UNSC

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) was established under the UN Charter as one of the principal organs of the United Nations. This committee is not only the world’s chief body when confronted with complex global issues, but also retains primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security. Through its authority to deliberate on threats to international peace, the Council plays a central role in conflict prevention, crisis management, and the authorization of collective action. At JBCN Oshiwara MUN 2026, the UNSC will address the regional and global security implications due to non-state actors in the Indian subcontinent, with a special emphasis on the cross border instability along the Durand Line.

The Durand line is largely recognised as a porous border due to the potential cross-border extremism and its nature as a boundary separating the Pashtun ethnic group. While Pakistan recognizes it as the official border, Afghanistan disputes its legitimacy. The refugee crisis in Pakistan only serves to promote the instability and constant militant movement across the border, further affecting South Asian and Central Asian security architecture. In this committee, delegates will be tasked with negotiating effective regional security solutions and defuse the current geopolitical issues.
