The Committee on Disarmament and International Security (DISEC)
After having formulated three different
Draft Resolutions, the Committee on
Disarmament and International Security
has worked on the creation of a
resolution that merged the most
important points from each draft in one.
Among others, an important issue was
the role of Chinese investment in South
Sudanese oil. Another topic was the
illegal passing of light weapons and
arms in the region. The debates on
those topics took a lot of time and were
discussed intensely by the present
delegates.
Additionally, the Delegate of Belarus
made the proposition to find a shortterm
solution to the water problem, e.g.
by flying in water supplies, and to
meanwhile invest in scientific research
in order to protect the groundwater from
further pollution.
Putting pressure on the Sudanese
government was furthermore discussed
as a possible solution to ensure tighter
environmental standards and to improve
humanitarian conditions.
Mediation, not dictate
Since it is the low-level rebellion and
tribe leaders that have the loudest voice
in Sudan and due to the fact that these
stakeholders do not wish to work
together in order to create peace, the
proposal of an advanced democratic
system has to be posed. But of course,
one cannot simply impose a new
governmental system on a country.
The government of Sudan has plenty
financial funds, but these can hardly be
influenced by the inferior population and
often fall prey to misusage. It is
therefore advisable to motivate the
Sudanese leaders to dialogue, to advise
democratic countries to help the
Sudanese government to appreciate the
values of a well-functioning democratic
system and to externally invest in
border controls and local police forces
to decrease the high number of
weapons in the country.
