Combating Religious Extremism Through Democratisation Message from Secretary-General As the Secretary-General of the eighth session of AUSMUN, I would like to first and foremost express my gratitude for being part of an incredible experience working with a talented executive board and organizing committee. The sheer amount of students and faculty members involved in the process of preparing these background guides is something I am personally proud of. I cannot thank them enough for their time and dedication. In preparing this document, we kept one thing in mind: To make it as comprehensive—yet as intuitive—as possible. I hope that you will benefit from reading your committee's guide as much as my team and I have benefitted from writing it. Being an AUSMUN delegate requires you to write a position paper that explicates your assigned country’s position. A delegate also needs to be well-versed in the art of diplomacy and MUN procedures. The following pages contain detailed instructions on how to write and submit a position paper, along with a description of AUSMUN guidelines and rules of procedure. I look forward to meeting you all at the conference this March. Best Regards, Omar Al Mutawa Omar Al Mutawa Secretary-General AUSMUN 2015 ii Research Guidelines Where to begin? 1. Know the United Nations 2. General research on assigned topic 3. Research country’s policies with regard to assigned topic (your countries’ views, allies/opposition, positions of allies/opposition). 4. General research on country’s background and culture (statistical data on topic and country). To learn about your country, start by answering the following: . What sort of government/ ideologies does your country have? . Which domestic issues might influence your country’s foreign policy? . What are some major events in your country’s history? . Which ethnicities, religions, languages can be found in your country? . How does your country’s geography affect its political relationships? Borders? . Which countries are considered allies/ enemies of your country? . What are the characteristics of your country’s economy? GDP? Compare. When did your country become a UN member? . Does your country belong to any organizations outside the UN system: . Intergovernmental organizations (NATO, OPEC) . Regional organizations (EU, AU, OAS) . Trade organizations or agreements (NAFTA, OECD) Where to find information about your country: . CIA World Factbook: general overview on your country, facts, statistics . Permanent mission: of your country to the UN, at http://www.un.int/wcm/content/site/portal/lang/en/home/websites . UN Bibliographic Information System: voting records, speeches, resolutions passed, at http://unbisnet.un.org . News and media: recent developments in your country, press releases from UN and SG, at http://www.un.org/news . US State Department report on your country Keep in mind: Always respect your country’s policy! Remember it is not your opinion you are expounding but the country you are representing. iii Position Paper Guidelines General Length: A maximum of two pages. Format: Times New Roman, 12-point font, single-spaced, and normal margins. Note: Your name, country assigned, committee name and topics must be clearly labeled. Deadline: 4th March 2015 Please note that excellent papers will be considered for the Position Paper Award. Topics The position paper for your committee must cover both of the topics that are mentioned in this background guide. Please make headers that distinguish the first topic from the second. The word document should be saved in the following format: Committee_Country_Institution_Delegate’s Name as required on certificate. Example: ECOSOC_Afghanistan_AUS_Omar Al Mutawa Policies Do not use personal pronouns, such as “we” or “us”. Stick to “the delegate of country X asserts” or “country X believes...” In order to write a successful position paper, you should research sufficiently the policies of your country towards the topic at hand and accurately represent them in your writing. Make sure that you are consistent in the views of your country that you represent. Think about what your country would say in response to such a situation and link that with their foreign and domestic policies as well as any relevant institutions or laws that the country may have that pertain to the topic. The position paper must comprise of entirely original writing. The faculty member or head delegate in charge must collect all position papers and send them as one email to [email protected]. iv Sample Position Paper The following position paper is an example of the quality of position papers submitted to collegiate level international Model United Nations such as NMUN. The sample is meant to explain the stylistic requirements of a position paper. It is also a good sample that explains how sources, like UN resolutions and documents, are cited and depicts the quality of the content we expect in a position paper. Delegation from Represented by Republic of Georgia American University of Sharjah Position Paper for the General Assembly First Committee The topics before the General Assembly First Committee are: Measures to Prevent Terrorists From Acquiring Weapons of Mass Destruction, Relationship between Disarmament and Development, and Prevention of an Arms Race in Outer Space. Linking continents and cultures, the Republic of Georgia is fully committed to the United Nations principles of international cooperation and the maintenance of peace and security, as reflected by the continues diplomatic efforts of UN special envoy Antti Turunen and success of the recent democratic elections. As a member of the Council of Europe, the CoE Convention on the Suppression of Terrorism, and the GUAM Organization for Democracy and Economic Development, the Republic of Georgia plays a key role in multilateral cooperation and significantly contributes to the promotion of disarmament, suppression of terrorism, and social and economic development. Georgia attaches utmost importance to the topics with the aim of maintaining peace and security in the international community. I. Measures to Prevent Terrorists From Acquiring Weapons of Mass Destruction The Republic of Georgia strongly supports the United Nations efforts to prevent terrorists from acquiring weapons of mass destruction. Recognizing the potential that such weapons hold in fulfilling terrorist aspirations, the republic affirms that terrorist acquisition of weapons of mass destruction poses a continuous threat to global peace and security. The Republic believes that this a key issue some of the member states’ national governments face today. Ever since the Rose Revolution of the Georgian government, the republic has constantly intensified its efforts in fighting terrorism in all means and adopted coherent, coordinated, and wide-ranging strategies for the fight against terrorism through the Law of Georgia on Combating Terrorism, Law of Georgia on Organized Crime and Racketeering, and the recently implemented Criminal Procedural Code. The Republic of Georgia consents to the essential significance of international cooperation against terrorist acquisition of weapons of mass destruction to promote international security, and protect civilians and the environment. Accordingly, Georgia became a party to all thirteen (13) United Nations antiterrorism conventions. Georgia highlights the importance of installing advanced equipment on countries’ borders to enhance the capacities of agencies to detect trafficking of radioactive, chemical, and biological material that might be used for terrorist aims, as expressed in A/68/164. Georgia welcomes the efforts of the United Nations General Assembly First Committee in A/RES/2373, stressing that both nuclear weapon and non-nuclear weapon states carry the responsibility of acting in accordance with the principles of the United Nations Charter and the need to install stricter effective measures for the cessation of nuclear disarmament. In this regard, Georgia highlights The Chemical Weapons Convention, which reiterates the requirement for gradual nuclear disarmament, thus, both reducing possibilities of v - a Sample Position Paper nuclear attacks and terrorists acquiring weapons of mass destruction. Bearing this in mind, Georgia approves of The Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty and the Biological Weapons Convention, which aim to monitor and reduce possession of weapons of mass destruction by states. Georgia, emphasizing on the destructive consequences of terrorist acquisition of weapons of mass destruction on international peace and security, suggests establishing the International Prevention Pact (IPP) in order to prevent terrorists from acquiring weapons of mass destruction. The program will offer an international monitoring system that will eliminate global weapons of mass destruction illegal markets and terrorist training camps spreading weapons of mass destruction related teachings and training and begin developing advanced detection technologies to be installed on countries’ borders. IPP will considerably improve international cooperation towards this issue by implementing stricter legislations. Georgia stresses that a coherent coordination of Member States efforts is required to confront this issue and make the entire world a safer place. II. Relationship between Disarmament and Development With one of the exponentially growing GDP’s, The Republic of Georgia is fully dedicated to achieve sustainability and development, not just domestically, but globally. Georgia recalls Article 26 of the Charter of the United Nations (1946), which

  • Moldovan Headaches

Introduction The 2001 Parliamentary Elections in the Republic of Moldova were conducted in an atmos- phere of extreme social and economic hardship. The average monthly salary in the former Soviet Republic, sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine, is around 30 US-Dollar today and the real GDP of the country has fallen to 30 percent of the pre-independence level1. Moldova, which has no natural resources and whose economy is dominated by the agricul- tural sector, has now replaced Albania as the poorest country in Europe. When Moldovans were asked in a recent opinion poll what they fear most, 39 percent of the respondents an- swered ‘poverty’. In the same poll 87 percent stated that their income is hardly enough to cover their minimum expenses and 52 percent said that they would leave Moldova for good or at least for a certain period of time2. Already today over 700,000 Moldovan citizens are said to be abroad. Ten years after independence, Moldova has become a country without much hope, battered not only by economic decline, corruption3 and debt4 but also by an identity crises. The discussions of the early nineties, on whether Moldova is a nation in its own right or simply an offshoot of Romania, have quieted down, but not disappeared altogether. The conflicts between pro-Romanian unionists and Moldovanists have made it also more difficult to create a civic identity, which would include the Russians, the Ukrainians, the Gagauz, the Bulgarians, the Jews and other non-Moldovans which account for nearly 35 percent of the Republic’s population.

  • Comments of the Republic of Uzbekistan to the Summary of the 25 Ngos Reports and Statements with Their Allegations About Human Rights Violation in Uzbekistan
    Comments of the Republic of Uzbekistan to the Summary of the 25 NGOs Reports and Statements with their allegations about human rights violation in Uzbekistan The Government of Uzbekistan undertakes coherent measures to improve the situation in the field of human rights with special attitude to the fulfillment of its international obligations in this field. The policy of Uzbekistan in the field of human rights is implemented in accordance with fundamental principles and measures developed by the United Nations. Therefore, Uzbekistan forged close relationships with chartered and UN treaty bodies as well as with specialized UN mechanisms. Having reviewed the information provided by the NGOs one can come to a conclusion that these organizations often use inaccurate information based on the groundless evidence and rumors. Their activities, in most cases, are deliberately aimed at discrediting Uzbekistan’s Government policy in the field of human rights. NGO’s criticism of Uzbekistan’s policy is not constructive and does not stimulate further progress of the country and the society towards an effective system of human rights protection. The NGOs conclusions are incompetent, superficial and aimed at exaggerating the real situation. They do not have an objective analysis of positive experience gained by Uzbekistan. One can with confidence say that during the years of its independence Republic of Uzbekistan has created effective system of human rights protection, namely: firstly, Republic of Uzbekistan has developed its own model of gradual implementation
