Topic

Strengthening the Multilateral Trading System in the Face of Rising Protectionism and Trade Wars

Committee Overview

Tariffs, restrictive trade measures, and escalating disputes can fragment markets, disrupt supply chains, and make the benefits of international trade less predictable and inclusive.

Delegates will examine how multilateral rules, negotiation, transparency, and dispute resolution can respond to protectionist pressures while recognizing countries’ different development needs.

Preparation Tips

  • Research your assigned country’s or delegation’s position thoroughly.
  • Prepare a well-structured position paper that clearly explains that position.
  • Review the rules of procedure and practice formal debate.
  • Use the official Study Guide as the starting point for further research.
