“The structure of world peace cannot be the work of one man, or one party, or one nation... It cannot be a peace of large nations – or of small nations. It must be a peace which rests on the cooperative effort of the whole world”
- Franklin Roosevelt
Dear Delegates and MUN Directors,
Diversity, Democracy, and Diplomacy are interwoven pillars that fortify global society. In the Security Council, delegates will grapple with pressing global issues through the lenses of these three pillars.
Embracing diversity, delegates will navigate the complex interplay of cultures, perspectives, and interests that shape international relations today. The SC emphasises the inclusive representation of nations across the globe, recognizing that diverse voices are essential in crafting effective and sustainable solutions to global challenges.
The agendas selected at the Security Council revolve around this very spirit of Diversity, Democracy and Diplomacy, encouraging delegates to collaborate, communicate and challenge themselves to the fullest.
Our first agenda is "Addressing the rise of armed non-state groups in Venezuela" which poses a critical challenge for global stability. These groups, often involved in illicit activities such as drug trafficking and violence, threaten regional security and exacerbate socio-economic instability within Venezuela. Efforts must focus on fostering dialogue among Venezuelan stakeholders, strengthening regional security frameworks, and promoting socio-economic development to effectively counter the influence and activities of these armed groups. By tackling this issue comprehensively, the international community can contribute to fostering a more secure and stable environment in Venezuela and the broader Latin American region.
The second agenda is “Addressing the crisis in Sudan and its regional security implications.” A region that has been synonymous with instability and violence since the post-colonial era, Sudan now faces another civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces that have controlled the country under Omar al-Bashir’s reign as well as in the following years. This conflict has resulted in unparalleled devastation and devastation wreaking havoc on major regions like Khartoum and Darfur. By addressing the crisis in Sudan we have the opportunity to prevent the collapse of the economy, ease political tensions and mitigate the widespread international and internal displacement of civilians.
The third agenda is "Addressing the Afghan-Pak border dispute". The dispute primarily stems from the Durand Line, a boundary demarcated by the British, which Afghanistan has never officially recognized. This region has also become a hotbed for terrorist activity, with groups like the Taliban and Haqqani network exploiting the border to launch attacks, resulting in a situation where both nations have accused each other of harbouring militants and facilitating cross-border terrorism. These ongoing disputes have strained the relations between these nations. By addressing the Durand Line dispute, we can potentially reduce tensions and foster better diplomatic relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan, allowing for the growth of stability and security in the region.
During the 3 days of committee, delegates will engage in spirited debates and negotiations, embodying the principles of democratic decision-making to achieve consensus and forge resolutions that uphold international peace and security. Through diplomacy, delegates will hone their negotiation skills, fostering constructive dialogue and cooperation among nations with varying political ideologies and strategic interests. The council provides a platform for diplomatic discourse, encouraging states to find common ground and build alliances to tackle shared threats and promote collective prosperity.
With the aim of resolving these pressing issues, fostering collaboration, and facilitating meaningful discussions, I, along with my Deputy Presidents, Aanya Shah and Nysa Kandhari, welcome you to the Security Council at the 21st edition of DAIMUN and wish you the very best for the conference!
Warm Regards,
Shiv Kini,
President of the Security Council,
