WHO is guided by the principle that health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

This committee focuses on the characters and incidents which are part of J.K. Rowling's famous novel series 'Harry Potter'. Delegates in this committee represent different characters from the series (there can be a Voldemort as well; you really don't wanna mess with the Dark Lord, do you?).
Delegates who are part of this committee, usually, have tremendous information about the Harry Potter series, all of its characters and their allegiances, about Hogwarts, Azkaban, the Ministry etc. This committee provides a wonderful opportunity to HP fans to prove to the world that watching the movie series or reading all the novels has not gone in-vain at all and it can possibly give one a Best Delegate award, that is, if one is diplomatic enough and knows the magic spells.
