United Nations Security Council: Addressing Instability Within Hispaniola

Description

For over 500 years, the Caribbean island of Hispaniola has been repeatedly colonized and occupied by Western nations. Today, it is home to two independent nations: the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Yet, despite their proximity, the historical differences between these countries has made one of them a continually growing island nation, and the other one of the poorest countries in the world. This committee will focus on poverty, political instability, and food insecurity in Haiti, as well as the tension with the Dominican Republic. How can we address this famine, violence, immigration crisis, and climate change? As the Security Council, this committee will uphold the mission of protecting international peace and human rights.
