Security Council

The Security Council is responsible for deliberating topics that are crucial to the maintenance of world peace and has thus been one of the most relevant organs in the United Nations since 1946. As the only committee that has the power to mobilize troops, condemn countries, and impose sanctions, the Security Council is in charge of handling the most pressing issues in the world. Having complex issues and decisions in its scope, the UNSC will welcome delegates who are up to the challenge of engaging in the council’s mission. Delegates in BSBMUN's Security Council will provide the optimum versions of their debate skills, negotiation tactics and a thorough understanding of all topics from their countries' perceptions.
Topic A:  The Issue of the Civil War in South Sudan
​Topic B:​ Questioning the Veracity and Reliability of the Iranian Nuclear Deal

Chair:
​
Hi, everyone! My name is Lara Paiva and I’m a Senior at School of the Nations, here in Brasília. For this year's edition of BSBMUN, I will have the great pleasure of serving as the Security Council chair! BSBMUN was one of the first conferences I ever attended, so I am very excited to meet you all and guide you through the amazing process that is a MUN conference. Besides from MUN and stressing out about school, I also enjoy reading, taking pictures, and hanging out with my friends and family. MUN and international affairs are, however, my main passion. So, feel free to contact me at larapaiva02@gmail.com
if you have any questions, doubts, concerns or if you just want to stop by and say hello! I look very forward to seeing all of you flourishing in the Security Council! ​

Vice-Chair: 

Hi delegates! I am Paulo Miranda and I'm a junior at the Swiss School of Curitiba. I'm very thrilled to be chairing the UNSC this year, since this is my first time in BSBMUN as a chair. If I'm not involved in a MUN conference or stressing myself to death because of the IB, you'll probably find me playing my bass guitar, watching Premier league games on TV, hearing Arctic Monkeys or even if I'm very lucky, sleeping an entire afternoon. Either way, I'm very excited to be your chair and expect to help you improve during this conference!

Vice-Chair:

Hi delegates! My name is Cecília Nakao and I am currently a junior at the American School of Brasília. I will have the honour of vice-chairing the Security Council and I can’t wait to witness vibrant and passionate debates in this edition of the Brasilia Model United Nations. My interest for MUN began in middle school and has since then only grown. It’s a club that has enabled me to meet people from all over the world, improve my public speaking skills (and nerve-wracking situations), find complex solutions while working with others and thoroughly learn about a wide variety of issues. I am very grateful to have become engaged in Model United Nations, especially seeing as it addresses issues that I am deeply passionate about and it is vastly intertwined with the career I intend to follow (international law). My hobbies include reading, playing guitar (and attempting to sing when no one’s around), drawing and painting, watching TV-shows (including GOT and Suits) and trying my best to successfully survive high school. I also love to travel, write, learn about new things and spend time with friends and family. I hope you guys have a great time and make remarkable memories in this year’s BSBMUN. If you have any questions, concerns or just want to talk, feel free to contact me at ceciliasnakao@gmail.com or social media. Can’t way to see you in October!
