SECURITY COUNCIL
1- Yemeni conflict
The Yemeni conflict is an ongoing conflict initiating in 2015, which has led to a huge humanitarian crisis in the country. In September 2014, the Houthis took control of
Sanaa, Yemen’s capital, and proceeded to push southward targeting another major Yemeni city, Aden. In response, a coalition of Arab states forces launched a military
campaign aiming to defeat the Houthi’s for the sake of restoring the government of Yemen.
The Yemeni conflict has said to achieve a famine, which is pretty rare in our modern world. To give you further insight, only two famines had occurred in the past thirty years. A famine is declared when the three thresholds of food insecurity, acute malnutrition and mortality are all breached together. The three criteria are that at least one household in five faces an extreme lack of food, that more than 30 per cent
of children under the age of five are suffering from acute malnutrition or wasting, and that at least two out of every 10,000 people are dying each and every day.
2- The role of Iran’s state – sponsored terrorism in the rise of global terrorism.
Terrorism in certain countries is getting even worse, higher number of deaths and everlasting fear in citizens, but what do countries such as Iran contribute to this increase? Since 1979 Iran has been accused of financing and aiding non-state militant actors. In this topic delegates will debate the weight of Iran’s actions of state sponsored terrorism on one of the most horrific current world issues; and evaluate
the rightness of Iran’s actions, and possible consequences to avoid further increase in global terrorism.
3- Israeli Settlements
Security council 2334 (2016) demanded that Israel “immediately and completely
cease all settlement activities”. 14 had sponsored the resolution and only one
abstained, the United States. The Palestinian authority had a clear stance
demanding an end to the Israeli settlements indicating the amount of trouble it had caused them. These settlements have been determined to lack any legal validity.
These settlements have been of great humanitarian impact, and are still existing till our current day with no acts clearly reflecting that the settlements are going to be ceased anytime soon. Settlers have been actually attacking civilians in the past couple of months, approximately two years after the SC resolution was issued.
Subsequent to all the chaos, should the
state of Israel face sanctions for its threat to the security of the Palestinian authority?
What is a possible feasible solution for this crisis?
