  • As the British government, this Council regrets the Commonwealth country.

    Infoslide

    The Commonwealth of Nations is an organization consisting mostly of countries that were former British colonies.

Currently, there are 56 member countries in the Commonwealth, including major countries such as Australia, Canada, India, South Africa, and Malaysia. The Commonwealth is regarded as a symbol of unity and cooperation among its member countries. However, opinions on the role and relevance of this organization in the modern era vary. Some see it as an important platform for fostering trade and diplomatic relations.

  • We believe that the active restructuring of CELAC by Latin American countries, following the EU model, will bring more benefits than harm.

    Infoslide

    The European Union (EU) is a transnational economic and political organization comprising a membership of 27 countries, primarily located in Europe. Member countries delegate certain decision-making and policy-setting powers to the Union, meaning they share governing authority with the EU. Some notable features of the European Union include: citizens of member countries have the right to move and work freely in any other member country; some member countries participate in the Eurozone, adopting the Euro as their official currency and delegating monetary policy decisions to the European Central Bank; and there are no customs duties between member countries, among others. Currently, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) consists of 33 Latin American and Caribbean countries aimed at linking these nations to enhance political dialogue and socio-cultural integration within the region, improve the quality of life for its people, stimulate economic growth, and elevate the well-being of the populace. The Community functions to organize talks and conferences but does not have specific executive or legislative powers, meaning it cannot create binding agreements among member countries.
