ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL AFFAIRS COUNCIL

The United Nations’ Economic and Financial Committee, first converging on April 25th 1945, and most recently chaired by Cheikh Niang, plays a crucial role in the modern world. The Committee functions, in the simplest sense as a means of realizing macroeconomic goals, achieving financial stability, funding sustainable development, pushing the goal of globalization and eliminating poverty entirely. An example of a recent topic discussed is the conflict between Palestine and Israel over Jerusalem. The topics of debate for the Model Conference include the implementation of the West African ECO and the de-escalation of the ongoing Trade War between the USA and China. Delegates may expect a spirited but not overly technical debate over the best method of realizing these goals.
