The Russo-Ukraine War has rippled all around the world, with effects on global supply-chains touching every industry, including corn, petroleum, fertilizer, cooking oil, natural gas, and assorted grain, among many others. Although nations around the world have and will suffer due to this conflict, some of the most heavily affected countries are those in Europe, whether that be because of the refugee crisis or the effects of the economic sanctions. This body will analyse the threats and opportunities of this conflict, keeping in mind humanitarian repercussions, and assess the effects of the Russo-Ukraine War on European powers.
Dear Delegates,
It is my honour and privilege to welcome you to the United Nations Security Council, one of the six principal organs of the United Nations. You have been specially selected for this committee because of your MUN, public speaking and/or debate experience.
The UNSC is widely known to be a difficult committee. Its notoriety is partly because of all the complicated procedures, which are completely different from normal committees, and partly because of the issues discussed in this body. Fifteen countries agreeing to solutions for urgent global issues is no easy feat, and this committee requires the apex of all skills required in an MUN—diplomacy, critical thinking, and adaptability. Although it isn’t simple, this committee is extremely rewarding if you do your research well and keep on your toes.
I hope, as always, to see well-researched and prepared delegates, but I also hope to see delegates who work together to reach a common goal, problem-solve effectively, and alter their plans based on new information. Global politics are not straightforward, but leaders know how to work with many-layered and dynamic issues.
I look forward to seeing all of you at the MUN, and wish you all the best!
Best Regards,
Abiya Syed
Head of Substantive
