SECURITY COUNCIL
Sofía Martinez
Chair
Welcome delegates,
My name is Sofia Martinez Polack and I am elated to be your Chair for the Security Council. I am 16 years old and currently a junior at the International American School of Cancun. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and painting, as well as hanging out with my friends and baking. After I graduate, I plan to study international law in Europe, possibly with a minor in international relations or political science.
This will be my sixth MUN conference. I have previously participated in CancunMUN twice, in committees such as WHO and GA, as well in PlayaMUN as a delegate in UNODC. Since my first conference I have aspired to be Chair of the Security Council, which now I have the honour of being so. This committee is one of the main six organs of the United Nations and is responsible for maintaining international peace and security.
Keep in mind that this committee can be challenging, therefore I expect for all my delegates to be prepared, serious, and most importantly, respectful. I am eager to be your Chair in the Security Council and truly look forward to working with each of you. Please remember that the background guide should not be your only source of information. I encourage you to take extra time to research thoroughly to have a rich and dynamic debate. I hope this conference allows you to not only debate and grow as delegates, but also to enjoy the experience.
If you have any doubts or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at sofia.martinez@ciac.edu.mx. I wish you the best of luck and see you soon delegates!

Natalia Medellin
Co-Chair
Hello Delegates,
​
My name is Natalia Medellin, and at this conference, I will have the pleasure of being your Co-chair of the Security Council. I am a senior in high school, I am 18 years old, and I study at the International American School of Cancun. I love spending time with my family and friends, cooking, and dancing. When I graduate from high school, I want to study biomedical engineering, either in Canada or Europe, and then work for a company specializing in that field.
CancunMUN 2026 will be my fourth Model UN. I participated in two PlayaMUNs, which I enjoyed immensely because of all the new people I met, the opportunities to develop my presentation skills, and learning how to express my points of view. These two conferences have prepared me to give my best at this conference so that I can eventually become a committee chair. This Committee is one of the main six organs of the United Nations and it mainly discusses the preservation of peace and security.
I hope all delegates will give their best, be ready to experiment, express themselves, be passionate, dedicated, and self-assured. Delegates are expected to have in-depth knowledge of the topics so that the debate can proceed smoothly and as expected. I recommend that your information is well-developed and not solely based on our background guide.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at my email address: natalia.medellin@ciac.edu.mx
