United Nations Security Council (UNSC)

Agenda: The Role of Militarization and Foreign Intervention in Curbing Weaponized Terrorism.

The United Nation Security Council is one of the six principal organs of the UN. While the SC’s primary goal is the maintenance of international peace and security, it’s responsibilities include accepting new members into the UN and making changes to its charter. It is the only organ of the UN which has legally binding power. Countries in the SC can impose sanctions, deploy peacekeeping forces or authorise the use of military force through directives or in the resolution itself.

Ishaan Hari (Moderator)
Ishaan is currently in MYP 5, bringing with him rich experience in being associated with JMUN over the last 3 years. With Oakridge since Grade 6, Ishaan’s interests are varied, spanning from music, to movies, to science and current affairs. He is passionate about financial marketplaces, and the human behaviors that surround it. In his own words, ‘behind every war, behind every weapons stockpiling effort, behind every terrorist organization, grows a particular human behavior that is driven by money and power’ - and that’s why he is excited to be your Moderator at this year’s JMUN Security Council!
