NATO in Model UN

NATO is an alliance of 32 countries in Europe and North America, founded in 1949, whose treaty treats an armed attack on one ally as an attack on all. Its North Atlantic Council decides by consensus, with no vote. A NATO committee in Model UN seats the allies, and Russia and cyber attacks recur as threats on its agendas.
