The Economic and Financial Committee (ECOFIN) is the Second of the six main committees that make up the United Nations. Dedicated to addressing issues surrounding global finance and economics, issues related to development, as well questions related to the economic freedom of 'special countries,' the work of ECOFIN is drastically important to ensuring world peace and security. While ECOFIN typically meets on an annual basis, this special session has been called to address the economic situation in Palestine, and aims hopes to have a solution that will ultimately benefit both the people of Palestine, as well as the international community as a whole. While it is widely anticipated that there will be much pushback from the Isreali delegation present, it is important that the committee remain diplomatic and strive to find a non-partisan and unbiased solution to the problem in Palestine. Will the committee be able to come up with a feasible solution? How will Israel and Palestine react? What does the future of conflict in the region look like?
My name is Phoebe Burns (any pronouns). I'll be chairing the economic and financial committee. I am a sophomore Anthropology and Sociology major. I am also part of the Gender and Sexuality Alliance at Rhodes as well as the Rhodes College Fencing Club. You can catch me doom-scrolling on Instagram reels (not TikTok) and teaching myself to crochet. This is my first year doing MUN with Rhodes, and I'm super excited to chair for y'all!
