The Historic Security Council (HSC) was the newest edition to the NTU MUN's list of councils. Like the Security Council (SC), the HSC discussed issues pertaining to maintaining International Peace and Security. However, the HSC discusses past issues that once was a threat to International Peace and Security. Last year's topic was the Cuban Missile Crisis which ended well, and was resolved early. This, if some of you are educated on the background of the Security Council, is surprising, because the Security Council is notorious not for coming up with wrong resolutions, but none at all.
This year, the issue at hand was the Third Balkan War. The scene was set in the year 1995, two years into the war. To re-iterate: two years of discussion had passed. yet, not only was there no inkling of a potential resolution, the deelgates were still fiercely debating under two schools of thought: the first being "Those who want peace!", led by Serbia. The second was "Those who want the arms embargo lifted off their countries", led by Germany.

These two clowns made life for the Press Corps very difficult.On the left you have the Delegate of Serbia, and on the right, the Delegate of Russia.
The HSC was actually on the path of reaching Peace, with all pertaining conflicts of the Arms Embargo etc solved. Suddenly, probably out of boredom of sorts, the delegate of Russia announced that they had been secretly supplying Serbia and the Republic of Srpska with military aid, and would continue to do so, for the sake of a Greater Serbia.
And everything went back to square one. On the second day.
Guy on the left most is the very incensed Delegate of Bosnia, demanding an explanation from the Delegate of Russia, just after the bombshell was released.
One of the many heated Unmoderated Caucuses that were held, that really, went no where. Shouts of "NO, YOU SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO ME!" were heard.
An illustration of the ONLY time they were really united. When voting for another fifteen minute Unmoderated Caucus.And that was the Historic Security Council. Eventually they did come up with a resolution, with about 8 clauses. It took them approximately one hour to approve the first 2. I didn't stay to watch, as I had an article to write, and no time to waste of dawdling.
