THE ROAD TO RECOVERY

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is a transatlantic security organization founded in 1949 on the promise of collective security: that an attack against one would be an attack against all. This year, at OxfordMUN Canada 2025, BerkeleyMUN is exploring two complex topics under NATO. Topic A explores the incredibly complex issue of the Yemeni Civil War, an issue that dates back over 100 years and has resulted in one of the largest humanitarian crises in history. This committee will focus primarily on preserving the quality of life for the people of the region using the power of NATO. Topic B explores the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean Sea. In 2016, NATO deployed Operation Sea Guardian, which was tasked with surveilling the Mediterranean and disrupting smuggling networks. However, despite action by NATO and the EU, the illegal flow of drugs, terror, and people still exists. The scope of the issue is immense, so for the purposes of this committee, delegates will focus on the issue of smuggling, both of humans as well as drugs. This committee will force delegates to overcome plateaus in progress and jumpstart the road to recovery.
