Here is your final news update. This article is about a recent terrorist attack in Pakistan and the investigation into Al-Qaeda’s possible involvement. Think about how much mayhem would have resulted had the terrorist organization responsible used nuclear weapons…

It is an ongoing battle to maintain peace in the middle eastern region. China recognizes that terrorism is a daily threat within the region and realizes that had there been nuclear weapons used in this attack, the damage from the attack would have undoubtedly increased exponentially. This goes to show how pertinent the topic of nuclear terrorism really is in the international community today. We must work toward ending this ongoing problem before an act of nuclear terrorism occurs and becomes an infamous part of our history. China, in showing its dedication to ending the threat of nuclear terrorism, signed the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear terrorism on September 14, 2005, the first day the convention was open for signature. We are also active sponsors of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty which shows that we hold keeping nuclear weapons out of the hands of terrorists high on our list of priorities.

Belgium agrees with China on its policy on ending nuclear terrorism. The potential effects of terrorist acquiring nuclear weaponry is devastating. Belgium urges the international community to play a bigger role in keeping nuclear technology out of terrorist cells.
Belgium suggests that tougher restrictions and bans on supply and trade of Uranium/Nuclear Technology, which are essential materials for nuclear weaponry, may help stop the illegal trading of nuclear technology and materials. Belgium predicts that enforcement would be a problem for this solution and invites other delegates to propose a possible course of action for enforcement of the above.
As inaction leads to nothing, Belgium proposes to tackle the problem at hand with solid solutions to stop this threat before it gets out of hand.
