This year’s committee is the Disarmament and International Security Committee. The topic will be Addressing Digital Espionage and State Sponsored Hacking.

This is a double delegation committee. As part of our intergenerational theme, the VIGMUN Secretariat will assign partners based on varying backgrounds and MUN experience and share contact information of partners prior to the conference. However, delegates are also welcome to request a specific partner during registration.
