Position Statement

1. Pan-American Arms Trafficking

Although Lebanon is not directly affected by illegal pan-American arms trafficking based

on our country's geographic location, we are firmly opposed to the illegal trade of weapons. It is

of the utmost importance that stricter policies regarding trade of arms are mandated and

enforced.

2. Nuclear Weapon Nonproliferation, Energy Regulation and Uranium Mining

Lebanon is for the disarmament and prevention of nuclear weaponry.

Lebanon supports the regulation of energy usage per country. Lebanon supports the advancement

of alternative energies.

Lebanon supports mining uranium for energy or for civil purposes, yet opposes uranium mining

for the construction of weaponry.

3. Definition of Terrorism and Addressing Appropriate International Responses

Terrorism is defined as the act or acts intended to spread terror. The appropriate

international response to terrorism should be swift and effective; military may or may not be

necessary from allied nations.
