Security Council of the United Nations
Created in 1945, it is one of the most powerful and most important committees of the United Nations. The main role of the Security Council is the maintenance of international security and peace, having the ability to act and decide on different aspects of peace and security - for example, it can decide whether peace operations are deployed or not . One of the most special characteristics of this committee is the small number of members; 5 permanent that have veto power and 10 non-permanent that change every two years. If you want to discuss relevant security issues, don't hesitate and sign up.
The topìc discussed will be: "Addressing the security and terrorism situation in the Horn of Africa"
