Combating organ trafficking by establishing an international policy
The problem of organ trafficking is becoming more and more a global one, as illegal organ trade is happening across international borders.
It is estimated that illegal organ trafficking has generated a annual profit of $600 million to $1.2billion with activities across a wide array of countries.
In order to effectively address this issue delegates are faced with the challenge of establishing international guidelines that will help all member states to end illegal organ trafficking.

Dear Delegates
My name is Katharina Wagner, and I am delighted to serve as your Chair in the
Human Rights Committee once more. In my opinion this topic is very important,
seeing as organ trafficking poses a significant health policy issue on an
international level.
On a more personal note, I am 16 years old and currently attending the 11th grade at the Dreilinden Gymnasium. I like to draw and read in my free time, as well as listening to music and, of course, attending and being part of MUN conferences. This will be my second time chairing and my 10th conference altogether.
I hope that you will enjoy this MUN conference and be a part of the 3MUN journey, whether you’ve participated last year or not. Furthermore, I hope that you will not only learn about the topic at hand, but that you will be able to improve your skills and get inspired by the ideas of other delegates and chairs.
Sincerely,
Katharina Wagner
Chair of the Human Rights Council
Dear Delegates of the Human Rights Committee,
I am honored to welcome you to the Human Rights committee of the second annual 3MUN conference. I am currently a student at the Nelson Mandela School, and will be entering the 11th grade in the coming term. My hobbies include drawing and reading, and I recently began practicing Taekwondo. This experience will mark my fifth MUN conference.
As a transcendental value existing across all eras and nations, the protection of human rights through compromise is not only a unique diplomatic cause, but also one of the most frequently violated ones. In the upcoming conference, during which we will discuss ways to combat organ trafficking by establishing international policies, it will be essential to keep in mind its social, economic and individual impacts in order to establish a thorough case for the country you represent. Particularly pervasive in poor and developing nations, organ trafficking is an abject strike against human dignity. Though monetary compensation for donors is a legal procedure in certain countries, such as Iran, problems are bound to arise in the face of medical confidentiality regulations and a lack of communication between national health organizations and law enforcement. While possible solutions such as presumed consent policies have been considered, cultural factors often prevent their successful implementation. More information will be available in the research report.
I sincerely look forward to working with you all on furthering our diplomatic skills and understanding of current situations, and expect fruitful debates in the upcoming conference.
Sincerely,
Mina Wang
Chair of the Human Rights Council
