HISTORIC SECURITY COUNCIL
Under the Charter, the Security Council has primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. It has 15 Members, and each Member has one vote. Under the Charter, all Member States are obligated to comply with Council decisions.
The Security Council takes the lead in determining the existence of a threat to the peace or act of aggression. It calls upon the parties to a dispute to settle it by peaceful means and recommends methods of adjustment or terms of settlement. In some cases, the Security Council can resort to imposing sanctions or even authorize the use of force to maintain or restore international peace and security.
Sidharth Das
Sidharth Das is a recent graduate of the Photography School of Sri Aurobindo Centre for Arts and Communication. He started MUNing in 2007 and has taken part in 91 Model UN Conferences in the spate of 7 years. Driven by a desire to excel, he kept experimenting with committees including the Security Council, Human Rights Council and the General Assembly. Keenly interested in International Law and Peace and Security, he started to focus on Security Councils in 2010 when he got his first Executive Board Position. In 2010, Sidharth conceptualized and chaired the first Continual Crisis Committee in India, with the agenda of the Korean War of 1950s. Since then, he has chaired more than 35 conferences around India and trained in over 20 institutions, but still loves to participate as a delegate, if he gets the opportunity. Model UN has helped him much beyond the scope of a co-curricular activity ,as it has greatly indulged his love for travelling and photography, as well as constantly challenged his ideals of MUNing and the changing nature of this activity.
