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”

Yemen 2011 NMMUN position statement

Having no direct affiliation with the European Union, Yemen does not believe that organizations such as the Arab League of nations should provide funding to maintain the stability of the EU. We do, however, feel that the EU is an important central entity to the prosperity of Europe. Yemen suggests that other western organizations and the UN should provide aid to the EU.

Yemen, as a long-term member of the Arab League as Nations, supports any nation entering a revolution. The main goal of the Arab League is national sovereignty and maintaining the human rights of all the Arab people. We acknowledge that Arab nations in a post-revolutionary state will not want Western control in their land. We believe that we should allow the Arab League of Nations to provide humanitarian support to the people of these nations. We feel that this could be the most productive method of providing aid to these people

Yemen feels that the definition of terrorism thus far is sufficient, but feels security from terrorism should be achieved through the rule of law. Yemen knows all too well that failed terrorism prevention efforts are based on a legal framework that is not yet in full compliance with the international standards set forth in the universal legal instruments against terrorism. Yemen also feels that the first step to eradicating terrorism lies in eradicating poverty. In the meantime however, Yemen desires increased cooperation from intelligence services to close information gaps and more readily respond to terrorist activities. Finally, Yemen believes strongly in international support through economic or otherwise non-intrusive aid, but feels that international military responses to terrorism impinge on national sovereignty and should be curtailed.

In regards to private military contractors Yemen believes that nations should have the right by whatever means necessary to protect their citizens. However on the matter of evicting Al-Qaeda from Yemeni territory we do not believe that it the responsibility of US Central Command to take care of this for the Yemeni people. Yemen believes that PMC’s should be allowed to be hired by any nation wanting them.
