Historical Security Council (HSC)

The Historical Security Council is a fictional committee that aims to simulate the Security Council at a specific point in the past. The HSC follows largely the framework as the Security Council, but adjusted to fit the Security Council from the time of the topic. As such, rules of procedures as well as the member states can vary from the present-day Security Council. Just like the Security Council, the HSC will have 5 permanent member states with a veto right. The veto states will always remain the same, except for topics set before 1971. In these Committees the Republic of China replaces the People‘s Republic of China. Furthermore, there will be a number of non-permanent member states that will be adjusted to fit the topic. The HSC allows for delegates to explore a historical topic in-depth and get a look into the history and development of the United Nations Security Council.

This year, the Historical Security Council will discuss the topic of the 1967 Six Day War. To make the Debate as exciting and as historically accurate as possible, the Rules of Procedure as well as the member states will be adjusted to fit the Committee better.
