We hope that it is here that you will discover what an amazing activity Model United Nations truly is; it is the only forum in which you see academic rigour and social relations come together in one place. At every conference we attended, we learned an incredible amount and made lots of new friends; above all, MUN teaches people to accept others and themselves. The concept of this summit is to have two parallel committees: one of the powered individuals from the Marvel Universe and a United Nations committee made up of world leaders. After discussing the chosen topics in your own committee, representatives from both the rooms will meet in a summit to try and reach an agreement. After the summit, you’ll return to your committees to get the treaty ratified. This is precisely what happened last year, where both cabinets were able to reach an agreement. We hope to build on this success this year. 3 UN Commission on Superhuman Activity London International Model United Nations 2020 At its core, Model United Nations is a tool for empowerment and there are many people without whom this summit would not have taken place. We would therefore like to thank the LIMUN Foundation Board of Trustees and the following individuals: Zeina Dowidar for her kindness, Moshka Mehta for her friendship and Cynthia Bossuyt for their exceptional selflessness and bravery. Have fun! Yours faithfully, Helena Granik, Zoe Braddick, Kelli-Anne Tim, and Zeesha Shirin Bandyopadhyay 4 UN Commission on Superhuman Activity London International Model United Nations 2020 Introduction to the Marvel Committee Set in the Marvel Cinematic and Comic Universe, with all history, storylines and understandings within these are an accepted and recommended background for this committee. Since the establishment of the United Nations in 1945, there has been no war between great powers. However, even at its founding, new threats began to emerge; threats that had the power to create just as much instability, destruction, and death as a war between the superpowers. From the attacks of the mutant terrorist Magneto in the 1970s to the Chitauri invasion of New York in 2012, it was clear that the UN’s goal of keeping peace in the world extended beyond keeping peace between nations1. Following the attack on Sokovia City in 2015, the United Nations created a committee aimed at tackling the question of legislation and enhanced humans2. Spearheaded by U.S. Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross, the Commission on Sokovia offered all known powered humans the choice between working for the UN within a legal framework, or the cessation of all abnormal activities. The result was a civil war between the powered individuals of the world. Split between those for and against registration, heroes and wanted criminals joined either of the sides in a battle that claimed property and more than a few lives. The outcome resulted in many of the most accomplished and valiant heroes in the world being placed under arrest or going into hiding3. The United Nations Commission on Superhuman Activity (UNCSA) was created with the purpose of protecting the unpowered peoples of the world. In comparison to the enhanced humans, both heroes and terrorists, most 1 Daniel Gindis and Lara Govea, UN Commission on Superhuman Activities, London International Model United Nations (London: London International Model United Nations, 2019), 7 2 Ibid. 3 Ibid. 5 UN Commission on Superhuman Activity London International Model United Nations 2020 of the citizens of the world can be considered in the category of the defenceless4. Last year, Secretary General António Guterres invited both humans and superhumans to resolve the pressing issue of superhuman regulation, where a Resolution, Resolution 26/02, was ratified for the first and only time. They have been invited back to grapple with one of the following issues: The Use and Regulation of Time Manipulation and Restoration and Integration – Dealing with the Aftermath of the Blip. 4 Ibid. 6 UN Commission on Superhuman Activity London International Model United Nations 2020 TOPIC A: USE AND REGULATION OF TIME MANIPULATION Introduction to the topic CLASSES OF ENHANCED HUMANS Powered individuals can be divided into the following six classes: skill, tech, science, cosmic, mutant and mystic. Each class has been evaluated on its own. Some enhanced humans fall into more than one category (e.g. Deadpool: Science, Mutant and Skill)5. 5 Daniel Gindis and Almas Haidery, United Nations Commission On Sokovia (London: London International Model United Nations, 2017),12 7 UN Commission on Superhuman Activity London International Model United Nations 2020 SKILL Skilled heroes have no supernatural powers but have reached such proficiency in a specific type of skill to deem themselves lethal weapons. Examples include the Avenger Hawkeye for his skill with a bow and arrow, the Winter Soldier and Black Widow for their hand to hand combat ability, and the Punisher who has single-handedly killed over 600 criminals and wounded over 2000 more6. TECH Tech heroes are either machines themselves or humans in suits of armour that make them extremely powerful. Examples of machine entities are the Avengers Vision and the killer robot Ultron. Examples of humans using such weapons are Tony Stark (Iron Man) and James Rhodes (War Machine). Humans with grafted technological implants such as Yuriko Oyama or the Reavers are also considered tech. Peter Quill (Starlord), whose combative advantage derives from his weapons, also falls into this category7. Unlike Hawkeye, who’s skill with the bow and arrow is enhanced by a better bow, Peter Quill derives his skill from the weapons he uses. SCIENCE This category pertains to anyone whose powers derive from earth-based science. This includes individuals who were enhanced by lab tests, radioactive rays, or other chemical alterations. Examples of science heroes are Captain America and Spider-Man, while villains of this category are Electro and the Green Goblin. The Hulk also falls into this category8. COSMIC 6 Ibid. 7 Ibid. 8 Ibid. 8 UN Commission on Superhuman Activity London International Model United Nations 2020 The cosmic class of enhanced humans generally come from space or other realms; some are earth-born and experimented on by species from outer space, and thus also pertain to this category. Examples include Gamora and Drax of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Carol Danvers, who owes her powers to the explosion of a Kree device, is also classified as cosmic. Cosmic characters similarly include Black Bolt and Medusa of the Inhumans, because they represent an entire nation of thousands, as opposed to individual space born creatures like Rocket Racoon9. MUTANT These individuals have powers given to them by evolution. Many mutants on earth many even be unaware that they are mutants. There are notably powerful Omega class mutants such as Magneto and Storm. There are also less powerful mutants who have powers that provide an advantage in hand- to-hand combat such as Beast, Wolverine, and the anti-hero Deadpool10. MYSTIC While we don’t know its source or origin, certain individuals have powers that can only be called magic. These can range from wizards and sorcerers, such as Dr. Strange to gods from other realms such as Thor and Loki11. 9 Ibid. 10 Daniel Gindis and Almas Haidery, United Nations Commission On Sokovia (London: London International Model United Nations, 2017), 13 11 Ibid. 9 UN Commission on Superhuman Activity London International Model United Nations 2020 History of the Topic: A Timeline of Events 1981 The idea of superhuman, specifically mutant, regulation was first introduced12. 1984 The “Mutant Registration Act” was proposed and became U.S. law. Humans born with mutant powers were required to register with the government upon discovery of their capabilities. The Commission on Superhuman Activities (UN CSA) was established to enforce this new legislation13. 1990 The “Superhuman Registration Act” was proposed in the United States of America. As an extension of the Mutant Registration Act, it required not just the registration of those born with the mutant X-gene, but to all enhanced humans. The leader of the Fantastic Four, Reed Richards, strongly opposed the pending legislation, and testified against it before a congressional committee. His main arguments were as follows: that superheroes would be hampered instead of helped by government oversight, thereby compromising their ability to fight crime. Additionally, supervillains were already pursued and punished, rendering additional legislation and registration obsolete. Lastly, the proposed definitions of “superhuman” or “enhanced human,” were so subjective as to apply to congressmen; the very people introducing this new Act. The committee advised against, and eventually scrapped, the new proposed legislation on those grounds14. 12 Alan Kistler, "Marvel's Civil War In Comics, Explained", Polygon, 2016 <https://www.polygon.com/comics/2016/5/5/11597690/marvel-civil-war-comics> 13 Ibid.

  • Superhuman Enhancements Via Implants: Beyond the Human Mind
    philosophies Article Superhuman Enhancements via Implants: Beyond the Human Mind Kevin Warwick Office of the Vice Chancellor, Coventry University, Priory Street, Coventry CV1 5FB, UK; [email protected] Received: 16 June 2020; Accepted: 7 August 2020; Published: 10 August 2020 Abstract: In this article, a practical look is taken at some of the possible enhancements for humans through the use of implants, particularly into the brain or nervous system. Some cognitive enhancements may not turn out to be practically useful, whereas others may turn out to be mere steps on the way to the construction of superhumans. The emphasis here is the focus on enhancements that take such recipients beyond the human norm rather than any implantations employed merely for therapy. This is divided into what we know has already been tried and tested and what remains at this time as more speculative. Five examples from the author’s own experimentation are described. Each case is looked at in detail, from the inside, to give a unique personal experience. The premise is that humans are essentially their brains and that bodies serve as interfaces between brains and the environment. The possibility of building an Interplanetary Creature, having an intelligence and possibly a consciousness of its own, is also considered. Keywords: human–machine interaction; implants; upgrading humans; superhumans; brain–computer interface 1. Introduction The future life of superhumans with fantastic abilities has been extensively investigated in philosophy, literature and film. Despite this, the concept of human enhancement can often be merely directed towards the individual, particularly someone who is deemed to have a disability, the idea being that the enhancement brings that individual back to some sort of human norm.

  • The Disappearing Human: Gnostic Dreams in a Transhumanist World
    religions Article The Disappearing Human: Gnostic Dreams in a Transhumanist World Jeffrey C. Pugh Department of Religious Studies, Elon University, Elon, NC 27244-2020, USA; [email protected] Academic Editor: Noreen Herzfeld Received: 25 January 2017; Accepted: 18 April 2017; Published: 3 May 2017 Abstract: Transhumanism is dedicated to freeing humankind from the limitations of biological life, creating new bodies that will carry us into the future. In seeking freedom from the constraints of nature, it resembles ancient Gnosticism, but complicates the question of what the human being is. In contrast to the perspective that we are our brains, I argue that human consciousness and subjectivity originate from complex interactions between the body and the surrounding environment. These qualities emerge from a distinct set of structural couplings embodied within multiple organ systems and the multiplicity of connections within the brain. These connections take on different forms, including structural, chemical, and electrical manifestations within the totality of the human body. This embodiment suggests that human consciousness, and the intricate levels of experience that accompany it, cannot be replicated in non-organic forms such as computers or synaptic implants without a significant loss to human identity. The Gnostic desire to escape our embodiment found in transhumanism carries the danger of dissolving the human being. Keywords: Singularity; transhumanism; Merleau-Ponty; Kurzweil; Gnosticism; AI; emergence; technology 1. Introduction In 1993, the mathematician and science fiction writer Vernor Vinge gave a talk at the Vision 21 symposium sponsored by NASA introducing the idea of the Singularity, an evolutionary moment when we would create the capacity for superhuman intelligence that would transcend the human and take us into the posthuman world (Vinge 1993).

  • Transhumanism Between Human Enhancement and Technological Innovation*
    Transhumanism Between Human Enhancement and Technological Innovation* Ion Iuga Abstract: Transhumanism introduces from its very beginning a paradigm shift about concepts like human nature, progress and human future. An overview of its ideology reveals a strong belief in the idea of human enhancement through technologically means. The theory of technological singularity, which is more or less a radicalisation of the transhumanist discourse, foresees a radical evolutionary change through artificial intelligence. The boundaries between intelligent machines and human beings will be blurred. The consequence is the upcoming of a post-biological and posthuman future when intelligent technology becomes autonomous and constantly self-improving. Considering these predictions, I will investigate here the way in which the idea of human enhancement modifies our understanding of technological innovation. I will argue that such change goes in at least two directions. On the one hand, innovation is seen as something that will inevitably lead towards intelligent machines and human enhancement. On the other hand, there is a direction such as “Singularity University,” where innovation is called to pragmatically solving human challenges. Yet there is a unifying spirit which holds together the two directions and I think it is the same transhumanist idea. Keywords: transhumanism, technological innovation, human enhancement, singularity Each of your smartphones is more powerful than the fastest supercomputer in the world of 20 years ago. (Kathryn Myronuk) If you understand the potential of these exponential technologies to transform everything from energy to education, you have different perspective on how we can solve the grand challenges of humanity. (Ray Kurzweil) We seek to connect a humanitarian community of forward-thinking people in a global movement toward an abundant future (Singularity University, Impact report 2014).
