2026 ACMUN Committee Topics
Each committee, apart from the Security Council, will have two topics to address over the course of the conference. Committees will choose which topic to start with at the conference. While students will likely cover more than one topic, it is possible that they will not.
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) will decide, as a group, which policy topics to deal with at the conference and thus will reflect real-world current geopolitics happening around the world.
Council of Arab League (AL)
(1) Developing cooperative frameworks for hosting, integrating, and repatriating displaced populations.
(2) Coordinating Arab League responses to rebuilding governance, infrastructure, and economies in conflict‑affected states
Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC)
(1) Eliminating racism, xenophobia and discrimination through the Sustainable Development Goals
(2) Role of Open Educational Resources in Sustainable Development
Human Rights Council (HRC)
(1) Neurotechnology and Human Rights
(2) Right to Affordable Food

Position Papers
There will be awards for position papers, and uploaded position papers will be shared on the ACMUN web site prior to the conference. To be considered for an award, the position paper must be uploaded by October 26 11:59 pm CST. Each position paper should be one page-long with one paragraph per policy topic — listing the country and committee at the top of the document, and stating the policy topic above each policy-topic paragraph. Position papers should not contain the name of the student or the school upon it. Position Papers may not use Generative AI to write or generate ideas within it, except for the use of Grammar Check, Spell Check, and Grammarly to revise language. Name your position papers with the following name convention: Abbreviated Name of Your Committee_Name of your Country. For example, a Bangladeshi position paper for ECOSOC would be named “ECOSOC_Bangladesh”. Awards will be announced at the end of the conference.
