4 General Assembly Committee (4GA)
The 4th Committee of the United Nations General Assembly known as the Special Political and Decolonization Committee. It was established during the UN’s inception in 1945 and has since evolved to address a changing global landscape. During the mid-20th century, it played a crucial role in the decolonization process. Nowadays the committee deals with a diverse set of political issues, such as peacekeeping operations, outer space and human rights. The 4th Committee occupies a unique position within the UN system. It acts as a forum where member states can engage in dialogue, negotiations, and decision-making on issues that impact global peace, security, and human rights. The number and extent of active missions demonstrate the importance of the committee’s work.
Agenda: The Topical Issues of UN Peacekeeping Activities
Honorable delegates and esteemed guests,
Oh behalf of the president of 4th Committee of the General Assembly,
It is a pleasure to welcome you to the C-MIMUN!
Our committee’s agenda maintains its relevance, as the issues of security and peace continue to be a source of concern for every nation and individual. During the meetings, we will delve into the complexities of conflict prevention, conflict resolution and peace-building.
Dear delegates, this model is a unique opportunity not only to develop your diplomatic and communication skills, but also to find new soulmates and become part of something special. It is a great chance to broaden horizons and test your limits!

Dear delegates and esteemed guests,
I warmly welcome you to the Model United Nations! Our presidium will do everything possible to ensure that this Model is executed in the best way possible and becomes truly unforgettable for you.
Model UN is a platform for mastering diplomatic and communication skills, a place where new acquaintances are made, and where dreams come true. But personally for me, the Model is a legacy.
In today’s world, having knowledge in international politics is critically essential, and the model provides such knowledge. At present, UN peacekeeping missions remain one of the most effective tools of maintaining peace and security, reducing the intensity of armed conflicts, and preserving the status quo. However, there are still regions where tensions persist despite the efforts of peacekeepers. Additionally, peacekeeping missions cannot be established in all the places where they are needed.
Dear Friends, thank you for choosing our committee, and see you at the Model!
Sincerely yours, Mr. Vice-President
Lavr
