SSN-SNUC MUN 12th Edition

Agenda

Discussion on global trade policies with a special emphasis on barriers, sanctions and impediments to trade developments

Committee Location

Brief

The Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) is one of the six principal organs of the United Nations, responsible for driving the global agenda on sustainable development, economic progress, and social justice.

With its broad mandate and consultative role, it brings together Member States, NGOs, and experts and serves as a central platform for fostering debate, shaping policy, and coordinating efforts to bridge the gap between economic strategy and humanitarian progress.

It varies across a range of issues - from poverty eradication and climate action to education, health, gender equality, and international trade.

If engaging in impactful discussions on economic growth, social equity, and sustainable solutions is your cup of tea, welcome already!

Executive Board

Chairperson

Kathiyayini Sivakumar

A decade of MUNs, global accolades, and a love for debate — say hello to Kathiyayini! Bold, intimidating, yet absolutely wholesome — these are the words you'd associate with Kathiyayini Sivakumar, our Chair of ECOSOC. She has been MUNing since 2014, with close to 50 conferences under her belt, including the prestigious Harvard MUN China and Yale MUN Korea in 2017. She's an enthusiastic participant in the Indian MUNing circuit. Kathiyayini is a CSE graduate from SSN College of Engineering, and after 9 SSN MUNs — 4 of them in an organisational capacity — she is super excited to return for the 12th edition of her favourite conference. Apart from debate and Model UN, her interests lie in art, books, and running.
