Security Council
Committee Overview
DPSIMUN 2026 introduces the Security Council, the most powerful and high-stakes committee of the UN! With global peace and security on the line, delegates will face crises, negotiate under pressure, and make decisions that could change the course of history.
The UNSC bears primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security. Comprising 5 permanent veto-bearing members and 10 elected non-permanent members, its resolutions carry binding legal authority.
