Peace and security — terrorist acts committed in the United States
On September 11, 2001, the world witnessed the deadliest terrorist attacks in history when hijacked planes struck the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., killing nearly 3,000 people and shaking the foundations of international security. The following day, the United Nations Security Council convened in an emergency session to address the unprecedented assault, grappling with questions of collective security, the definition of terrorism, and the appropriate global response. Delegates in this historical simulation will step into that pivotal September 12 meeting, tasked with balancing immediate condemnation, support for the United States, and the broader implications for international law, state sovereignty, and the global campaign against terrorism.
