The UNSC is the branch of the United Nations responsible for the maintenance of international security through the investigation of disputes and facilitating peaceful resolutions. They are responsible for protecting the rights of all civilians. Through the advanced nature and smaller committee size of the UNSC, delegates must be prepared to engage heavily in pressing world affairs including current conflicts and security challenges. 

UNSC is a Regional Body and is recommended for delegates of any skill level looking for fast-paced, intensive debate. Both committee topics use Regular Rules of Procedure. Though not mandatory, position papers are highly recommended for all delegates, and are required to be considered for awards. Questions, inquiries, and position papers for this committee can be emailed to unsc@cahsmun.org.

Norah Liu | Director

As a Grade 11 student at JN Burnett Secondary School, Norah is honoured to serve as the Director for UNSC at CAHSMUN 2027. Though her MUN journey began with awkward speeches and a fear of public speaking, she has since cherished every moment of debate, connecting with new people, and breathing in the crisp, nighttime Vancouver breeze outside of the Sheraton Hotel. She hopes that this iteration of CAHSMUN will inspire new delegates to step out of their comfort zone and find their voice. Outside of the conference halls, Norah can be found studying at Hanlin Tea House, lurking around Letterboxd, and watching 'underground' Taiwanese movies online. She sincerely looks forward to an enchanting weekend of laughing at her own jokes and meeting new delegates, and wishes them all the best of luck.

Victoria Deng | Chair

In her final year at Crofton House School, Victoria is elated to serve as the Chair of UNSC at CAHSMUN 2027. Having stumbled upon her first MUN conference back in Grade 8, where she spoke a mere three times, she quickly discovered a passion for the fast-paced and thought-provoking discussions of MUN. From chaotic morning crises to late-night resolution paper grinds to being nominated as “Best Singer” at conferences, Victoria loves every second of it and cherishes the memories she has created. Outside of MUN, Victoria can be found savouring a variety of cuisines, catching up on the latest variety shows featuring Yuqi from i-dle, and especially playing badminton with her friends! At CAHSMUN 2027, she looks forward to meeting the delegates of UNSC and to an unforgettable weekend of fruitful debates!

Karissa Lin | Chair

As a miserable junior at Crofton House School, Karissa is absolutely tickled to serve as one of the Chair for UNSC at this iteration of CAHSMUN. Since delegating at her first Model UN conference three years ago, she has accumulated much knowledge of Somali history, an expansive list of restaurants near the Sheraton, and wonderful friends to cherish for many years! Despite getting lost in hotels and probably having no-clipped into the Backrooms at some point, she has survived every conference with an enlightening experience—which she hopes to continue for other delegates as well. Outside of the committee room, Karissa can be found curating playlists for every minor inconvenience, planning her next hair colour, and vowing to finally book a pottery class. She looks forward to a memorable weekend at CAHSMUN 2027 and wishes all delegates the best of luck with the South Tower elevator!
