“Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.”

• Ronald Reagan                                                    

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is charged with ensuring international peace and security, recommending the admission of new UN members to the General Assembly, and approving any changes to the UN Charter. Its powers as outlined in the United Nations Charter include establishing peacekeeping operations, enacting international sanctions, and authorizing military action. 

"The United Nations is designed to make possible lasting freedom and independence for all its members." 

• Harry S Truman, former USA president

The General Assembly will debate two key global issues — the recognition of Palestine as a full member state of the United Nations and the international condemnation of Russia’s continued actions on the world stage. Delegates will engage in discussions on sovereignty, international law, and global stability, working toward resolutions that reflect the principles of peace, diplomacy, and cooperation.
