UNITED NATIONS
HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL
A committee that upholds the United Declaration of Human Rights, UNHRC is where the big guns come out to fight for fairness and equality on an individual level, representing the interest of the global populace. Imagine yourself at HFS MUN 2025, sitting down to discuss how to protect and promote the rights of people everywhere. From refugees and migrants to LGBTQ+ rights and freedom of speech, the agendas on the table are as diverse as they are vital. By jumping into the UNHRC, you're not just playing diplomat for a day – you're becoming a voice for the voiceless and working towards a world where everyone's rights are respected.
Agenda:
​Deliberation upon regulatory functions of State Government with reference to Suppression of Press Freedoms, Policing and their impacts on fundamental freedoms.

Step into committee with Prakket Dholekar, and you’ll quickly realise: this isn’t about formality, it’s about intention. His vision for UNHRC is rooted in the belief that a great committee isn’t measured by how loudly people speak, but by how deeply they’re heard. Whether you're new to the circuit or a veteran in a blazer, his goal is the same: to build a space that is thoughtful, open, and unafraid of discomfort.
​
He doesn’t wait for the world to hand him a moment — he creates one. His philosophy is simple: don’t just show up, arrive. And when you do, make sure you’re not hiding from the moment meant for you. Because to Prakket, impact isn’t about volume. It’s about showing up, standing firm, and knowing exactly why you’re in the room.

If you think Tanisha Chadha is your typical EB member, think again. She’s a force to be reckoned with - on a mission to create the most epic, unforgettable committee experience.
She lives by her own rhythm (and her violin) but never misses a beat as a team player. When not running her own brand, she’s curled up watching Disney movies. With Tanisha at the helm, MUN is going to be one heck of a ride.
