Security Council Solution

5 new permanent membersRetain same amount of rotating membersRequires 2 permanent members to vetoRotating members retain their vote, but no

veto power2 year rotations for non- members

Pros of our Solution

2 Vote Veto (Permanent Members Only)Would combat realist approaches to

governing statesMore updated representation of the worldProportional representation

Cons of our Solution

Still gives disproportionate representation to world powers

May marginalize rotating membersCould lead to a more fractured, faction-based

world
