Description

The Security Council: Shanghai is a Eurasian political and security bloc founded in 2001, uniting major regional powers such as China, Russia, India, Pakistan, and Iran alongside Central Asian states. While the UN Security Council’s authority rests with its Permanent Five members (China, France, Russia, the UK, and the US), the SCS offers a rival model of collective security, where China and Russia bring their P5 influence into a more regionally focused council. In a Model UN setting, an SCS would mirror the urgency and authority of the UNSC, but debates would center on terrorism, cyberwarfare, separatist movements, border disputes, and energy security in Eurasia. Its dynamic is particularly dramatic because it combines two P5 members (China and Russia) with rising powers like India and Pakistan, often locked in rivalry, creating a multipolar balance of power where alliances shift rapidly and resolutions reflect both cooperation and competition.
