The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is one of the six principal organs of the United Nations (UN) and 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 UNSC is the only UN body with authority to issue resolutions that are binding on member states.

     First and foremost, both of the nations and their citizens are aware of the fact that the war has to be stopped. Well, at least that’s what we wish to hear from the governments. Even though there are many attempts to solve the issue, we often hear of airstrikes in Ukraine or at the Russian Federation. So the problem is not literally solved yet. It’s been 3 years since the full-scale invasion began and it affected every piece of living in the region.

     Violations of human rights and atrocity crimes have occurred during the war. From 2014 to 2021, there were more than 3,000 civilian casualties, with most occurring in 2014 and 2015. The right of movement was impeded for the inhabitants of the conflict zone. Arbitrary detention was practiced by both sides in the first years of the conflict. It decreased after 2016 in government-held areas, while in the separatist-held ones it continued. Investigations into the abuses committed by both sides made little progress.

     In 2024, the UN Human Rights Office reported that Russia is committing severe human rights violations in occupied Ukraine, including arbitrary detentions, enforced disappearances, torture, crackdown on protests and freedom of speech, enforced Russification, indoctrination of children, and suppression of Ukrainian language and culture. Ukrainians have been coerced into taking Russian passports and becoming Russian citizens. Those who refuse are denied healthcare and other rights, and can be imprisoned as a “foreign citizen”. Ukrainian men who take Russian citizenship can be drafted to fight against the Ukrainian army.

     In conclusion, we expect our delegates to come together in order to solve this humanitarian crisis. Therefore, we are planning on welcoming 24 delegates who will be the representatives of the countries. We are going to create a perfect environment for our delegates to negotiate the conflict in question. At the end we wish for the countries to meet on a peaceful common ground where all can benefit from.
