Debate Topics
Topic A:
Transnational Organized Crime as a Threat to International Peace and Security: Toward a Coordinated Global
Response.
Topic B:
Autonomous Weapons and Artificial Intelligence in Warfare: Innovation or Legalized Assassination?
General context
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is the primary international body responsible for maintaining global
peace and security. In today’s rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape, the Council is confronted with emerging
and complex challenges that require urgent, coordinated, and multilateral responses. Two of the most pressing
issues currently under discussion are transnational organized crime and the integration of autonomous weapons
and artificial intelligence in warfare.
First, transnational organized crime has escalated beyond national borders to become a direct threat to
international peace and security. Criminal networks engage in human trafficking, drug and arms smuggling,
cybercrime, and money laundering, undermining the sovereignty of states, corrupting institutions, and
destabilizing entire regions. These illicit activities are often linked to terrorism and armed conflict, making a
unified global strategy not only necessary but urgent. Effective cooperation among states, intelligence sharing,
and legal harmonization are essential steps toward dismantling these powerful criminal structures.
Second, the use of autonomous weapons systems and artificial intelligence in modern warfare raises serious
ethical, legal, and security concerns. While some view these innovations as tools for increased military efficiency
and precision, others argue that delegating life-and-death decisions to machines may amount to "legalized
assassination." The lack of international regulation and accountability mechanisms makes the deployment of such
technologies deeply controversial. This issue challenges existing humanitarian law and calls into question the
moral boundaries of armed conflict in the digital age.
QARMAs (Questions A Resolution Must Answer)
Topic A:
• If transnational organized crime has infiltrated states, corrupted institutions, and destabilized regions, why has the
global response remained fragmented and reactive instead of coordinated and preventative?
