Committee: Historical United Nations Security Council (HUNSC)
Agenda: The Korean War (1950)

​

In 1950, the Korean Peninsula became the epicenter of Cold War tensions as North Korea, backed by the Soviet Union and China, launched a full-scale invasion of South Korea. The conflict quickly escalated into an international crisis, prompting the United Nations Security Council to take decisive action. With global powers divided between ideological lines, the war raised critical questions about collective security, military intervention, and the role of the UN in conflict resolution.

​

In this session, delegates will navigate the complex political landscape of 1950, responding to urgent developments, diplomatic standoffs, and military engagements. The committee will debate potential resolutions, negotiate alliances, and determine the course of UN involvement. Will diplomacy prevail, or will the war spiral into an even greater global confrontation? The fate of the Korean Peninsula—and the balance of power in the Cold War—rests in your hands.
