NATO is a strategic military and political alliance formed to safeguard the freedom and security of its member states through collective defense. In this committee, delegates discuss international security issues such as global terrorism, emerging military technologies, cyber threats, and cooperative defense strategies. NATO ensures collective defense under Article 5 of its treaty, which states that an armed attack against one member is considered an attack against all members. Beyond military concerns, NATO also addresses diplomatic relations with non-member states and humanitarian missions. Delegates must work together to strengthen alliances, maintain stability, and adapt to evolving global challenges — ensuring peace through unity, strength, and mutual trust. NATO continues to expand, with recent members including Finland (2023) and Sweden (2024).
