Amid the middle ages where the bubonic plague terrorized and killed an estimated 50 millions people in Europe alone, bodies were piling up quickly. While most were buried within 3 days of their death to avoid cross contamination, some bodies were used for other, more nefarious purposes. Bodies of those who had been killed by the plague were used as weapons and flung into enemy territory to spread the deadly disease. With warfare evolving, new biochemical agents such as anthrax and botulism toxins were soon used as weapons of mass destruction and terror. In modern day warfare, biological weapons continue to be used in some form or another ranging from mustard gas used during World War I to the herbicide Agent Orange used during the Vietnam War. Join INTERPOL in a thrilling quest to crack down on terrifying modern day bioterrorism and suppress the stockpiles of inhumane weapons other countries are rumored to possess… Watch your back! The countries may be in the room with you, pretending to be your ally…

WHO has always been one of the most standard prestigious committees of all time in mun history, that is solely the reason why it has become a standard at most conferences. Although it's missing a flair of creativity, which is what JMUN would like to change. Here at WHO you are going to be engaging in discussions regarding healthcare accessibility, where you might ask? Well it is going to be based upon a WW2 with occurring encounters from opposing countries amidst all these encounters healthcare takes an all time low, struggling to provide accessible healthcare to civilians while also it being a critical problem on the warfield itself. Be prepared to make spontaneous decisions on occurring events during this time. Don’t forget to look out for those that may seem out of place (or out of time???)
