National Security Council

Chairperson(s): None available

TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY SECURITY COUNCIL CONSTITUENTS:

 

As the Chair and Director of the National Security Council, we welcome you! We must warn you, this is not a committee for the weak-hearted and you may experience brief moments of anxiety as it is an adrenaline filled experience.

 

The National Security Council is a committee consisting of a summit of world leaders, along with their constituents, gathered together in a round table arena to discuss a certain ongoing crisis. The goal of the Council is to come up with a solution to the crisis no matter how long it takes until a ration solution is approved of. The Council usually contains countries that are involved in the conflict in close proximity to the conflict, as well as major powers in the region and around the globe that have the capability to control the crisis. The resolution is usually created in the form of a treaty.

 

We look forward to your involvement in NSC and the lively debate that will ensure.

 

Sincerely,

 

Samrat Bhattacharya, Chair

Stephanie Livieres, Director
