About the Committee

The United Nations Human Rights Council is reviewing human rights violations resulting from the division of Cyprus, frozen at a crucial moment following the Turkish military intervention on August 16, 1974. The focus is on the rights of displaced populations, minority protection, property restitution, and reconciliation efforts between Greek and Turkish Cypriots. Delegates must address past abuses, propose frameworks for justice and reparations, and explore avenues for peaceful coexistence and reunification in line with international human rights standards.
