Radicalization and Recoupment of Terrorism in Eastern Asia

The Radicalization and Recoupment of Terrorism in Eastern Asia is a topic that the secretariat of SICMUN II is proud to present as for High School Security Council as one that is both relevant and thought-provoking for delegates to discuss. The UNSC was bequeathed the responsibility “to determine the existence of a threat to the peace or act of aggression and to recommend what action should be taken,” so the extreme dangers posed by radical threats doubtlessly fall within that jurisdiction. The reports of potential negotiations with terrorists and the increasing number of terrorist threats and accounts in (especially Southeastern Asian nations) have reached a concerning level and deserve attention from the UN and other nonprofit or non-governmental organizations. A notable example of a nation struggling with roots of these organizations is Indonesia, with Jamaah Ansharut Tauhid, an offshoot of Jemaah Islamiyah. Delegates are encouraged to look to peaceful solutions initially, as always, instead of resorting to militaristic methods.

Usage of AI to Analyze Footage and Privacy of the Individual

The role of artificial intelligence and associated technology in police force data analysis is one that has been widely debated over recent years with regards to human rights on either side. A specific example for delegates to consider would be the use of AI to analyze body camera footage in a potential incident involving whether the use of a gun was a necessity or not.
