Description
Since their conception in the 20th century, drones have become highly advanced and useful for many purposes. This has not only increased their popularity amongst governments, but among the general public as well. However, with this great influence, drones also require increased regulations for the purpose of promoting safety and fostering innovation, as with any developing technology. For the duration of the committee, delegates of UNCSTD will be putting forth their ideas and collaborating with others to ensure a solution can be reached. Delegates will be encouraged to tackle subjects such as economic impact, law and surveillance, monitoring environmental changes, as well as any other topics brought up during committee.
