1947 SECURITY COUNCIL

The 1947 Security Council is this year’s edition of CACMUN’s Historical Security Council, a committee that changes theme annually to reflect pivotal moments in global history. For CACMUN 47, delegates will be transported to 1947, the year the Doomsday Clock was first introduced, and a time defined by escalating Cold War tensions, nuclear uncertainty, and the restructuring of global power. As one of the UN’s most critical bodies, the Security Council in this era faced urgent questions of peace and security in a world still reeling from World War II.
