Security Council

Committee: INDIVIDUAL (Universitario)

English.

 Topic: As it has been usual this year’s edition is going to be under an open agenda that will be set by the delegates, but in accomplishment with the agenda that is programmed to be launched on Monday, Aprils 2nd meeting.

On October 24, 1945, the victors of World War II — China, the U.S.S.R., France, the United Kingdom, and the United States — ratified the UN Charter, creating the Security Council and establishing themselves as its five permanent members with the unique ability to veto resolutions. Originally there were six temporary members, rotating every two years and distributed on an equitable geographic basis. That rule was more explicitly defined in 1965, when the number of temporary members was increased to ten (five from Africa and Asia, one from Eastern Europe, two from Latin America and the Caribbean, and two from Western Europe)

The Security Council is the United Nations’ most powerful body, with “primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security.” Since 1990, the Council has dramatically increased its activity and it now meets in nearly continuous session. It dispatches military operations, imposes sanctions, mandates arms inspections, deploys election monitors and more.

The council also has responsibility of:

• To develop friendly relations among nations;
• To cooperate in solving international problems and in promoting respect for human rights
• To be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations.

All members of the United Nations agree to accept and carry out the decisions of the Security Council. While other organs of the United Nations make recommendations to member states, only the Security Council has the power to make decisions that member states are then obligated to implement under the Charter.
