Security Council

Topic A: Drafting strategy in dealing with Islamic militancy in Afghanistan
​Topic B:​ Dealing with Myanmmarian sectarian disputes
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.

Chair: Gabriel Paiva
Greetings! My name is Gabriel Paiva, a senior from jolly good old School of the Nations, and I have the honor of being the Chair of the UN Security Council on what will be the fourth edition of the BSBMUN conference. As a participant of BSBMUN ever since its first iteration and a long-time enthusiast of Model UN, I can relate that I am extremely delighted to have this opportunity and cannot wait to put all my skills and knowledge to the test. The Security Council is known as perhaps the most relevant and important United Nations organ, solving crisis and wars with arguable efficiency ever since the UN's founding; it is also the hub to the most experienced hardcore delegates, so I hope we can reach a high level of debate and skill. When I’m not MUNing (yes, that is a word) you can easily spot me at the cinemas watching the newest Marvel movie or doing some creative writing. If you have any questions in regards to the committee or just to chat my email is gabrielpaiva119@gmail.com Best regards!

Vice-Chair: João Guilherme Borges
Howdy-do delegates? My name is João Guilherme Borges (AKA Snake Bitten) and I will be your vice-chair for the Security Council during this edition of BSBMUN. I am a senior at School of the Nations and have a part of MUN ever since my freshman year. This conference will be my 15th conference, give or take, my second time chairing and my first, and probably last, time chairing outside of my school. I am really excited and grateful to have this opportunity contribute to BSBMUN, having participated in every edition of it thus far and seeing it grow from its inception. When I am not involved in MUN or school endeavours (bonus points for the fancy word) I see myself spending most of my time playing video-games or going out with my friends, but mostly video-games. If you are nervous about the committe procedures or if you just want to chat, feel free to contact me at snakebitten.reptilechannel@gmail.com (you can mock my email if you want, I’ve heard it all). Hope to see you for what seems to be the best BSBMUN yet!
