We know that everyone is both curious about using new words in a resolution and afraid because these new words might be inadequate to UN conventions. That’s why we are presenting this official list:

The UN Security Council Counter-Terrorism Committee aims at solving technical issues related to terrorism which may prevent new attacks, deny new terrorist groups and hinder new bloodshed situations. Such a preventive bias is adequately supplemented by the UN Security Council central role as the multilateral guardian of international peace and security — the classic, heated-plenary way of solving international crises.
Therefore, UNSC/CTC delegates are called to perform a twofold job. They should primarily work on a Report on terrorism in Southern and Southeastern Asia — one which is sound and bold enough to prevent new atrocities and casualties. Meanwhile, extraordinary situations may demand them a cold-blooded stance within international standards of protecting peace and security. In other words, UNSC Resolutions may prove to be the proper answer to such challenges.
It is evident that the perfomance of these roles involves organization of the Council and the Committee’s activities and debates. Special Rules of Procedure were designed bearing this in mind. They can be found at:

Although the UNSC Resolutions logic and scope are well-known, special crisis resolutions have specific traits which are worth knowing. Besides that, the not so well-known features of a CTC report should prove a fundamental tool to avoid new crises. Models to guide the writing of both documents as well as plenty of interesting and useful information related to the UNSC/CTC are available at the UNSC/CTC Supporting Papers:

Doubts will be solved through comments to this post, orkut messages at SiNUS 2010′s community and mails to ctc@sinus.org.br.
We are sure you are up to the challenge!

Para uma melhor compreensão do que é a SiNUS e como funcionam os Modelos das Nações Unidas de uma forma geral. Acrescentamos também um breve histórico dos MUNs no Brasil, que inclui uma pequena parte sobre a origem da SiNUS, e explanação sobre as estruturas básicas de um modelo.
Desejamos a vocês uma excelente experiência nesses cinco dias de simulação. Que vocês se divirtam, trabalhem e aprendam tanto quanto nós nos divertimos, trabalhamos e aprendemos durante o longo ano de preparação do evento para vocês.
Secretariado – SiNUS 2010
Jakarta – The governments of Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia are stepping up security in the Strait of Malacca, a key shipping lane for world trade, after warnings of possible attacks on oil tankers. The Singapore Navy has received indications a terrorist group is planning attacks on oil tankers in the strait.
The armed forces of Indonesia and Malaysia should strengthen security measures, Singapore urged. Malaysia’s coastguard has already stepped up security in the narrow waterway, which tankers use to carry oil from the Middle East to China and Japan.
“We will increase security and step up patrols in that area. Oil tankers can pass, but we will increase our readiness,” Indonesian Defence Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said.
An attack that closed the Strait of Malacca or Singapore port even temporarily could have a disproportionate impact on global trade.
“Maritime attacks offer terrorists an alternate means of causing mass economic destabilisation,” Rand Corporation terrorism risk analyst Peter Chalk said.
The city-state of Singapore is the world’s top container shipping port and biggest ship refuelling hub.
The effects of an attack remain uncertain. Thailand’s naval attaché in Singapore said the original warning came from Japan. “Later, they changed the term to `terrorist attack’ as there was fear that they could use heavy weapons to attack these ships,” Captain Sutheepong Kaewtab said.

Orientação:
Para solver algumas dúvidas quanto ao preenchimento das opções de países, solicitamos aos chefes de delegação que atentem para o seguinte:
Caso você já tenha feito a inscrição e tenha incorrido em um dos casos acima, poderá refazer sua inscrição, observando a igualdade dos dados do chefe de delegação, sendo considerado válido o horário da primieira inscrição.
Nesta edição, a SiNUS – como ocorrido em edições passadas – exigirá uma redação dos chefes de delegação para auxiliar na distribuição de países, EXCLUSIVAMENTE PARA OS ASPIRANTES A P5. Isso significa que se sua delegação, em sua lista de preferências, incluir República Popular da China, Estados Unidos da América, Reino Unido da Grã-Bretanha e Irlanda do Norte, Federação da Rússia ou República Francesa, você precisará escrever uma pequena redação.
De modo a evitar surpresas e aumentar a transparência do processo seletivo, a SiNUS 2010 divulga os supracitados temas com a devida antecedência.
The UN Security Council created the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC) through its Resolution 1373, in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks performed in September 11, 2001. The United Nations had already addressed terrorism-related questions in various conventions – such as the International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings and the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism – and via the General Assembly Sixth Committee, its Legal Committee. Never before, however, had an organ full-fledged prerogatives to act under the UN Charter’s Chapter VII in order to combat terrorism. Although such kind of menace had already motivated serious concerns among the international community, the creation of the CTC follows a post-9/11 interpretation of terrorism as a major threat to world peace.
Under the sign of the Chapter VII, the Counter-Terrorism Committee is allowed to determine the existence of threats to peace and to take effective and necessary decisions to solve any sort of terror situation. At a glance, the CTC may provide measures which, if approved, may impose the severance of diplomatic relations, the creation of economic blockades, or other non-military actions that would initially combat the supporting of terrorist activities. If those measures prove to be inadequate or not sufficiently stern, the CTC may also adopt resolutions that determine military actions such as the establishment of peacekeeping operations. These prerogatives strongly empower the CTC as one of the chief UN bodies in the fight against terrorism.
Actually, terrorism cannot be utterly understood without a comprehensive understanding of Asia and its importance. As the largest and most populous continent in the world and as the cradle of growing and complex societies, Asia has been the ground of countless issues and threats to peace regarding terrorism. Not only is the Asian continent where many terrorist organizations maintain most of their terrorist cells but it also is a place where several terrorist attacks have been performed. In this sense, the purpose of CTC shall be the discussion of an open agenda (which will exclude the Middle East) in a crisis committee that will require proficiency and faultlessness of representatives in dealing with distinct crisis situations. The representatives of the CTC should look forward to achieving resolutions capable of answering any kind of terrorist hindrances to peace and of stimulating stabilization processes inside the Asian continent.
The fight against terrorism represents a primary challenge to the international community. The atmosphere of fear and anguish that surrounds terrorist attacks is not compatible with a culture of peace and freedom. It is not easy to find a balance between ostensive security measures and substantive individual liberties; official, governmental mechanisms usually point to the first asset while personal desires push for the second. The CTC shall pursue an approach that encompasses the protection of human rights, bold responses to crisis situations and a legitimate international framework to deal with terrorists. As far as it succeeds in such efforts, the CTC will collaborate to a freer and safer world.
