However, in 2024 Ukraine gained power and funding from all its allies worldwide Ukraine has
demonstrated resilience and determination in defending its sovereignty, especially in the face of
Russia's annexation of Crimea and the ongoing conflict in Eastern Ukraine. Ukraine has sought
to bolster its defenses through military reforms, international alliances, and support from
Western nations. They've shown a willingness to resist Russian aggression through diplomatic
channels while also strengthening their military capabilities. However, directly challenging
Russia, a significant regional power with a strong military, poses immense challenges. Ukraine's
efforts have been focused on leveraging international support, pursuing legal and diplomatic
avenues, and reinforcing their military defenses.
Towards the end of 2024 United States of America firing with the largest militia took advantage
of the situation secretly firing the borders of Siberia due to the everlasting critical relationship
with Russia.

Arms Race:
The Russia-Ukraine crisis on 2023-24 triggered an arms race that upended the existing geopolitical balance.
Russia was the world's second largest conventional arms exporter after the United States.
However, after USA’ attack on Siberia. Russia emerged as the world’s first largest producer of
conventional arms welcoming the Soviet Union consisting of all Russia’s allies conveniently
withdrawing from NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization).
Leading to an invasion of United States of America on the Democratic republic of Congo
situated in Central African Republic. For its rich reserves of Cobalt to produce nuclear weapons.
India once again accidentally bombs China and releases press statements as it was so called
“accidentally fired”. Being fearful of the given situation Narendra Modi once again elected as
the prime minister of India was presented as “missing” but is hiding and alive. The Soviet
Union captures Ukraine with massive conflict.
On November of 2026 a START agreement pact was signed between United states and
Germany to produce nuclear weapons against The Soviet Union breaking the Treaty on the
Prohibition of nuclear weapons (TPNW) that includes a comprehensive set of prohibitions on
participating in any nuclear weapon activities. These include undertakings not to develop, test,
produce, acquire, possess, stockpile, use or threaten to use nuclear weapons. as these two
countries believed that it was the only way Urging Germany to rise “The Weimar Republic”
once again with better democratic policies however the intentions are not revealed by it joining
the War
North Korea’s only Leader Kim Jong Un however chooses to be silent throughout the war
rooting for the growth of its nuclear weapons of which now Kim states that “all nuclear weapons
have been sold to India “, India still stands as the country with the best economy, however India
United Nations Security Council BG. GIISMUN
does not deny the false allegation. United States invests all its revenue to produce massive
nuclear weapons.
Economic Effects:
United Kingdom still suffering economically, the country raises taxes to up to 35% for a standard
living brings out “OPERATION SALT” sending back all Sri Lanka’s diaspora back to its
homeland as “refugees” capturing Sri Lanka on its coasts by the Royal Navy of Great Britain.
Holding salt and tea production as its main income, Canada too displaces its refugees along
with UK to increase its economic levels.
Venezuela on establishing Breathing taxes People with lung conditions who require extra oxygen
when they fly are being charged a "tax on breathing", according to charities. As well as insisting
that people pay for oxygen canisters adapted in 2009, brings out new policies on using oxygen
over 300 liters of oxygen must pay a hefty amount along with the taxes killing hundreds of
citizens being unable to pay the tax. Civilians who failed to pay taxes were locked in an airtight
chamber with limited food and water and a bag to collect fecal matter Venezuela states as this is
the one way to gain power economically to support its country from the war in case of accidental
missiles. United states of America seemed to go into a huge debt and into an economic crisis

Massively killing thousands of innocent civilians. Joins war with United Kingdom to support
British navy forces in capturing the coasts, The use of nuclear weapons in select regions
intensified the devastation, leading to catastrophic loss of life and irreversible environmental
damage. United Kingdom captures Sri Lankan coasts, Direct arms firing, North Korea in turn
captured south Korea and is now under its control. Amidst the chaos, efforts for peace and
diplomatic resolutions persisted, though they often faltered in the face of deep-rooted animosities
and escalating hostilities. World War 3 erupted during escalating tensions among global powers,
marking a catastrophic shift in geopolitics and global stability. The catalyst lay in a complex web
of territorial disputes, ideological clashes, and economic competition among key players
worldwide. Countries such as United States, Weimar republic, Soviet Union, United Kingdom
were the major causes of the war. The Soviet Union presented an out statement to Kuwait and
therefore threatened it to cut all bilateral ties with United States thus stopping the supply of oil in
which Iraq’s press release statements supported the statement of the Soviet Union.

and UNHCR of the UN set up camps to help the displaced refugees with their basic needs.
Totally over a 7 million lives of refugees were displaced from Russia, Congo, united states, Sri
Lanka, Ukraine.
Currently in 2036, around 3 million refugees have returned to their homeland though in a

turmoil following massive spending on arms and ammunition, leading to a substantial

United Nations Security Council BG. GIISMUN
human rights violations. The country's involvement in World War 3 led to devastating
consequences, including the violation of nuclear weapon ban treaties and human rights.
The surrender during the "THE ROUND TABLE REEF CONFERENCE" signified a loss
of power and influence on the global stage.
India:
India faced accusations of secret ties with North Korea over nuclear weapons, although
the country did not explicitly deny these allegations. Accidental bombings on China
heightened tensions in the region, leading to concerns about regional stability. The Prime
Minister, Narendra Modi, remained elusive during critical events, raising questions about
India's leadership role in regional conflicts.
The UK experienced economic challenges, prompting tax hikes and the implementation
of "OPERATION SALT" aimed at repatriating Sri Lanka's diaspora. The Royal Navy
captured Sri Lankan coasts, significantly impacting the country's economy. The UK's
involvement in warfare and displacement of refugees contributed to international
concerns about human rights violations.
China:
China found itself in a precarious position amidst escalating tensions in the region.
Accidentally bombed by India, China faced increased regional instability. The country
remained relatively silent throughout World War 3, abstaining from direct involvement
despite the proliferation of nuclear weapons and geopolitical turmoil in its vicinity.
Yemen:
Yemen faced a catastrophic oil tanker explosion that caused significant environmental
damage, affecting not only Yemen but also neighboring regions like Saudi Arabia and
Turkey. This event led to an environmental crisis and threatened fossil fuel resources.
The explosion intensified the already dire situation in Yemen, contributing to the ongoing
humanitarian crisis in the region.
North Korea:
Under the leadership of Kim Jong Un, North Korea maintained a stance of silence,
focusing on the growth and development of its nuclear arsenal. Reports emerged claiming
that North Korea allegedly sold all its nuclear weapons to India, indicating potential
covert actions and shifting alliances during the period of global conflict.
United Nations Security Council BG. GIISMUN
South Korea:
South Korea fell under the control of North Korea during World War 3. The nation
became a puppet state, experiencing a loss of sovereignty and autonomy due to North
Korea's control. This shift in power dynamics altered the geopolitical landscape of the
Korean Peninsula, leading to increased regional tensions.
Kuwait:
Kuwait faced external threats and pressure from the Soviet Union, prompting threats to
sever bilateral ties with the United States. The nation found itself in a vulnerable position
due to geopolitical maneuvering by larger powers, particularly concerning the supply of
oil and its strategic significance in the region.
Saudi Arabia:
Saudi Arabia, alongside Yemen, suffered from the environmental fallout of the oil tanker
explosion in Yemen. This incident led to an environmental crisis, impacting the country's
resources and further exacerbating regional instability. The nation faced challenges
stemming from the aftermath of this event in addition to the broader conflicts in the
Middle East.
Ukraine:
Ukraine became a focal point of conflict during the annexation by the Soviet Union. The
nation witnessed massive conflict and thousands of casualties during this period. Reports
of extensive human rights violations and war crimes surfaced, painting a grim picture of
the situation in Ukraine amid the geopolitical turmoil.
The Central African Republic found itself at the center of attention due to the invasion by
the United States, seeking access to its rich cobalt reserves for nuclear weapon
production. The nation became a target due to its strategic resources, facing the
repercussions of global powers vying for control and influence in the region.
France:
During the rise of The Weimar republic and the World War 3, Paris the capital of France
was captured and still under the control and ruling of The Weimar Republic likely
navigated the complex geopolitical landscape cautiously. As a major global power,
United Nations Security Council BG. GIISMUN
France potentially played a diplomatic role in attempts to mitigate the impact of the
escalating conflicts
Venezuela:
Sri Lanka:
Sri Lanka faced turmoil as the United Kingdom, through "OPERATION SALT,"
repatriated the country's diaspora, leading to the designation of Sri Lankan citizens as
refugees. The Royal Navy's capture of Sri Lankan coasts impacted the nation's economy,
resulting in further debt and economic instability. The country struggled amid
geopolitical maneuvers and became a focal point of external control and conflict.
Iraq:
Iraq supported the Soviet Union's threat to Kuwait, aligning its press statements with the
Soviet Union's position. The nation's involvement in the geopolitical landscape of the
Middle East during the war contributed to regional tensions and strained bilateral
relations. Iraq's statements further escalated geopolitical tensions in the region,
particularly concerning oil supply and strategic alliances.
Pakistan:
Pakistan faced increasing international debt and sought aid from Russia and China for
infrastructural development. The country received financial assistance but continued to
grapple with economic challenges exacerbated by the inflation caused by global conflicts.
Pakistan's position in the conflict was primarily focused on managing its economic strain
and seeking support for development initiatives.
Canada:
Canada displaced refugees alongside the United Kingdom, aiming to increase its
economic levels amidst the global conflict. This displacement, while intended to bolster
the country's economic situation, raised ethical concerns and contributed to the ongoing
refugee crisis. Canada's involvement in displacement further complicated its stance in
global humanitarian efforts.

NOTE: THE VETO POWER STILL STANDS VALID AMIDST THE COMMITTEE
TIMELINE ALONG WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF PERMANENT MEMBERS
The Veto power can significantly impact decision-making within the Security Council
and global peace and security. Here are some key aspects to consider:
Proper Usage:
National Interest: Veto powers are often used to protect a country's national interests.
Nations may exercise their veto when a resolution directly opposes their strategic or
political goals.
Conflict Resolution: Veto power can be used to ensure fair or equitable solutions to
conflicts or crises. It may prevent resolutions that are perceived as biased or favoring one
side of a conflict.
Maintaining Stability: Nations can use their veto to prevent hasty or ill-conceived
actions that may exacerbate tensions or instability in regions of strategic importance.
Compromise and Diplomacy: While veto power can block resolutions, nations often use
it as leverage to negotiate compromises that better align with their interests.
Position Papers
All delegates will be required to submit position papers on the issues discussed in this guide, and
they must show the stance of their country on the issue. The position paper will help the chair to
understand your views, help you prepare for the committee, and deal with crises. Your stance on
the issue may not necessarily be the same once the committee session starts. However, you are
encouraged not to completely contradict your statements expressed during the sessions that are
vocalized on your position paper. The position paper will also include your country’s policies on
the topic. Delegates will not be judged based on how kind, or how considerate they are while
speaking. They will be judged on how solutions are proposed, and how much they suit your
country’s policies. You should always look to protect the interests of your own country, and not
of other countries. Solutions should not be too controversial, and at the same time, too lenient, as
each country has its own view on the topic. Specific principles and policies of your country are
to be followed, while you are discussing the issue. Position papers should not be plagiarized.
Plagiarism of your position paper will lead to a point deduction. Information should be accurate.
Research should be done before preparing your position paper. Your position paper shows how
well prepared you are, so please take time and do some effective research.
