Historical Security Council

The Historical Security Council challenges delegates to come up with thoughtful and original solutions to historical conflicts by reenacting historically relevant crises and events. Delegates relive, influence, and potentially alter the outcome of key historical events through the Security Council of the past. The power of the Security Council, arguably the most influential and powerful UN organ, rests in the palm of your hand. Armed with the information of the past, sharp rhetoric, and nothing but wit and will, delegates may change history to pursue their own interests. In SHASMUN we use a unique HSC format, wherein delegates feel the weight of their own decisions and their influence on the course of history. After their first resolution, Chairs will determine the potential real-world outcomes of the resolutions. Delegates must reform and react drafting a second resolution to offer a solution to their short-comings.
