Addressing the potential for war between the Islamic State (ISIS, ISIL) and global parties.
The Security Council has primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, meaning that the issue of the Islamic State (ISIL) is very relevant to its mission. ISIL is a jihadist militant group and self-declared Islamic caliphate that claims to have political, social, and economic jurisdiction over the 1.57 billion Muslims worldwide. The group has about 40,000 fighters and covers an area approximately the size of Great Britain, meaning that its influence is far-reaching. ISIL has committed severe violations of human rights in the past few years and serves as undeniable proof of the dangers of growth of religious extremism. Amnesty International holds the group responsible for ethnic cleansing on a "historic scale" and the vast majority of the international community has designated ISIL a terrorist organisation. Consequently, ISIL poses major security threats to member nations of the United Nations. The United States, Canada, France, and the United Kingdom have spearheaded the fight against ISIL, but the resources allocated to managing this terrorist organisation have been insufficient. This year at ASDMUN, the Security Council will be addressing the potential for war between the Islamic State and global parties.
