The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is one of the six principal organs of the United Nations and is responsible for ​​establishing peacekeeping operations, enacting international sanctions, and authorizing military action. Because it was established in 1946 after the world war, it is composed of five permanent members (China, France, Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United States) with a veto right and  ten non-permanent members elected for two-year terms by the General Assembly. 


Malicious cyber activities have been affecting individuals, private entities, government institutions and non-governmental organizations for years thus questioning common definitions of war and peace. We have witnessed large-scale cyber-incidents all over the world, with numerous sophisticated targeted attacks, hacktivism and countless instances of identity theft and malware. In this debate, delegates will be expected to find ways to help improve the security of Cyberspace, promoting human security, equity and dignity.
