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.

Hugo Chung | Director

A junior at West Point Grey Academy, Hugo is thrilled to serve as the Director for UNSC at CAHSMUN. He still vividly remembers walking into the wrong conference room at his first MUN and being embarrassed, but that hurdle proved small compared to the journey of diplomacy he would have through MUN. Since attending his first conference in grade 9, Hugo has built confidence, forged meaningful connections, and discovered the joy of guiding discussion and debate. He is especially excited to meet equally passionate people and have lots of fun. Outside of the committee room, Hugo enjoys playing the violin and piano, programming the next big thing, and diving into math challenges. He looks forward to a memorable weekend of diplomacy, discussion, and the creation of lasting connections at CAHSMUN.

Karissa Lin | Chair

As a sophomore at Crofton House School, Karissa is thrilled to serve as a chair for UNSC at this iteration of CAHSMUN. Since entering her first Model UN conference two years ago as an ambitious beginner, she has grown to enjoy the competitive discourse of mock-diplomacy and cherish the supportive community that occupies every committee room. Whether a delegate is a curious first-timer or a seasoned gavel-hunter, she hopes every delegate will go home with valuable friendships, a newfound or renewed love for MUN, and a silly story about sprinting down a dozen flight of stairs with a suitcase in hand. Outside of the committee room, Karissa can be found crashing out over debate tournaments, "locking in" at Breka Bakery, and carefully curating her Pinterest boards. She looks forward to a weekend of productive diplomacy at CAHSMUN 2026!

Rocco Forte | Chair

Now, he is ready to bring the joy of MUN to the next generation of diplomats and world leaders. Rocco hopes to create an environment in which positive dialogue and interesting debate can happen. Beyond MUN, Rocco works as a sailing coach, plays piano, trombone and banjo, and serves as the president of the band student executive. He also collects Lego and lapel pins. Since the beginning, Rocco's dream has always been to be prime minister of Canada, and he hopes that one day, he can make a meaningful positive difference in the world.
