United Nations General Assembly
Topic:
"Combatting Intellectual Property Theft and Counterfeiting in a Globalized Economy"
Committee Overview
The General Assembly is one of the six principal organs of the United Nations, serving as a forum for all member states to discuss and address global issues. As the primary deliberative body, it plays an irreplaceable role in shaping international policies, fostering cooperation, and promoting legal frameworks that protect economic and social interests worldwide.
With globalization and technological advancements accelerating trade and innovation, the unauthorized use of intellectual property has become a major challenge. Counterfeit goods not only harm legitimate businesses but also pose health and safety risks to consumers and undermine economic stability.
Delegates will work together to assess the effectiveness of existing international agreements and explore ways to enhance enforcement, cooperation, and innovation while ensuring fair access to knowledge and technology.
