Security Council Elections

Yes, you did but MUN is very different from the real-life UN and actual world issues it faces. The UN debates and acts, MUN only debates, so there's no need to copy everything from a UN perspective as it's not practical on TSR.

I think for the MUN like the MHoC, stimulating debates and active membership is more the priority which is a far different objective of the UN like fighting AIDS, distributing food, peace-keepers, etc.

So, there really is no need for permanent Security Council members, and elected members on TSR to be hell-bent on emulating every aspect of a model that clearly does not fit! That's why I didn't run.

My preference on the composition of the TSR's MUN Security Council is to have a seat allocated to each bloc/continent, and representatives of states in that continent need to contest regional elections to select a unified representative for a given term.

We all know that America is more powerful that Venezuela in real life. But not necessarily on TSR...no army, no money, no budget, no electorate, nothing to lose other than dedicated time on a PC.

So, please let's re-think the structure that works for us and facilitate debate rather than blindly copying an inspiring model that does not work for the TSR version.

...good luck to the candidates though!

We play the role of a representative for our country, so our MUN country has exactly the same resources as our real-life counterparts.

...if that's the case, I take it that you have the ability to impose sanctions, and provide real aid to other nations (not just 'make-believe' statements!).

Well, actually, yes necessarily. We play the role of a representative for our country, so our MUN country has exactly the same resources as our real-life counterparts.

I agree that there's no point having a closed Security Council like we do now in the MUN, because it blocks the rest of us off from (passively, at least) participating in SC debate.

What do all of the candidates feel they bring to the SC that is unique? And I know its already been answered in part, but how exactly would they attempt to reorganise the SC? E.g. would African representative be permanent or replaced by another african nation after a period of time etc

To all candidates: how will you represent all the countries in your area, as there is undoubtedly a wide range of political views in each country, let alone across a group of countries?

For the Swiss Confederation, having Democracies at the forefront of Europe somewhat makes it easier to represent them. Nonetheless, having a neutral voice that allows our populace to act freely within the boundaries of our nation is sure to influence others. We shall represent our fellow nations by concentration of problem solving, hopefully as a market force, the Confederation can use that to influence on how countries can improve. Our influence is widespread, we hope to widen it.

Sorry, missed this!

Australia is one of the most influential states in Oceania. We have strong trading ties with all Oceanic countries, as well as many more in the western Pacific. It is in our own best interests that the needs of this area are met, and so we will strive to ensure that we represent everyone. We already hold weekly meetings with the ambassadors of our most important neighbours, and if we are elected to the Security Council we will host group sessions, with all representatives in one room together, to discuss important issues.

Fell free to keep asking questions as well.

Apologies in advance for being pretty damn pedantic but nations have gone to war due mis-communication! On that note, there's a huge difference between 'feel' and 'fell', even in our make-believe world!

Spelling mistakes occasionally happen, I'm only human

Thanks or the responses

Your right we need to come up with a model that is suitable for here. What do you think of term limits?
