The LEGAL Committee is the Sixth Main Committee of the UN General Assembly. While international law-making negotiations may take place in a number of specialised bodies of the UN, negotiations related to general international law are usually held at the Sixth Committee. The mandate includes making recommendations in order to encourage the progressive development of international law and its codification (Art. 13 of the UN Charter). In practice, the LEGAL Committee elaborates on new treaties, adopts them and recommends them to states for their subsequent signature, ratification, and accession.

I’m a 20-year-old Swiss International Relations student and is currently doing the second year of her bachelor at the University of Geneva. I got into MUNs after my history teacher signed up my entire class for a local high school level conference and I have been hooked ever since. So far, I have been around twenty conferences as a delegate, chair and crisis staff all over Europe, including last year’s edition of CologneMUN. I’m honored to be part of the chairing team of CologneMUN this year and hope to make this edition as unforgettable as the last!
