United Nations Security Council (UNSC)

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is one of the United Nations (UN) six primary organs, tasked with ensuring international peace and security, recommending new UN members to the General Assembly, and approving any amendments to the UN Charter. The Security Council oversees evaluating whether a threat to peace or an act of aggression exists. It encourages the parties to a dispute to settle it peacefully and suggests techniques of adjustment or terms of a settlement. The council's five permanent members and ten elected members convene regularly to analyse worldwide security risks such as civil wars, natural disasters, arms proliferation, and terrorism.
The simulation of this committee will focus primarily on investigating any dispute or situation that may lead to international friction, and as such, the delegates will be tasked with deliberating on current issues, determining the existence of a threat to the peace or act of aggression, and recommending what action should be taken. The committee's mandate allows it to monitor and facilitate relevant resolutions. Delegates are expected to elaborate on effective techniques for carrying out the United Nations' trusteeship functions in "strategic areas."
