SECURITY COUNCIL
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is one of the six principal organs
of the United Nations (UN) and is tasked with ensuring international peace
and security, recommending the admission of new UN members to the
General Assembly, and approving changes to the UN Charter. Its powers, as
outlined in the United Nations Charter, include establishing peacekeeping
operations, enacting international sanctions, and authorizing military action.
The UNSC is the only UN body with the authority to issue resolutions that are
binding on member states

The Security Council was established following the conclusion of World War II
to address the failures of the League of Nations in maintaining global peace.
It held its first session on 17 January 1946 in London. In the years leading up to
1948, the Council began to shape its role in the evolving international order.
Its early actions included addressing disputes and conflicts such as those in
the Middle East and the Balkans and overseeing ceasefires and truce
agreements.

The UNSC consists of 11 members, five of which are permanent members:

Republic of China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the
United States—the major Allied powers from World War II. These permanent
members hold veto power, enabling them to block substantive resolutions.
The remaining 6 non-permanent members are elected for two-year terms by
the General Assembly, representing various regions of the world.

In its initial years, the UNSC faced challenges, particularly due to geopolitical
tensions emerging from the Cold War between the United States and the
Soviet Union, which often led to gridlocks in decision-making. Despite these
tensions, the UNSC laid the groundwork for peacekeeping and conflict
resolution, although it had yet to fully develop the comprehensive
mechanisms seen in later decades.
 SMC MUN’25

Preliminary Question
The Preliminary Question was introduced in the United Nations Security
Council (UNSC) in its formative years as a procedural mechanism to
determine whether a particular issue before the Council was procedural or
substantive. This distinction was critical because procedural matters required
the affirmative votes of any Seven members (out of 11), while substantive
matters necessitated the affirmative votes of nine members, including the
agreement of all five permanent members (the "P5")—who held the power of
veto.
The Preliminary Question emerged in the late 1940s as the UNSC grappled
with the realities of post-World War II geopolitics and the onset of the Cold
War.

The concept was effectively a response to disputes over the application of the
veto, which was granted to the P5 to safeguard their national interests. This
power created concerns among other member states about the potential for
permanent members to misuse their vetoes to block even procedural
discussions.
The procedure allowed the Council to take a preliminary vote to decide
whether a matter should be classified as procedural or substantive. If the
Council deemed the issue procedural, it could bypass the requirement for
unanimous P5 agreement and proceed with a simple majority vote.

By the mid-20th century, the Council had largely abandoned the Preliminary
Question in favor of more direct procedural debates and resolutions. The
cessation of its use reflected a shift in the Council's operations as Cold War
dynamics increasingly dictated its decisions. The mechanism was not
formally abolished but became obsolete due to its impracticality in
managing the growing polarization among UNSC members.

The Berlin Blockade

The Berlin Blockade (June 24, 1948 – May 12, 1949) stands as one of the earliest
and most critical crises of the Cold War, symbolizing the growing ideological rift
between the United States and its Western allies on one side and the Soviet
Union on the other. It marked a turning point in post-World War II geopolitics,
reflecting the complexities of occupation and the broader struggle for
dominance in Europe.

Background: Post-War Division of Germany and Berlin

After World War II, Germany was divided into four occupation zones controlled by
the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and France. Berlin,
despite being deep within the Soviet zone, was also divided into four sectors. This
arrangement, intended to represent Allied unity, soon became a source of
contention due to the stark ideological differences among the occupying
powers.
The Western Allies sought to rebuild Germany into a stable and democratic
state, with economic recovery as a cornerstone of their efforts. The Soviet Union,
on the other hand, aimed to extract reparations and maintain control over
Germany to ensure it would not pose a future threat. The resulting divergence in
goals led to the breakdown of the Allied Control Council, which had been
established to oversee joint administration in Germany. By 1948, this schism had
deepened into a full-blown confrontation over the future of Berlin and Germany.

Immediate Causes of the Blockade

The tensions that culminated in the Berlin Blockade were the result of several key
developments. The formation of the Bizone on January 1, 1947, was one of the first
major steps that alarmed the Soviets. The merger of the American and British
zones, later joined by the French zone in 1948, laid the groundwork for a unified
Western Germany. This move aimed to promote economic recovery through
joint administration but was perceived by the Soviet Union as a threat to its
influence in Germany and a step toward establishing a separate Western state.
 SMC MUN’25

Another pivotal moment came with the introduction of the Deutsche Mark in the
Western zones and West Berlin in June 1948. This currency reform, intended to stabilize
the economy and curb hyperinflation, was implemented without Soviet consultation or
approval. The Soviets viewed this as a unilateral and provocative act that undermined
their authority in Berlin and further divided the city along ideological lines.

The broader Cold War context also played a significant role. The United States’ Truman
Doctrine, announced in March 1947, signaled a shift toward active containment of Soviet
expansionism. This policy, along with the Marshall Plan’s economic aid to Western
Europe, intensified Soviet fears of Western encroachment and deepened the ideological
divide.

The Blockade Begins

On June 24, 1948, the Soviet Union imposed a blockade on West Berlin, severing all rail,
road, and canal access to the city. The aim was to force the Western Allies to abandon
West Berlin, effectively handing over control of the entire city to the Soviets. The
blockade also cut off vital supplies, including food, coal, and electricity, to the 2.5 million
residents of West Berlin.

The Soviet justification for the blockade centered on their opposition to the Western
Allies’ economic policies and the creation of a separate West German state. However,
the blockade was widely seen as an aggressive attempt to consolidate Soviet control
over Berlin and exert pressure on the Western powers.

The Berlin Airlift

The Western Allies, determined not to yield to Soviet pressure, launched a massive airlift
operation to supply West Berlin with essential goods. Beginning on June 26, 1948, the
airlift, known as “Operation Vittles” in the United States and “Operation Plainfare” in the
United Kingdom, became an unprecedented logistical undertaking.
Over the next 11 months, Western aircraft delivered approximately 2.3 million tons of
supplies to West Berlin, including food, fuel, and medical aid. At its peak, planes were
landing in Berlin every 30 seconds.
 SMC MUN’25

Despite harsh winter conditions and logistical challenges, the airlift succeeded in
sustaining the city’s population and symbolized Western resolve to stand against Soviet
aggression.
The airlift was a remarkable demonstration of international cooperation, with the United
States, the United Kingdom, and other allied nations pooling resources and expertise. It
also highlighted the resilience of the Berliners, who endured the blockade with
determination and solidarity.

Soviet Reaction

The Soviet Union responded to the airlift with propaganda campaigns aimed at
discrediting the Western Allies and portraying the blockade as a legitimate defensive
measure. They also engaged in tactics such as flying close to Allied aircraft to
intimidate pilots, although they stopped short of direct military confrontation. Despite
these efforts, the Soviets were unable to disrupt the airlift or achieve their objectives. The
blockade backfired, strengthening Western unity and further isolating the Soviet Union
diplomatically.

End of the Blockade

On May 12, 1949, the Soviet Union lifted the blockade, recognizing that it had failed to
achieve its goals. The success of the airlift had not only neutralized the blockade’s
impact but also demonstrated the Western Allies’ commitment to defending Berlin. The
end of the blockade marked a turning point in the Cold War, solidifying the division of
Germany into two separate states: the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany)
and the German Democratic Republic (East Germany).

Legacy

The Berlin Blockade and Airlift had profound implications for the Cold War. It
underscored the growing divide between East and West, cemented Berlin’s status as a
symbol of resistance to Soviet pressure, and led to the formation of NATO in April 1949
as a collective defense alliance against potential Soviet aggression. The crisis also
demonstrated the potential for international cooperation to overcome adversity,
leaving a lasting legacy in the annals of Cold War history.
 SMC MUN’25

TIMELINE
30 April, 1945 – Adolf Hitler commits suicide by gunshot in his Führerbunker in
Berlin as Soviet forces close in on the city, signaling the imminent end of Nazi
Germany.

2 May, 1945 – General Weidling, commander of the LVI Panzer Corps, agrees to
the unconditional surrender of Berlin to Soviet General Vasily Sokolovsky,
marking the collapse of German resistance in the city.

7 May, 1945 – Nazi Germany formally surrenders unconditionally at General

Dwight D. Eisenhower's headquarters in Reims, France. This event effectively ends
World War II in Europe.

5 June, 1945 – The Allied powers (the United States, the Soviet Union, the United
Kingdom, and France) assume complete authority over Germany. The Allied
Control Council (ACC) announces the division of Germany into four occupation
zones, each administered by one of the Allies.

29 June, 1945 – Lieutenant General Lucius Clay, the U.S. deputy military governor
in Germany, meets with Soviet and British counterparts to agree on Western
access routes to Berlin. They agree on one highway and one railroad route for
Western use to reach the city, which is located deep within the Soviet occupation
zone.

3 July, 1945 – British and American troops enter their respective sectors of Berlin
to begin their occupation duties, with the city divided into four sectors ontrolled
by the U.S., Soviet, British, and French forces.

7 July, 1945 – The ACC establishes a governing body for Berlin, known as the
Kommandatura, which will oversee administration and coordination in the
divided city. Soviet Marshal Georgi Zhukov declares that the Soviets will not
supply food for the Western sectors, raising tensions between the Allies.
 SMC MUN’25

17 July – 2 August, 1945 – The Potsdam Conference takes place, with U.S.
President Harry Truman, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet
Premier Joseph Stalin. The leaders discuss post-war arrangements, particularly
the future of Germany, and adopt the Potsdam Protocol, outlining the
demilitarization, denazification, and division of Germany.

30 November, 1945 – The ACC approves three air corridors for access to Berlin,
allowing the Allies to transport supplies and personnel by air across Soviet-
occupied Eastern Germany into the city

5 March, 1946 – Winston Churchill delivers his famous “Iron Curtain” speech at
Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, condemning Soviet policies in Eastern
Europe and calling for a united Western defense against the spread of
communism. The speech marks the beginning of the Cold War rhetoric.

6 September, 1946 – U.S. Secretary of State James Byrnes declares that U.S.
military forces will remain in Germany indefinitely to ensure stability and prevent
any resurgence of Nazi influence, solidifying the American commitment to post-
war reconstruction.

20 October, 1946 – Local elections in Berlin show strong anti-communist

sentiment, particularly in the Soviet-occupied sector, as residents vote
overwhelmingly for Western-oriented political parties, signaling the growing
divide between East and West Berlin.

12 March, 1947 – President Harry Truman announces the Truman Doctrine in a

speech before Congress, committing the United States to support nations
resisting communism, particularly in Europe. This policy becomes a cornerstone
of U.S. foreign policy during the early Cold War.

5 June, 1947 – Secretary of State George Marshall unveils the Marshall Plan, a
comprehensive program designed to aid in the economic reconstruction of war-
torn Europe, including Germany. The U.S. pledges billions of dollars in aid to help
rebuild European economies and counter the spread of communism.
 SMC MUN’25

25 November – 17 December, 1947 – A foreign ministers' conference in London

fails to reach any meaningful agreement on the future governance of
Germany. The growing rift between the Soviet Union and the Western Allies
becomes evident as negotiations break down over issues such as reparations
and economic policy.

20 March, 1948 – At an ACC meeting, the Soviet representative demands

access to secret Western meetings in London regarding the future of
Germany. This demand increases tensions between the Allies and the Soviets,
setting the stage for the Berlin Blockade.

31 March, 1948 – The Soviets demand inspection of all Western military trains
entering Berlin. General Lucius Clay, the U.S. deputy military governor, refuses
the request, leading to the halting of all train shipments and the initiation of a
10-day mini-airlift to supply Western forces in Berlin.

2 April, 1948 – General Lucius Clay appoints General Curtis LeMay to oversee
an extensive airlift operation to supply U.S. forces in Berlin, anticipating a more
prolonged crisis with the Soviets.

10 April, 1948 – Soviet forces drop their inspection demands but continue to
harass Western road and rail traffic sporadically, escalating tensions further
as Berlin's access remains threatened.

18 June, 1948 – The Western Allies introduce the Deutsche Mark in their zones
of occupation, including West Berlin. This currency reform is intended to
stabilize the economies of the Western zones but leads to sharp protests from
the Soviet Union, which views it as a direct challenge to their influence in the
city.

22 June, 1948 – The Soviet Union issues a blockade warning in response to the
introduction of the Deutsche Mark in West Berlin, accusing the Western Allies of
undermining the existing currency system.
 SMC MUN’25

24 June, 1948 – The Berlin Blockade officially begins as the Soviets

cut off all rail, road, and canal access to West Berlin, attempting to
force the Western Allies out of the city.
