MUN Delegate Guide

As Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, you are the smallest country to have served on the UN Security Council -- an extraordinary achievement. Use this credential to demonstrate that small states can contribute meaningfully to international peace and security.

Your non-aligned stance allows you to work with diverse partners: Western democracies, ALBA states, and the non-aligned movement. The 2021 volcanic eruption, layered on COVID-19, is a powerful example of cascading crises hitting small vulnerable states.

Coordinate with OECS and CARICOM partners. Take principled positions on Palestine, Cuba, and climate that reflect the Global South perspective. Your Security Council experience gives you unusual procedural knowledge -- use it to mentor other small-state delegations.
