UNHRC

Addressing ethical concerns and regulatory gaps in adoption and surrogacy

UNHRC

The United Nations Human Rights Council (henceforth referred to as UNHRC) is a body within the United Nations made to inform decisions regarding issues of human rights.

The UNHRC is the highest decision-making body in the United Nations for issues relating to human rights, and works closely with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in carrying out appraisals and implementing solutions to the topics discussed in committee sessions. Through its work recommending changes to policy, as well as establishing UN frameworks on human rights issues, the UNHRC aims to promote and protect all human rights, ensuring their enforcement and responding to violations.

Although UNHRC formulated resolutions are not legally binding, they serve as the groundwork for the systems and regulations that are recommended for adoption by member states of the UN.

ADAM

BLAKE

DEPUTY CHAIR | BATHMUN

Adam is a final year Politics and International Relations Student at the university of Bath who finally bought into MUN halfway through their second year. Making up the other half of Bath's Australian/British representation alongside Alistair, Adam finds enjoyment in the details of MUN more than the thrill of debate.

Outside of MUN they are passionate about cycling of all varieties from track to cyclocross. They are looking forward to their first time chairing at a MUN conference, hopefully contributing to an enjoyable experience for their delegates regardless of skill level or confidence.

ELENA
TAYLOR

HEAD CHAIR | BUCHAREST MUN

Elena graduated last year with a BA in History from the University of Bristol and is now a masters student studying the History of Romanian Communism at the University of Bucharest. She began her MUN journey in 2022 and has been involved in many MUN related activities since. In her spare time Elena likes travelling, drinking overpriced coffees in aesthetic caffès and shopping for vintage jewellery in tiny, dodgy markets. She also loves pestering the BathMUN secretariat and a certain ex BrisMUN president :)

AITANA

BERENGUER

DEPUTY CHAIR | QMUN

Aitana is a second year English and European law student at Queen Mary University of London. She was born and raised in Alicante, Spain and later moved to Munich, Germany for Sixth form. She started MUN during her first year of university after years of being too scared and intimidated to join (and she loved it). In her free time you will find Aitana hanging out with her friends, going on walks and spending her money on overpriced matcha lattes :)
