In this ECOSOC committee, delegates will have the opportunity to deliberate and strategize on two pressing issues: cybersecurity in political elections and the treatment of children associated with terrorist groups. With diverse representation and perspectives, delegates will engage in dynamic and thoughtful discussions to propose policies that tackle the evolving challenges of global security and human rights in an ever-changing world.

Dear Delegates,

I am excited to welcome you to the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (CCPCJ) of ILMUNC! My name is Jake, and as the chair I look forward to guiding you through engaging and impactful discussions that explore various aspects of international peace and security.

Established by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) in 1992, the CCPCJ acts as the principal policy-making body of the United Nations in crime prevention and criminal Justice. It aims to improve international action to combat national and transnational crime and ensure the efficiency and fairness of criminal justice administration systems. The Commission also offers Member States a platform for information and expertise exchange with the aim of improving international action to combat national and transnational crime and the efficiency and fairness of criminal justice administration systems. I look forward to hearing your ideas on how to best regulate and address these issues.

A little bit about me, I am a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences double-majoring in English and Cinema & Media Studies. I am originally from San Francisco, California. This will be my first conference with ILMUNC and I am very excited to work with all of you and hope you have a great experience! Some of my interests include reading, watching movies, DJing, writing about music, and working out.

Me, Nicole and Moe are all looking forward to meeting you and working with you in CCPCJ. Please feel free to reach out to any of us if you have questions regarding the committee.

Dear Delegates,

I am excited to welcome you to the United Nations Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (CCPCJ) of ILMUNC! My name is Moe Mansour, and as the co-chair, I look forward to guiding you through engaging and impactful discussions that explore various aspects of crime prevention and criminal justice. The CCPCJ, as one of the key bodies of the United Nations, focuses on addressing criminal justice systems, crime prevention, and transnational issues that affect global security and the rule of law. Ensuring the safety and well-being of communities around the world requires collective action and effective collaboration between international and regional organizations. These entities play a critical role in strengthening the frameworks for combating crime, terrorism, and ensuring justice.

Key topics we will explore include cybersecurity in political elections, a critical area in today’s digital age where the integrity of electoral processes must be safeguarded from cyber threats. Additionally, we will address the treatment of children associated with terrorist groups, an urgent issue that requires a balanced approach between ensuring justice and providing rehabilitation to these vulnerable individuals. I am eager to hear your innovative ideas and insights on these pressing topics.

A little bit about me, I am a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences studying neuroscience and economics. I’m an international student from Beirut, Lebanon, and participated in my high school’s Model UN club. This will be my first conference that I have helped to plan with ILMUNC and hope that you all have an enriching and valuable experience! Outside of ILMUNC, I am on Penn Student Government, the Undergraduate Assembly. I love walking and skiing and try to enjoy the outdoors as much as possible! Jake, Nicole, and I are all looking forward to working with you in the CCPCJ committee. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions regarding the committee.
