Model United Nations. Description of the Council Under the UN Charter, the Security Council has the responsibility of keeping international peace.
It is the most powerful body of the United Nations; while other committees can only make recommendations, the Security Council makes decisions that countries have to follow. The Security Council meets throughout the year to address the most serious security issues facing the UN and the world. The Council is made up of 15 nations: five are permanent members and the remaining 10 seats rotate every 2 years among the nations in the UN. The 5 permanent members are China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. The Security Council may deal with international conflict in many ways.

The Egyptian Revolution of 2011, locally called January 25 Revolution (Arabic: ثورة 25 يناير thawret 25 yanāyir, Revolution of 25 of January) and sometimes referred to as the Lotus Revolution,[21] was a diverse movement of demonstrations, marches, plaza occupations, riots, non-violent civil resistance, acts of civil disobedience and labor strikes which took place following a popular uprising that began on 25 January 2011.
Millions of protesters from a variety of socio-economic and religious backgrounds demanded the overthrow of the regime of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. There were also important Islamic, liberal, anti-capitalist, nationalist, and feminist currents of the revolution. During the uprising the capital city of Cairo was described as "a war zone"[28] and the port city of Suez saw frequent violent clashes. The protesters defied the government-imposed curfew and the police and military did not enforce it.

Position Papers, Resolutions, & Speeches. You see it everywhere at MUN conferences.
You’ve made your own — or, more likely, your advisor told you to make one. And you probably didn’t want to. It’s confusing to create and cumbersome to carry. You might even be embarrassed to bring one to committee — maybe you poke fun at others for bringing theirs. What am I referring to? When I started doing Model UN, research was a chore. But I soon realized this was putting me at a disadvantage. I knew that if I was confident in my research, that confidence would come through in speeches and debates. I needed to put together a research binder. And many conferences and committees later, I’ve come to appreciate the value of a good, well-organized binder. It actually speeds up research. I organized my binders by starting from the “big picture” — conference, committee, and country — then zooming in on the details — topics, policies, and solutions.
Using this framework, there are 15 things every delegate should include in their binders: Conference. Charter of the United Nations: Chapter I: Purposes and Principles.
