Crisis Committees

———-————————————————————————

Security Council

Head Director: Albert Trombetta
Assistant Director: Itay Volk
Crisis Staff: TBA

Topic: International Maritime Trade in Light of Recent Conflics and Threats

Email: scvmun.sc@esuhsd.org

(Single delegation)

Message from the Secretary General:

During the midst of recent geopolitical conflicts, the United Nations Security Council’s efforts to address peace and security crises have remained static due to its current structure. Although the United Nations Security Council grants the veto power to the five permanent members, we encourage you to think about its implications in the real world. At SCVMUN, we hope to empower the next generation of leaders and changemakers to challenge paradigms and work collaboratively towards a more peaceful and secure world. We look forward to seeing you all at SCVMUN and hope to see nuanced and productive discussions in committee.
