NMMUN 2011 Posting Guidelines


The NMMUN 2011 Blog is intended for the use of delegates to the 2011 New Mexico Model United Nations Conference. Following are some guidelines to follow.

All posts, additions, pages, files, or comments must be relevant to issues of the Model UN Conference, and they must be in language and intent appropriate for constructive discussion and debate of those issues. If members post inappropriate information or language, the Blog will have to be closed.

The primary purpose of the NMMUN 2011 Blog is to allow delegates to upload their position papers as a “Post” so that they can be read, shared, and discussed prior to the conference.

One student per delegation will be allowed to post its Position Statement, but all students may read the posts. If you wish to respond or comment on the blog and are unable to do so, ask your delegation’s designated person who is allowed to post to send the comment.

To post your nation’s Position Statement, simply past it into the text box as a “Post” on the Blog. The title should be “Your Country’s Name, Organization [General Assembly or Security Council], Position Statement” For example: “Guatemala, General Assembly, Position Statement”

Bangladesh, General Assembly, Position Paper

Honorable Chair, fellow delegates, and distinguished guests,

The People’s Republic of Bangladesh is honored to attend the 2011 Model United Nations General Assembly session.

Bangladesh recognizes our economy as developing towards a free market in order to reduce our dependency on foreign aid. Last year we received 2 billion dollars in foreign aid, a $236 million increase from the previous year. Receiving interest loans from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank help boost and stabilize our economy and raise our GDP by 6% in the next few years.

Bangladesh’s last revolution occurred over twenty years ago as a result of religious oppression from former leader Hussain Ershad. Our goal since has been to continue to stabilize our nation in education, economy, and religious freedoms. As a nation we hope to continue to make strides toward Millennium Development Goals while maintaining peace and religious freedom within our country.
Although Private military contractors are often seen as mercenaries, under the right conditions, they can be very effective at what they do. The biggest problem we currently see with PMCs is that they answer to no lawful power. Because they are private, they do not have the same strict rules and regulations that public armies abide by. Engaging in legitimate conflicts would be incredibly difficult without these contractors, therefore they should be allowed to remain with rules and limitations attached.
In regards to terrorism, Bangladesh views terrorism as a direct threat to our security and prosperity, and are taking actions to eliminate terrorist and extremist groups throughout our nation. After the 2005 serial bombings in Bangladesh, we sentenced seven JMB leaders to death for their involvement. We would also like the international community to recognize that racism against the people of our country in respect to terrorism is deplorable. It should be noted that Muslims are not terrorists, and terrorism exists on a worldwide scale. The People’s Republic of Bangladesh will not tolerate indiscriminant action against terrorists within our borders and by the international community.  
We would like to take this time to thank our fellow delegates for participating in what we hope to be a successful session.

Thank You.
