonnes leaking into oceans each year. Microplastics have been detected in human blood, placentas, and Antarctic ice, and the petrochemical sector has been identified as a major and growing source of greenhouse-gas emissions. The INC process has been deeply contested. A High Ambition Coalition led by Norway, Rwanda, and the EU has pushed for binding production caps, chemical restrictions, and harmonized product design rules. A group of major oil and petrochemical producers — including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iran, and to a lesser extent the United States — has emphasized downstream waste management and voluntary national measures. The INC-5 session in Busan in late 2024 failed to reach consensus, and negotiations have continued into 2025–2026 under a contested mandate. UNEA must determine the architecture of the future treaty, the treatment of legacy pollution, financing for developing-country implementation through a dedicated fund or the GEF, and the interface with the Basel Convention on plastic waste trade. The just-transition implications for waste pickers and petrochemical-dependent economies are equally central.

North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)

### North Atlantic Council: Deterrence, Defense, and Adaptation on the Eastern Flank

Founded in 1949 by the Washington Treaty, NATO's collective-defense mission was reinvigorated by Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and transformed by the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Sweden and Finland joined the Alliance in 2023 and 2024 respectively, doubling NATO's land border with Russia and reshaping Baltic and Arctic security. The 2022 Madrid Strategic Concept identified Russia as the most significant and direct threat and characterized China as a systemic challenge for the first time. At the 2023 Vilnius and 2024 Washington summits, Allies endorsed new regional defense plans, raised the 2 percent of GDP defense-spending guideline to a floor rather than a ceiling, and established the NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU) command. Yet the Alliance faces persistent tensions: divergence on Ukraine's membership trajectory, debate over burden-sharing intensified by political shifts in the United States, hybrid threats including sabotage of undersea infrastructure and migrant instrumentalization on the Belarus–Poland border, and the need to integrate emerging technologies through the Defence Innovation Accelerator (DIANA) and the NATO Innovation Fund. Delegates must address force posture on the eastern flank, sustainable support to Ukraine, the China file and Indo-Pacific partnerships (the IP4: Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand), nuclear sharing arrangements, and resilience against hybrid and cyber threats targeting Allied societies.
