Ee-bow-lah-chee! Good Evening! Welcome fellow delegates and sir chair to the 2011 Model UN Conference. We hope to come to distinguished resolutions on the four topics on the docket. We aspire that all delegates attending the conference will have a chance to speak in front of the General Assembly as well as Security Council. While debate can raise tensions amongst we wish for peaceful agreements.
Regarding the economic growth and stabilization of the European Union, Nigeria does not advise to any extreme decisions regarding the entire United Nations. The European Union should retain sovereignty in their endeavor to repair their frail economic condition. Prior government’s downfalls have not been aided by the United Nations due to each country being so unique in their economic situations. If the United Nations chooses to intervene it would be up to the discretion of the economic and social council. Their responsibilities do include identifying solutions to international economic, social and health problems.
Currently Nigeria is housing refugees from the Ivory Coast, after the bombing due to their civil war. While we support these refugees we suggest the action the UN would take in spite of revolutionized government is to make sure the new government is stable. It should not be one country’s responsibility to stabilize a revolutionized government. The UN will need to create a collaborative committee consisting of volunteer nations, especially those who have gone through a revolution recently. The UN would provide funding to these governments through their stabilization period; afterwards it would be the responsibility of the nation to repay the UN. We hope fellow delegates can help us expand on this idea for the committee.
As to the definition of private military firms Nigeria offers the definition “an army that is not authorized by the government and that is hired by private contractors.” In regards of appropriate engagement in conflicts with private military firms, the UN personally uses them, as stated by Mordu Serry-Kamal in March of 2010. ”The united nations made the decision to embrace military contractors for the fact that they provide proper protection for their staff who operate in violent areas of the world such as: Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.” The United Nations is not the only organization/country that uses private military firms for protection. For example, oil companies in Nigeria use private military firms for the protection of our citizens from the repercussions of contamination associated with oil spills. Private military firms are necessary in order to perform the protective duties that the government military cannot provide. Therefore, the UN should not limit the use of private military firms.
Terrorism is a pertinent issue globally, be it in international waters, or within the borders of a conflicted region. Nigeria poses the definition of Terrorism as fallows. “The use of violence and intimidation civilians in pursuit of political, or religious aims by rebels of a body other than that of a recognized sovereign nation. Actions must be taken to curb the ever-persistent terror organizations as well as solo terrorists. The United Nations should enact a global intelligence network with the purposes to identify threats that pose danger to the stability and safety of a nations’ stability as well as provide a system that would allow aid in an attempt to suppress a terrorist attack.
