Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC)
The United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) is one of the principal organs of the United Nations, responsible for promoting international economic, social, and environmental cooperation and development. It serves as a central platform for dialogue, policy coordination, and recommendations aimed at advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
ECOSOC oversees the work of numerous UN specialized agencies, commissions, and programmes in areas such as public health, education, employment, and social welfare. Several of them, including UNRWA, WHO, and WFP, operate directly on the ground in the Middle East.
This session, the Council will focus on the humanitarian situation in the Palestinian Territories and the Golan Heights. In Gaza, the population faces famine, mass displacement, and destroyed infrastructure, while humanitarian agencies struggle with access restrictions and a severe lack of funding. In the Golan Heights, the collapse of the 1974 Disengagement Agreement has brought new instability to the region. Delegates will look for practical ways to secure humanitarian access, close the funding gap, and support reconstruction, while leaving questions of sovereignty and security to the bodies responsible for them.
The committee’s task is a difficult one: to find solutions that states with very different positions can agree on, and to make sure that political disagreement does not stand in the way of help for civilians.
Agenda: Ensuring economic and social stability and access to humanitarian aid for the population of the Palestinian territories and the Golan Heights
Honorable Delegates!
It is my great pleasure to welcome you on behalf of the President of one of the most dynamic and undoubtedly the most vital bodies of the United Nations, the Economic and Social Council. This year, delegates will be working with an extremely pressing and challenging agenda. Work in the committee will encompass everything from heated polemics and passionate debate to creative speeches and full consensus. Our professional presidium will make you fall in love with the Model UN movement if this is your first event of this kind, and if you have already taken part in simulations before, then all that remains is to prepare for one of the brightest events of 2027!
Sincerely,
Tsvetkov George
President of the Economic and Social Council
Honorable delegates,
It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the Economic and Social Council at C-MIMUN 2027. This year, our discussions will concern complex humanitarian and socioeconomic challenges that directly affect millions of lives. The Council’s work calls for careful attention to people’s immediate needs and the conditions for lasting recovery. I hope you will approach these questions with well-founded arguments, respect for different perspectives, and a willingness to work towards practical solutions.
For some of you, this will be your first experience of Model United Nations. The agenda is indeed challenging, public speaking can be intimidating, and drafting a resolution may leave you unsure where to begin. Yet no one arrives knowing everything. So I encourage you to speak up, ask questions, and make the most of the opportunities before you! We will be glad to support you along the way. Enjoy the debates, the conversations between sessions, and the chance to meet people who may become lasting friends. I look forward to meeting each of you and hope C-MIMUN will become an experience you remember with warmth.
Sincerely yours,
Vice-President of the Economic and Social Council,
Marina Timoshenko
Honorable delegates,
It is my great pleasure and honor to welcome you to the Economic and Social Council at C-MIMUN 2027.
This year’s agenda is by no means a simple one. You will deal with the plight of millions of people in the Palestinian Territories and the Golan Heights. Your goal will be to achieve short- and long-term alleviation of suffering or, on the contrary, to slow down and limit international efforts in these regions. The choice is yours, but whichever you make, your position must be well thought out, logically consistent, and grounded in facts. Please remember that the Council’s focus is on economic, social, and humanitarian aspects, rather than on questions of final political or territorial status.
As experts, we have high expectations for our delegates. We want you to be ambitious, rigorous, and willing to take risks in order to achieve your goals. We welcome honest mistakes as part of learning, but we will not tolerate carelessness and negligence. Do not forget that you are the driving force of the debates. For our part, we will act as faithful stewards of the process.
I look forward to meeting you all. Show us your best.
In diplomacy and excellence,
Expert of the Economic and Social Council,
Alexander Pitsenko
Dear delegates,
On behalf of the ECOSOC Committee experts, I warmly welcome you to the C-MIMUN 2027.
This year, we are set to examine, and hopefully reach a consensus on, an agenda of paramount relevance today, one that directly impacts millions of lives in the Southern Levant and beyond. Navigating such complex humanitarian and socio-economic dynamics requires more than just formal statements. It demands statesmanship, deep research, and a genuine willingness to listen. As delegates of ECOSOC, your responsibility goes beyond advocating for national interests; it is about bridging gaps and constructing actionable solutions where others see only division.
I kindly ask you to approach all discussions with strict objectivity, mutual respect, and intellectual rigor. Let us work tirelessly toward outcomes that not only reflect the highest standards of international law, but also ensure dignity, relief, and lasting peace for all affected populations.
I look forward to seeing your dedication, diplomatic tact, and passionate debates in the committee room.
Sincerely,
Expert of the Economic and Social Council,
Sofja Kalinina
In order to register for a C–MIMUN 2027, you have to respond to several questions on the selected committee and agenda. This year, we have replaced thesis papers with a question-based format. The questions serve to assess candidates’ analytical competence and structured thinking.
Each entry requires between 3 and 6 sentences. There is no minimum word count constraint, provided your response remains within the stated sentence amount length.
Tips for answering:
- State your central thesis directly. Avoid redundant background information or unnecessary context;
- Focus on clear logical progression and justification of your arguments. Demonstrate your analytical reasoning rather than merely summarising known facts;
- Ensure that your response follows a clear structure: introduce your argument, support it with your reasoning, address potential countearguments where applicable and finish with a clear concluding thought;
- Keep your answers focused on the core problem framed by the question. Avoid shifting to unrelated broader generalisations;
- Attempt to remain objective throughout your entries.
A position paper is a brief document in which you present the stance of your assigned country on the committee’s agenda. It shows what your country thinks about the problem, what it cares about, and what it is ready to propose during the debate.
The general advice is to start with the context. Read the expert’s report (and check relevant sources mentioned there), find the main UN documents and reports on the topic. Look at what your country has already said and done on this issue: its official statements, its votes on resolutions, its contributions to aid programs, etc. You speak on behalf of your country, so the position has to match its real policy, even if it differs from your own view.
Structure
- Introduction. Explain why the issue matters in general and for your state in particular;
- Main part. Describe your country’s interests and priorities, the UN actions or policies it has supported or opposed, and the solutions it proposes;
- Conclusion. Summarize your position and say what your country will try to achieve during the debate.
Practical Tips
- Be more specific. Propose concrete measures instead of vague calls: attach numbers, timeframes, and limits to your proposals. For example, “a humanitarian corridor monitored by the UN for 90 days” is stronger than “we support aid”.
- Check your facts. Use a few reliable sources and be ready to say where each claim comes from.
- Do not rely too much on AI. Writing a position paper is, above all, a chance to learn about the problem yourself. A beautiful AI-written position paper without actual knowledge will not help you beyond the opening speech.
Formatting Requirements
- Length: no more than 1 page of A4;
- Font: Times New Roman, size 12;

- Line spacing: 1.5.
