The UNHCR committee is focused on helping asylum seekers from Latin America properly get the resources and support they need to immigrate to a safer developed nation to settle in. UNHCR provides aid and support in protecting lives and building a better future for those who were forced to flee from their original nation-state from persecution. Developed nations like the United States among others claim that they reached capacity and limits to give homes to asylum seekers from various countries in Latin America.
The committee will be assigned to provide solutions to protecting asylum seekers and making sure that they have a safe place to permanently settle in without international conflicts with other developed nations.
Head Chair: Neya Ahmed
My name is Neya Ahmed. I am a first-year student majoring in international relations. I plan to double major in African American studies and minor in human rights. I have a passion for social justice, which also led me to pursue the pre-law track in my studies. Hopefully, one day, I will become a human rights lawyer.
I started model UN during my sophomore year in high school and have been invested in this community ever since. Model UN has further expanded my passion for learning the ins and outs of international law and I hope Model UN could spark a passion that you invested in as well.
