General Assembly

 The Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee (SOCHUM)

The Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee (commonly called SOCHUM or the Third
Committee) is one of the six main committees of the United Nations General Assembly.
Founded in 1945, it was created to address the social and humanitarian concerns that
world leaders recognized as essential to lasting peace. While other committees focus on
security or economics, SOCHUM focuses on human dignity
