The UNSC deals with issues related to the maintenance of international peace and security. In MUN, delegates debate and draft resolutions on topics like armed conflicts, terrorism, nuclear proliferation, sanctions, and peacekeeping missions. The council authorizes interventions, imposes sanctions, deploys peacekeepers, and makes binding decisions that member states are obligated to follow.
👉 In MUN, this means debates, drafting resolutions, passing amendments, and voting—all focused on protecting and assisting refugees, displaced persons, and stateless populations worldwide.
Founded in 1945, the UNSC has become one of the most powerful UN bodies, with 15 member states—5 permanent and 10 elected—responsible for maintaining international peace and security worldwide.
