Founded after the Second World War in 1945, UNSC is one of the six principal committees of the United Nations. It is responsible for maintaining international peace and security and approving and changes to the UN Charter while also recommending the admission of new UN members to the General Assembly. The United Nations Security Council is charged with determining an act of aggression or any threats to peace. To maintain peace UNSC deploys UN peacekeepers on peacekeeping missions globally to aid in combat situations against insurgents, or militias that pose a threat to the stability of a country of the safety of its people. Adding to the already fast paced and vibrant nature of UNSC, the Permanent Five (P5) members have the ability to veto any decision other than a procedural one. ​

 

UNSC will follow crisis MUN Rules of Procedure and is designed for delegates of all experience levels. Position papers are not mandatory for this committee, but must be completed in order to be considered for an award.
