The Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee (SOCHUM) is one of the six committees of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). SOCHUM is responsible for addressing social, humanitarian, and cultural issues around the world, including human rights, indigenous issues, and the rights of vulnerable populations. The committee serves as a platform for member states to discuss policies, share experiences, and develop strategies to promote and protect human rights globally. This year, the committee aims to deliberate on the increased discrimination and criminalisation of the LGBTQIA+ community. Historically, discussions pertaining to the agenda have been largely unilateral in nature, with discussions beginning and ending at the Right of expression. However, the kind of discrimination that comes in the scope of the agenda is both at a personal and at a systemic level. For deliberating on effective solutions delegates must be thoroughly well versed with the deep rooted arguments presented by both the state and its people, and use them as a basis for developing their own case. Success in this committee does not require a woke or conservative mindset, but instead, a tolerant one.
