The Security Council
Generalities
The Security Council is the commission of the United Nations which has the primary responsibility,
according to the UN charter, for the maintenance of international peace and security. The Council is
structured to be able to function continuously, and a representative of each of its members must be
present at all times at United Nations Headquarters, to handle any situation that appears as an
emergency.
Under the Charter, 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 Governments, the
Council alone has the power to take decisions which Member States are obligated under the Charter to
carry out1.
When a dispute leads to fighting, the Council's first concern is to bring it to an end as soon as possible. On
many occasions, the Council has issued cease-fire directives which have been instrumental in preventing
wider hostilities. It also sends United Nations peace-keeping forces to help reduce tensions in troubled
areas, keep opposing forces apart and create conditions of calm in which peaceful settlements may be
sought. The Council may decide on enforcement measures, economic sanctions (such as trade embargoes)
or collective military action.2
A Member State against which preventive or enforcement action has been taken by the Security Council
may be suspended from the exercise of the rights and privileges of membership by the General Assembly
on the recommendation of the Security Council. A Member State which has persistently violated the
principles of the Charter may be expelled from the United Nations by the Assembly on the Council's
recommendation.3
A State which is a Member of the United Nations but not of the Security Council may participate, without a
vote, in its discussions when the Council considers that that country's interests are affected. Both
Members of the United Nations and non-members, if they are parties to a dispute being considered by the
Council, are invited to take part, without a vote, in the Council's discussions; the Council sets the

conditions for participation by a non-member State. The Presidency of the Council rotates monthly,
according to the English alphabetical listing of its member States.
Functions and Powers
The key of being a good delegate before the Security Council is to have vast knowledge about the
competencies of it. By knowing about the functions and powers of the Council you will be able to do a
good job, because you will know about things you can and cannot do. Another important point is to
encompass a deep documentation and information about the topics you are debating, for the reason that
it will allow you to emit strong and substantial opinions related to the topics and the resolutions that you
will redact.
Under the Charter, the functions and powers of the Security Council are:



Structure
The structure of the Security Council is based in many committees that together operate in order to guarantee
the correct and optimum work of it. Those committees are organized and established by the Council as
subsidiary committees.
Standing Committees
There are three committees at present, and each includes representatives of all Security Council member
States.



Security Council Committee of Experts
Security Council Committee on Admission of New Members
Security Council Committee on Council meetings away from Headquarters
Ad Hoc Committees
The word Ad Hoc comes from the Latin voice ad= for hoc= this, which means that they are committees which
are established for an specific topic or function. They are established as needed, comprise all Council members
and meet in closed session.5
Sanctions Committees
Are the committee in charge of the designation, specifying, and inspection of the application of sanctions
when the Council considerate as necessary to stop or prevent conflicts.
Peacekeeping Operations
Since 1948 there have been 63 United Nations peace-keeping operations, which are related to keep directly
the peace and the security of civilians.
Working Groups
Those are structured in order to manage the operative part of many decisions of the Council.

Membership
The Security Council is composed for 15 members states; 5 of them have category of Permanent 5 potencies.
Those are United States of America, China, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, France and
Russian Federation.
Those Permanent 5 (P5) always have a place on the Security Council, and an special vote concerning to topics
matter. The Permanent 5 resemble the 5 potential countries that wan the Second World War.
The 10 Non-Permanent Nations are elected by the General Assembly in periods of 2 years. Those are oriented
to maintain a geographic balance related to impartial decisions. Regarding to the Membership of the Council
at the year 2010, its members are:
Austria
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Japan
Lebanon
Brazil
Gabon
Mexico
Nigeria 6
Turkey
Uganda
Voting
The voting is one of the most significant aspects of the Security Council, because it determines the correct
functioning and a transparent process about taking decisions; besides when we talk about the Council it has
particularities that must be mentioned.
The voting must be analyzed respecting to two points: procedural and substantive matters. In both cases are
necessary 9 votes for, the difference is that substantive matter, concerning to topics, decisions, resolutions,
operations, needs the affirmative vote of the Permanent 5 plus 4 Non-Permanents, This is the rule of "great
Power unanimity", often referred to as the "veto" power. While substance matters needs nine votes,
including the concurring votes of all five permanent members, procedural only needs 9 votes without bearing
in mind the affirmative vote of the permanent 5.

Santo Domingo, República Dominicana
Another crucial subject is the abstention, which means the faculty of a member state of not to vote when it
does not want to interfere with the resolutions. Is important to know that abstention is valid only to
substance matters, like resolutions and decisions, however is not, concerning to procedural material. If a
Permanent Member decided to use the abstention it will not affect the approval of the resolution. The
abstention must be used when a member state disagree with the resolution but does not want to vote
against.
MONUESCYT 2010: Security Council
In the context of a United Nations Model is very difficult not to observe as one of the central commissions the
Security Council; MONUESCYT 2010 is not the exception; that is why one of the crucial committees regarding
to this model is the Security Council. In this commission the participants will have the opportunity of acting as
the plenipotentiary ambassadors of your nations, taking transcendental decisions in order to contribute to the
international peace and security.
In effect this commission, which will be simulated in two official languages, will have as discussion topics:
 Non-proliferation/Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
 Threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts.
 The question concerning to Haiti.

Non-proliferation/Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
The development of mass destruction weapons constitutes a serious menace to the peace and security, which
are the most elevated purposes of the Security Council and the whole United Nations System. The terrible
idea of the simple realization of any kind of experimentation related to those weapons is a matter that comes
concerning to the International Community, that much, that it brought as a consequence the creation of the
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which clearly disagree with any possibilities about the signatories to develop
mass destruction weapons.
That treaty specifically allows just the Permanent 5 to be able to develop and use nuclear weapons. On the
other hand we have nations that did not sign the Treaty, so that being allowed to develop mass destruction
weapons, like Pakistan, Israel, India, and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, which withdrew in 2003.
This treaty came into force since 1970*, and it has 189 signatories nations. It makes reference to three
essential aspects: disarmament, non-proliferation, and the right to peaceful use of nuclear technology.
North Korea was a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty but withdrew in 2003, fact that resemble the
failure of the United States to fulfill its end of the Agreed Framework, which was a 1994 agreement between
the states to limit North Korea's nuclear activities, begin normalization of relations, and help North Korea
supply some energy needs through nuclear reactors7.
The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty: Background and Relevant Aspects
This treaty more than a simple agreement is the effort of international community to arrange bases to
prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology, to promote cooperation in the peaceful
uses of nuclear energy and to further the goal of achieving nuclear disarmament and general and complete
disarmament. Those are the basic purposes of the treaty, which are related to the maintenance of peace and
security.
In order to accomplish its objectives the treaty has established a safeguards system under the responsibility of
the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Safeguards are needed to verify the fulfillment of the Treaty
through inspections conducted by the IAEA.

Another important mechanism the Treaty has in order to guarantee the correct functioning of it is its selfrevision. Expressed particularly in the article VIII, paragraph 3, the Treaty specify a review of the operation of
itself every five years, a provision which was reaffirmed by the States parties at the 1995 NPT Review and
Extension Conference.
The Case of North Korea
To pronounce “North Korea” in front of the Security Council is to mention a country that has an important
heaviness in security and peace material; that, because since many years ago the Democratic People s
Republic of Korea has been declared as a nuclear energy possessor, which means that North Korea has the
intention of developing nuclear weapons.
At the beginning of 90s decade started the suppositions of a North Korean s Nuclear Program, because the
North Korea requirement of plutonium and enriched uranium get elevated. Then, in 2003 Korea withdrew
from the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty which was a clear signal of its intentions. Later, On October 9, 2006,
the North Korean government issued an announcement that it had successfully conducted a nuclear test for
the first time. At the same time the United States Geological Survey and Japanese seismological authorities
detected an earthquake in North Korea, confirming some aspects of the North Korean claims8.
In April 2009, reports showed that North Korea has become a "fully fledged nuclear power", an opinion shared
by IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei. On May 25, 2009, North Korea mannered another nuclear test,
which is believed to have been the cause of another seismic event.
The Security Council is extremely concerned to the matter of Korea. Since several years, the Council has tried
to stop by pacific means the danger it constituted for the international community. Any exercise involved in
nuclear stuffs is considered by the council as a menace to peace and security, that is why the UN Security
Council is that concerned about the situation of North Korea, regarding to its Nuclear Experimentations.
The Security Council has tried to stop those nuclear activities bearing in mind its powers and function,
inclusive using sanctions in order to get the cessation of Korea s Nuclear tests.
As delegates of the Security Council is your responsibility to explore what sanctions have the Council imposed
to North Korea, and in this case which is the correct action against this problematic. Your function is not just
restricted to take decisions, but analyses the correct one, and to look for specific mechanism to ensure its
fulfillment and functioning. And in order to do a good job is needed to considerate important and recent

resolution as Res-1928-2010 and older resolutions as Res-825-1993, where the Council evidently state that
the development of nuclear weapons continue being a threat to international peace and security.

Threats to International Peace and Security Caused by Terrorist Acts
The Security Council has clearly established that terrorism constitutes one of the most serious threats to
international peace and security, and that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of
their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed. The Security Council has reiterated its
determination to combat all forms of terrorism, in accordance with its responsibilities under the Charter of
the United Nations.
This is a transcendental topic when we talk about the UN charter purposes and principles, which really
encourage the state to maintain and continue each minimum effort in order to keep the peace and a good
ambient regarding to international relations and union.
Since its beginning, terrorism, has come to disturb the international security, representing a serious threat,
and when the world seems to be quiet and peaceful, terrorism appears to cover innocent lives and destroy
the international stability.
The UN charter undoubtedly condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestation, and in the same way
express disapproval of any aggression acts that affect the sovereignty of a nation. Constitute terrorism any act
related to accomplish any goal having as principal mean of consecution the applying of terror and force. The
Universal Human Rights Declaration consecrate as one of the principle human rights, the right of being heard,
but there are not circumstances that justify the use of violence, terror or force to be listened.
A basic aspect you must know is that one of the most harmful consequences of terrorism is that it origins
armed conflicts. That is a priority of the Security Council, because armed conflicts always end with bigger
catastrophes, and the Council, under the charter, must to be able to face armed conflict, trying to stop it,
promoting disarmament and getting the stability.
Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflicts.
An essential fact you must domain is the Protection of Civilians Under Armed Conflicts, which is a topic vastly
discussed by the Council. The concept of protection of civilians is founded in the universally accepted rules of
international humanitarian, human rights and refugee law which are set out in a range of international legal
instruments9.

Resolution 1894 of 11 November 2009 reaffirms the Council’s commitment to the protection of civilians while
focusing in particular on humanitarian access, protection mandates in peacekeeping missions and the need
for monitoring and reporting.
This topic emphasizes your function as ambassadors of the Council, giving you the opportunity of facing
directly one of the most injurious menaces to peace and security: terrorism. Your function concerning to this
topic is immeasurable and required. You must promote the international cooperation and technical assistance
in order to eliminate the terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. As ambassadors of the Security Council
you are allowed to require to any state or government to stop financing terrorist activities. And is
fundamental to remind that the Council is able to investigate and catalogue as terrorism any acts it
considerate that constituted any form of use of force, terror or persecution. Another important duty of the
Council is to inspect and supervise that mandates are being fulfill by the corresponding organism, and in a
correct way.

The Question concerning to Haiti
The Security Council is extremely concern to the Haiti situation, because of its strongly difficult circumstances,
which is remarkable, that since many years ago Haiti economical, political and security situations have been
turned into a social disaster, and especially in this year that an earthquake has destroyed such important
places and patrimonies. The physical damages occasioned by the earthquake are not as important concerning
to the Security Council but social situation, peace and security are.
Since many years ago the UN Security Council has taken effusive measures with the proposal of making of
Haiti a safer an stabilized Nation, however those efforts seems have been done in vain; the insecurity and
disorder are characteristics that seem permanent in this nation. That is the cause because of Haiti is still on
the agenda.
In this occasion we have a new component, which makes Haiti situation worse and hide more and more the
solution to the intricate complex of problems: the earthquake. Your debate can not spin around the
eathrquake, for the reason that as a nature disaster it is not related to the competencies of the Security
Council, however you must analyze and considerate how that earthquake can have influence into peace and
security. And is your job to take decisions concerning to avoid this catastrophe increase.
It is more important than ever that the international efforts for reconstruction are well coordinated, led by
the Haitian government and the UN. Despite terrible losses, the UN has done a remarkable job under difficult
circumstances following the earthquake. The UN mission in Haiti, MINUSTAH has a vital role on this sense, and
is your responsibility the supervision and control of MINUSTAH.
Another fundamental principle that should be in your proposes is the idea of making stronger the institutional
and constitutional material concerning to the state, in order to restore the integrity of sovereignty and to
make feasible the progress and development of Haitian Nation.

The Emergency Session
Must be reminded that the Security Council as result of its important functions of the maintenance of
international peace and security should be able to session whenever, wherever, and however, always it has
the presence of the permanent 5 and at least 4 non permanent countries. It is important to know that, in
order to understand that the Council is compulsory to meet always that an especial situation requires it.
During the model, if any especial situation that constituted a threat to the international peace and security,
take place, the Security Council must adjourn the topic that is under discussion, and adapt that emergency as
the discussion topic- that if the Council is under session- otherwise if the Council is not under session, do not
matter the time, the place, the circumstances; if you have an eventual situation that requires the Council
attention, it is enforced to meet redacting a resolution as soon as possible.
Consult Opinion
According to the UN charter, and the Article 96 of the International Justice Court statutes, the Security
Council, also the General Assembly, are the authorized organism allowed to ask for Consult Opinions to the
Court, always that the Council considerate as necessary the opinion of the Court in matter of legal
interpretations, territorial substantial and international litigation.
