This is what I was required to do during the UNSC simulation.
As a member state, it is your responsibility to address and resolve problems for the entire global community. That is, as the ambassador for a particular country, you will need to balance the interests of your country with those of other states and the global community at large. You will need to be prepared to represent your country’s policies with respect to the following key issues:
a. Armed Conflict in Central Africa
b. Climate Change and its impact on Security
In both cases, the emphasis is on the link between human rights standards, norms and practices and the issues. Each delegate should be focusing his/her efforts on thoroughly discussing the related issues as they currently exist and working toward solutions to address on-going problems of the violation, protection and promotion of human rights.
