UNSC
United Nations Security Council
The United States Security Council is one of the six primary organs established by the United Nations Charter. It is the only organ that has the power to make decisions that member states are obligated to implement. All other organs can only make recommendations to member states. The Council may meet whenever international peace is threatened, for which it is primarily responsible. In such cases, it may propose a number of actions to resolve disputes and dissolve possible hostility. Its first session took place on the 17 th of January, 1946, in London. Any country may bring a dispute which it is a party of, to the UNSC, even if it is not a member of the UN.
The UNSC is responsible for ensuring international peace and security, it also plays a role in accepting new members to the United Nations and approving any amendments to its charter. The council consists of 15 member nations, the victors of the Second World War being permanent members, whilst ten others hold temporary positions. The delegates will represent member states, shouldering the responsibility of facing riptides in the sea of peace.

Dear Delegates,
The agenda before you, though it may seem merely procedural, has
immense and far reaching consequences. The ongoing dysfunction of the
UN, to which the UNSC contributes arguably the most, is a big reason for
destabilisation. When countries have no effective forum to resolve
differences, they are forced to resort to other means. Veto reform could
save millions of lives globally, and usher in a new era of true lasting peace,
while also democratising the world stage.
As members of the UNSC, representing sovereign nations and collectively
billions of people, your job is to find a solution to this problem. There is no
reason why a procedural tradition should take precedence over the basic
rights of so many people.
