The insurgency of March 23, 1991 by the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) marked the starting point of a long and tumultuous civil war in the West African state of Sierra Leone. Seven years later, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 1181, creating the United Nations Observer Mission in Sierra Leone (UNOMSIL); it is from this point forward that delegates must work to reestablish peace and stability, navigating complex issues from the mining of “blood diamonds” to the disarmament and demobilization of paramilitary forces. They will not only use their resources to put an end to the conflict, but consider how to ensure peace and stability in a post-war Sierra Leone. This committee will operate as a full crisis on Thursday and Friday and a double del GA on Saturday.
