Position paper for Security Council A
| Country: | Algeria |
| Topic: | The Situation in the Sudans |
| Paper text: | |
| The crisis in the Sudans has created severe humanitarian suffering and regional instability that demand urgent UN action. Fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, along with other armed groups, has devastated towns, cut supply lines, and displaced millions across borders, straining host states and risking wider violence. UN and OCHA reports highlight worsening conditions in Darfur and along the Chadian and South Sudanese borders. Following the closure of the UN Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in Sudan (UNITAMS) in December 2023 (Resolution 2715 (2023)), renewed international engagement is essential to prevent further deterioration. Algeria calls for immediate, practical steps to protect civilians and restore basic services. First, the Security Council should demand a verified ceasefire and the opening of humanitarian corridors monitored by UN agencies like the World Food Programme and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs to deliver aid without obstruction. Second, Algeria supports Africanâled mediation in partnership with the UN and recommends appointing a neutral Special Envoy to convene inclusive talks involving armed actors, transitional authorities, womenâs groups, civil society, and displaced populations. Third, stabilization must combine ceasefire verification with disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) programs and a mixed AUâUN observer presence focused on civilian protection, drawing on lessons from UNAMID (Resolution 1769 (2007)). Fourth, longâterm recovery requires multiyear reconstruction plans to restore schools, clinics, markets, and governance, reducing drivers of conflict and limiting refugee flows. Where credible allegations of mass atrocity exist, Algeria endorses cooperation with accountability mechanisms while sequencing justice to avoid undermining fragile peace, consistent with Resolutions 1265 (1999) and 1894 (2009). Algeria further urges coordination with IGAD and the AU Peace and Security Council to support transitional arrangements and elections. Sustained, Africanâowned, UNâsupported action is vital to prevent the Sudansâ crisis from escalating into a broader threat to international peace and security. | |

| Topic: | The Situation in the Middle East, Including the Palestinian Question |
| Paper text: | |
| Since October 7, 2023, the Ministry of Health in Gaza reported over 66,000 Palestinians have been killed, 168,000 injured, and 90% displaced from their homes, with the World Food Program reporting 640,000 are facing famine. The People's Democratic Republic of Algeria commends the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, the World Health Organization, and others in organizing humanitarian aid for refugees. Algeria emphasizes the importance of Security Council resolution 2720 (2023) of December 22, 2023 on increasing humanitarian access and establishing a UN Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza to facilitate and monitor the uninhibited flow of aid. Member States should also note the International Court of Justice Case on Israel's Occupation of the Palestinian Territories (Advisory Opinion) of 19 July 2024 and the General Assemblyâs resolution 77/247 (2023) of 9 January 2023 found the occupation to be illegal acts of segregation and apartheid. Security Council resolution 2334 (2016) of December 23, 2016 condemned the settlements as a "flagrant violation of international law" with "no legal validity". Algeria has concerns due to North Africaâs own experience with occupation, as well as regional security following strikes in multiple states which pose a potential threat to Middle East and North African neighbors. Algeria reaffirms strong support for a two-state solution and the three-step plan laid out in Security Council resolution 2735 (2024) of 10 June 2024, including ceasefire, withdrawal of troops, and reconstruction of Gaza. Algeria recommends implementation and dialogue supervision be led by the Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs and reconstruction be under the supervision and guidance of the United Nations Development Programme and the United Nations Office for Project Services. Algeria urges Member States to join Algeriaâs commitments in ending this conflict via an arms embargo on Israel, recognizing the human rights violations, and supporting a two-state solution. | |

| Topic: | Threats to International Peace and Security |
| Paper text: | |
| Threats to international peace are increasingly interconnected: intrastate conflict spills across borders, mass displacement strains neighbors, illicit arms flow fuel violence, terrorism spreads instability, and climateâdriven resource stress heightens competition. Recent developments in the Sahel and the AUâs stabilization mission in Somalia (ATMIS) illustrate how local crises can escalate regionally. Algeria emphasizes prevention, civilian protection, and African ownership as core principles for Security Council action and urges reaffirmation of past UN decisions supporting these priorities. The Council should strengthen AUâUN early warning systems and preventive diplomacy to defuse crises before escalation, building on practices reflected in Resolution 1996 (2011) and integrated mandate guidance. To curb illicit arms and violent extremism, Algeria supports regional interdiction, intelligence sharing, and joint capacityâbuilding paired with community programs offering jobs, education, and deradicalization support. The Council must also insist on unimpeded humanitarian access and protections under international humanitarian law, guided by General Assembly Resolution 77/247 (2023) and Security Council Resolution 2735 (2024). Political solutions must be inclusiveâincorporating women, youth, and marginalized groups âand link ceasefires to verified DDR and security sector reform under AUâUN cooperation models such as UNAMID (Resolution 1769 (2007)). Algeria recalls Resolution 1325 (2000) on Women, Peace and Security, and Resolutions 2250 (2015) and 2467 (2019) on Youth, Peace and Security, reinforcing the Councilâs commitment to inclusive peace processes. Algeria further calls for integrating climate resilience into security planning by supporting adaptation and community programs that ease competition over water and arable land, emphasizing the link between environmental stress, food insecurity, displacement, and conflict. Where civilian protection compels, Algeria supports narrowly tailored, timeâlimited Chapter VII measures coordinated with African partners and accompanied by clear exit and reconstruction plans. Algeria reaffirms its commitment to work with the Council, AU, and regional bodies to ensure prevention, protection, and inclusive governance remain central to collective security. | |
| Country: | Denmark |
| Topic: | Strategic Security in Arctic Regions |
| Paper text: | |
| The Kingdom of Denmark is deeply committed to maintaining the Arctic as a region of peace, stability, and international cooperation. Denmark recognizes rapid changes on multiple fronts through both climate and military strategy. Notably, these changes introduce complex security challenges that demand a multilateral approach grounded in international law and dialogue. Let all member-states remember the importance of national sovereignty and depose of any unilateral actions of one nation upon another. Diplomacy and cooperation prevail over military escalation and competition. As Chapter 6, Article 33, of the UN Charter states, we have a responsibility to seek a solution by negotiation for all matters that threaten or dispute international peace and security. The security of the Arctic is inextricably linked to the security of the entire global community, and it is, therefore, a legitimate concern of the United Nations Security Council. The Kingdom of Denmark reaffirms its unwavering belief that the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) provides the foundational legal framework for managing the Arctic Ocean. Issues of sovereignty, maritime boundaries, and resource exploitation must be resolved peacefully and in accordance with this established body of international law. Denmark, along with Greenland and the Faroe Islands, has a strong track record of collaborative dispute resolution, as demonstrated by our joint efforts with Canada to resolve the issue of Hans Island. We call upon all Arctic and non- Arctic states to respect the principles of UNCLOS and to pursue all territorial and maritime claims through legal and diplomatic means, such as the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS). Furthermore, all of these recommendations serve to maintain and expand on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) we have agreed to. Specifically, SDGs 13, 14, and 16. Denmark cautions against the militarization of the Arctic. Increased military presence and activity in the region risks escalation, undermining decades of successful cooperation. The Kingdom of Denmark calls upon the Security Council to endorse a policy that combines a firm commitment to international law with an understanding of geopolitical competition. We must work collaboratively to address the shared challenges. | |
| Country: | Denmark |
| Topic: | Addressing the Effects of Climate Change on Peace and Security |
| Paper text: | |
| The Kingdom of Denmark recognizes climate change as one of the greatest global threats to peace and security. Extreme weather, rising sea levels, and resource scarcity are amplifying conflict, especially in regions that are already unstable. Denmark views climate change as both an environmental challenge and a risk multiplier that intensifies displacement, competition over natural resources, and social tensions. As a member of the Security Council, Denmark is committed to advancing an evidence-based understanding of the links between climate, peace, and security. Denmark supports implementing climate and security-related analysis into the mandates of UN missions and improving early warning systems to anticipate conflict risks. Denmark demonstrates global climate leadership through contributions to the Green Climate Fund and UN Peacebuilding Fund. The impacts of climate change are not distributed equally; small island developing states face rising seas while the Sahel and Horn of Africa experience drought and instability. It is Denmarkâs position that mitigating these pressures is vital to preventing conflict and sustaining global peace. Denmark recognizes that while all nations share responsibility for addressing climate change, the burden of its impacts falls disproportionately on developing Member States that have contributed least to global emissions. It is therefore essential that developed nations uphold their commitments under the Paris Agreement to provide climate finance, technology transfer, and capacity-building support, ensuring that no region is left behind in the transition toward sustainable resilience. Under the Paris Agreementâs principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, Denmark calls for solidarity while recognizing differing capacities. In line with General Assembly Resolution 77/165 on adaptation and resilience-building, Denmark believes climate action must be fully integrated into peacebuilding and humanitarian responses in pursuit of Sustainable Development Goal 13 (Climate Action). Furthermore, Denmark was among the sponsors of General Assembly Resolution 77/276, requesting an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice on Statesâ legal obligations to prevent climate harm. This initiative reflects Denmarkâs view that holding states accountable for their climate commitments is essential to maintaining lasting global stability and achieving Sustainable Development Goal 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). Through partnerships, data sharing, and increased financing for climate-related security initiatives, Denmark urges the United Nations to address environmental risks as core security concerns. To strengthen international cooperation, Denmark proposes the creation of a UN Climate Security Data Hub to facilitate information sharing, joint climate-risk assessments, and evidence-based decision- making across missions and agencies. The Kingdom of Denmark stands ready to work with all Member States to ensure that climate cooperation becomes a foundation for peace, stability, and sustainable development worldwide. | |
| Country: | France |
| Topic: | Russian Invasion of Ukraine |
| Paper text: | |
| In the charter of the United Nations, we collectively enshrined universal principles such as
sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the peaceful settlement of disputes. The French Republic
reaffirms its unwavering commitment to these principles and is deeply disturbed by the
Russian Federationâs invasion of Ukraine, which constitutes a grave breach of this charter,
reminiscent of the most egregious violations since the Second World War. The invasion is a
blatant contradiction of the principles this body upholds and violates international law. The
French Republic unequivocally condemns this aggression in all its forms. Since the invasion of
Ukraine began on February 24, 2022, the French Republic has consistently stood in solidarity
with Ukraine and its people in their struggle to defend their sovereignty and determine their
own destiny.
The French Republic of France has demonstrated solidarity with Ukraine through medical aid, economic support, refugee acceptance, and collaboration with international groups. We imposed economic and diplomatic penalties on aggressors and will increase pressure until the conflicts end. While Ukraine needs unconditional support, sanctions and aid are not enough. The French Republic demands that the Security Council encourage dialogue between parties to prevent escalation and ultimately end the war through purposeful negotiations. | |
| Country: | France |
| Topic: | West African Counterterrorism Operations |
| Paper text: | |
| The French Republic recognizes West Africaâs prosperity as crucial for international peace
and stability. The region faces significant challenges, including political corruption,
terrorism, and humanitarian crises. The French Republic reaffirms its commitment to
partnering with Western African allies to address these crises and ensure regional security.
In response to partner governmentsâ requests, the French Republic supports stability in
West Africa, through counter terrorism operations, leveraging its reliability and resilience to
contribute to a more stable region. The French Republic has provided assistance in counter-
terrorism operations in the region, notably through Operation Serval in Mali in 2013,
contributing to regional stability. Furthermore, the French Republic is committed to
humanitarian and developmental initiatives in the region.
The French Republic calls upon the international community should provide medical, financial, educational, and resource aid to countries in the region for long-term stability. | |
| Country: | France |
| Topic: | Terrorism and Radicalization |
| Paper text: | |
| The French Republic recognizes the growing global threat of terrorism and radicalization as
one of the most pressing threats to international and domestic security. Recognizing that the
French Republic has not had exceptionally devastating extremist terror attacks in recent
times, we call upon the international community to collaborate in monitoring and deterring
terrorist activities, with enhanced online security measures and a national counter terrorism
unit to swiftly deal with extremist and terrorist groups before they act. The French Republic
remains a committed player in the global fight against terrorism, working with NATO and
other members of the United Nations to play a leading role in counterterrorism operations
internally, regionally, and globally.
The French Republic emphasizes the importance of intelligence-sharing with global partners, working with regional partners on border security, and financial measures to cut the funding of extremist groups. The French Republic urges this council to support a comprehensive approach to terrorism that combines both security operations and prevention measures. This includes addressing socioeconomic factors that extremist organizations use to exploit vulnerable individuals and radicalize them. | |
| Country: | Greece |
| Topic: | Peacekeepers to protect UNRWA |
| Paper text: | |
| Reaching a consensus on preferred action to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict presents an
opportunity to cultivate stability on security issues in the Middle East. The United Nations
has a specific responsibility to the civilians of both nations to continue peace-building
efforts, as the Israeli nation-state would not have international standing without the
passage of A/RES/181. The international body must build upon valiant efforts to balance
the interests and humanitarian rights of both nations as it has in the past with A/RES/194
and S/RES/242.
The Security Council must respond to the new Israeli-Palestinian ceasefire with careful deliberation. Greece believes that it must be ensured that the ceasefire continues to progress to create peace in the region. Given that on October 16th, 26 Palestinians were killed due to an Israeli airstrike, such stabilization is tentative and fragile. The Hellenic Republic of Greece encourages that the United Nations Peacekeepers be introduced to the region to hold both parties accountable for their duties to facilitate a smooth transition into a fully realized ceasefire. Greece asserts that it should be a primary goal of the implemented Peacekeepers to protect educational humanitarian aid provided by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). Currently, Palestinian suffering is a tragic display of the truth that civilians bear the brunt of political conflict. As of October 2025, 10% of the Palestinian nation has been seriously injured or killed as a direct result of the tense conditions. The quality of life of the remaining civilians will be severely decreased by the estimated 70- billion-dollar loss in important infrastructure. Specifically, as UNRWA reports, 91.8% of all Palestinian schools require âfull reconstruction or major rehabilitation work to be functional again.â This violates core principles of the Geneva Convention such as the right of citizens to protection from collective punishment. Acknowledging the grave ramifications of the youngest generation lacking basic education, UNRWA has ensured that 9,938 children have been provided literacy and numeracy training since 2023. Given that nearly half of the Palestinian population is under eighteen, UNRWAâs educational programs must be expanded. Educated civilians can affect a nation's ability to solve problems and possess the capability to self-advocate, which in turn affects long term stability. In their 192nd report, the UNRWA Commissioner General stressed that there are still 660,000 children eagerly awaiting their return to school. The application of Peacekeepers to protect the educational work of UNRWA, as the ceasefire precedes, will safeguard the human right to education outlined in Article 26 of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights. Greece strongly holds that having an educated youngest generation supports the development of any nation and hinges on the action of Peacekeepers and UNRWA. | |

| Topic: | Protection of pregnant women and children in Sudan |
| Paper text: | |
| For more than two years, the conflict in Sudan has continued to destroy the lives of many
civilians. According to the United Nations office for the coordination of humanitarian
affairs (OCHA), over 30 million Sudan civilians are in need of humanitarian aid, basic
services such as food, protection, education, infrastructure, and healthcare, are in collapse
making it difficult for the people to rebuild their lives. This state of affairs has left a
community more vulnerable, pregnant women and children. These women who are
expecting are without suitable maternal care and children are at a high risk of diseases,
violence, and malnutrition. The Hellenic Republic of Greece reaffirms its commitment to
the protection of civilians in conflict and consistently advocates for humanitarian aid and
peacekeeping operations, ensuring access to aid, safeguarding, and strengthening
agencies such as Medical Teams International (MTI) and MedGlobal. Greece supports
S/RES/2764 (2024) on sustainability of child protection capacities in UN peace operations
transitions, reaffirms its commitment to the protection of children. Greece also advocates
for ceasefires in order for humanitarian workers to flow freely without any obstruction.
Calls upon peacekeepers to facilitate and monitor safe humanitarian aid to ensure medical
and nutritional delivery, prioritizing maternal and child health-based services, deployment
of mobile clinics operated by NGOâs to support in prenatal, childbirth, and postnatal care
for pregnant women in conflict zones and displacement camps. As well as pediatric health
care with nutritional support, necessary medications, and psychosocial support, affected
by the war.
The Hellenic Republic of Greece wants a path that must be firmly grounded in full respect for international law, existing international agreements, the rule of law, human rights, but also minority rights. The state of Greece believes that a true measure of progress lies in our ability to defend humanity and secure prosperity for all people. History has taught people a lesson of neglecting peace through immense sacrifice, loss, and suffering. Let us prove the vision, courage, and unity needed to build a world of peace, security, and shared prosperity, one worthy of future generations to come and follow. It is in our hands to maintain that responsibility, especially towards pregnant women and children. | |
| Country: | Guyana |
| Topic: | Topic 1 |
| Paper text: | |
| Guyana stands in strong affirmation of promoting democracy and peaceful resolution.
Guyana upholds these standards across all world conflicts, including Gaza, Sudan and Iran.
In 2025, President of Guyana, Irfaan Ali, â...affirmed his countryâs unwavering position in
support of the Palestinian peopleâs inalienable rights.â We believe that Israel has abused its
self defense position, and that they have committed a âmass exterminationâ against the
Palestinian people. Guyana condemns the October 7th attacks by Hamas, but we encourage
the two-state solution. Guyana stresses the importance of International Humanitarian Law,
and the protection of innocent civilians. As for the conflict in the Darfur region of Sudan,
Guyana was part of a joint statement issued on behalf of the Security Council, where, âBased
on extensive testimonial, digital and documentary evidence collected, the Office has
confirmed it has reasonable grounds to believe that war crimes and crimes against humanity
have been and continue to be committed in Darfur.â The situation in Sudan is dire, and
Guyana believes that it is of utmost importance that the Security Council, and the rest of the
international community attempt to end the suffering of civilians in the Darfur region.
Guyana is also concerned about the ongoing tensions with Iran. Guyanaâs Permanent
Representative to the UN, Ambassador Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, issued a statement:
âGuyana reiterates its appeal to both Israel and Iran to exercise maximum restraint and to
avoid any further maneuvers that could plunge the entire Middle East into further turmoil, or
worse, result in a nuclear catastrophe.â We strongly urge both sides to come together, and
focus on the principles of international law. Guyana values peace, humanity and prosperity
for all, and we translate these values into our positions on world conflicts. We urge the rest
of the Security Council and international community to follow suit, especially regarding the
ongoing conflicts in Gaza, Sudan and Iran.

| Topic: | The Situation in the Middle East, Including the Palestinian Question |
| Paper text: | |
| The Palestinian question remains one of the most enduring challenges before the United
Nations. Since the implementation of General Assemblyâs Resolution 181, Palestinian
peoples have faced displacement, occupation, and questioning of their rights to self-
determination and governance. The continued Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories
since 1967, such as the East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, and West Bank, constitutes a clear
violation of international law as ruled by the International Court of Justice on December
30th, 2022. The Islamic Republic of Pakistan reaffirms its unwavering support for the
Palestinian cause and the establishment of an independent and sovereign state of Palestine,
based on the pre-1967 borders with Al Quds Al-Sharif as Palestineâs capital. Pakistanâs stance
is firmly rooted in legality and in Security Council Resolutions such as 446, 465, and 2334; all
of which condemn Israeliâs settlements in occupied territories and express that their
occupation is devoid of legal validity.
Pakistan acknowledges the recently proposed 20-point Gaza peace plan presented by the United States, which outlines steps including a ceasefire, prisoner exchanges, phased withdrawal, disarmament, and reconstruction of Gaza. While Pakistan supports all genuine international efforts aimed at ending hostilities and alleviating the humanitarian crisis, these initiatives must align with the principles and frameworks established by the United Nations and the consensus among Muslim states. Pakistan reiterates that a just and durable peace can only be achieved through a comprehensive solution consistent with international law, ensuring the establishment of an independent and sovereign State of Palestine based on pre-1967 borders. Pakistan expresses deep concern over the continued Israeli settlement expansion, forced evictions, and the ongoing blockade of Gaza, which are inconsistent with obligations under the Fourth Geneva Convention. The deteriorating humanitarian situation displays the severe urgency of the need for unimpeded access to humanitarian assistance and the protection of Palestinian civilians. Pakistan urges the Security Council to ensure the full implementation of its resolutions, demand an immediate ceasefire, support the two-state solution following the United Nations framework, and strengthen humanitarian aid through UNRWA. Pakistan further calls for accountability for all violations of international law. Pakistan firmly believes that lasting peace and stability in the Middle East cannot be achieved without justice for the Palestinian people and the realization of their right to self-determination and statehood. | |

| Topic: | The Situation in the Sudans |
| Paper text: | |
| Sudan's long serving dictator was overthrown by the military; however, a civil war was ignited when the two factions of the military turned
against each other. War crimes were committed on both sides. Furthermore, the IPC reported to the security council that the deliberate
continuation of this crisis has created a man-made famine. Pakistan deeply condemns humanitarian law violations towards civilians and calls
on all parties in Sudan to confine to the Jeddah Declaration and those whoâve committed crimes must be held responsible. Pakistan calls for a
cessation of hostilities, and an immediate ceasefire by the parties to resolve the conflict with peaceful political dialogue. However, Pakistan is
also skeptical of claims of famine presented by the IPC for Sudanâs Government has questioned the quality of their reporting. Nonetheless,
Pakistan still recognizes there is indeed a food security situation in Sudan. Pakistan encourages collaboration between the Sudanese
government and the international community in addressing this humanitarian conflict. An essential way this could look like is by helping to
allocate the 36% funding gap. While Pakistan is committed to a conflict resolution and accountability for perpetrators, these goals must be
fulfilled by the international community collaborating with the Sudanese government. Collaboration must create solid infrastructure for
Sudan's national justice systems. Doing so would ensure future stability in Sudan while preserving its national sovereignty. Pakistan has
recently voted along with all the other members of the security council resolution 2791 (2025) that shares our concerns for the atrocities
committed and mandates the Panel of Experts until October of 2026 and affirms sanctions until September of 2026.
Pakistan stands with the people of South Sudan and hopes for its peace and development. That is why Pakistan is concerned regarding the slow progress of developing a clear plan for unification of forces, transitional security arrangements, and constitution making. Pakistan is as well deeply concerned over the humanitarian situation that is leaving millions vulnerable. Pakistan endorses the African Union's calls for session of hostilities and de-escalation in order to return to a state of dialogue. The arrest of vice president Riek Machar poses serious risks to the revitalized agreement, the same agreement that made meaningful yet fragile progress towards peace. Pakistan calls for the release of the vice president and other SPLMAIO leaders in order to help foster an environment of trust in order to bring about peace. Pakistan praises the UNMISS peacekeepers efforts in peace, stability, and development of South Sudan and expects South Sudan to cooperate with the UIMISS in order to meet these goals. Pakistan as well fully supports the UNISFA mandate and condemned along with all the other council members the actions of the RSF detaining UN peacekeepers. However, peacekeeping efforts have been neglected in recent years by the UN. Pakistan calls on funding gaps for peacekeepers to be bridged. Furthermore, Pakistan calls on civilian protections to be prioritized despite financial strains. In addition, due to increased risk peacekeepers face, attacks on them must be investigated and perpetrators must be held accountable. | |

| Topic: | Threats to International Peace and Security |
| Paper text: | |
| The Islamic Republic of Pakistan expresses deep concern over the escalating hostilities
between Israel and Islamic Republic of Iran, which poses a great threat to both regional and
international peace. The ongoing airstrikes, assassinations, and retaliatory missile attacks
risk creating a broader conflict across the Middle East, destabilizing an already fragile region.
Pakistan emphasizes that the Israeli airstrike against the Iranian consulate in Syria was a
clear violation of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations as well as the 1963
Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. These attacks undermine international law and
normalize violations of territorial integrity, contrary to the obligations affirmed in General
Assembly Resolution 2625 (1970) on the principle that States should settle their disputes by
peaceful means and ensure that international peace, justice, and security are not
endangered.
Pakistan firmly condemns all acts of aggression and emphasizes that acts of force shall never come before acts of diplomacy between feuding nations. The recent airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities by Israel and the United States endangered civilian lives, violated UN Charter article 2 (4), and violated international law. Furthermore, the deliberate targeting of nuclear installations risks catastrophic humanitarian and environmental consequences and undermines the authority of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The breakdown of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) has exacerbated mistrust and has escalated tensions among regions. Pakistan urges all parties, particularly the United States and Iran, to return to full compliance with the JCPOA, consistent with UN Security Council Resolution 2231 (2015). Pakistan also calling for countries to work together through the UN to restart talks and ensure that nuclear technology is used peacefully. In light of recent developments, Pakistan welcomes the ceasefire between Israel and the Islamic Republic of Iran and emphasizes the necessity of its full implementation and continued observation. The Security Council must reaffirm its primary responsibility under the United Nations Charter to maintain international peace and security, support constructive dialogue between the parties, and strengthen mechanisms for regional de- escalation. Pakistan reiterates that adherence to international law, respect for sovereignty, and the pursuit of diplomacy over force remain essential to preventing renewed hostilities and restoring lasting stability to the Middle East. | |

| Topic: | The Situation in the Sudans |
| Paper text: | |
| Armed conflict has been on the rise globally over the last decade, raising instability, affecting the global economy, causing violence, human rights violations, and massive loss of life. One area of prevalence concerning these issues are the Sudans, where the conflict is threefold. Sudan has been in a state of turmoil since 2018 when protests began that would eventually cause the military to oust President Omar al-Bashir after deadly clashes with civilians. Now, the military that was working toward overturning the government to the civilians after elections, has fragmented into a power dispute, leading to more conflict. South Sudan has been struggling to reunite after gaining independence in 2011 and the deadly civil war beginning in 2013. While the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) Has made strides in bringing the opposing sides together between peace talks and elections agreements, those have been plagued by fallouts and delays. Agreements have been made to split the oil revenue of the disputed Abyei region between the two Member States, however, the territorial dispute has left factions fighting within the region ever since. These conflicts have combined to leave hundreds of thousands dead in their wake. Over 10 million refugees have fled to neighboring Member States, further burdening Members within the region already dealing with the fallout of other local conflicts, with an additional 14 million internally displaced. According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), both Member States are experiencing Phase 5 famine, the worst measure possible. While significant efforts have been made by the United Nations, regional partners, and global leaders, they have largely failed or turned into momentary pauses in conflict. South Sudan and the region of Abyei have been receptive to outside intervention attempts, while Sudan has asserted its sovereignty and largely denied any external influence. The United Nations Interim Security Force in Abyei (UNISFA) has deployed thousands of troops and aid workers to the region to provide much needed stability, but they have been met with violent attacks by the warring factions. UNMISS has deployed over thirteen thousand peacekeeping troops, as well as many personnel to provide aid and assistance in transitioning the government. This had been bolstered by the Tumaini Peace Talks, hosted by neighboring Kenya and supported by the African Union (AU) until the growing conflict caused South Sudan to back out of the agreement completely. While Sudan may not be receptive to outside influence, attempts have still been made such as the Quad Initiative, led by the Member States Egypt, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and the United States. This was a roadmap to a transition to a civilian government with a cease- fire that was supported by the AU and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), a regional trade block that Sudan is part of. Panama calls for continued support and expansion of UNMISS, UNISFA, and continued offer of assistance toward Sudan. Panama is also in support of joint peace talks hosted by regional partners in line with the Tumaini Peace Talks, in order to address their internal conflicts, and a referendum should be held in the Abyei region to minimize the chance of it becoming a source of conflict for the two Member States during potential ceasefires and provide further stability to both. | |
| Country: | Panama |
| Topic: | I. The Situation in the Middle East, Including the Palestinian Question |
| Paper text: | |
| Panama is alarmed by the over 65,000 deaths caused by ongoing conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas. Panama is highly concerned about the disproportionate number of women and children impacted by the War in Gaza following Hamasâ attack on the Israeli government on 7 October 2023. Gender-based atrocities and sexual violence have significantly increased since Hamasâ attack on the Israeli government. According to UNICEF, nearly one million women and girls have been displaced, many multiple times, throughout the conflict. Additionally, Panama recognizes the pain and suffering inflicted onto Jewish families and hostages and stands in solidarity with the Israeli people. Panama stresses the importance of international dialogue and collaboration, such as the 2025 High-Level International Conference to discuss the New York Declaration and the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution, to foster international cohesion and consensus in the face of such grave security issues. Panama strongly condemns Hamas and reaffirms Israelâs right to a Jewish state. Panama reaffirms Security Council Resolution 2735 (2024) that calls for the immediate release of hostages, preventing hostilities, and withdrawal of forces in Gaza to allow for reconstruction in the city. Panama believes in two key solutions to address the Palestinian Question. First, Panama argues that the disarmament of Hamas and exclusion in global governance is a prerequisite to promoting peace in the region. Second, Panama believes in the safe and peaceful implementation of a Two-State Solution, taking great care to protect the right to a Jewish state. Panama reminds the international community that cooperation is necessary to adequately address the Situation in the Middle East. | |
| Country: | Panama |
| Topic: | Haitian Crisis |
| Paper text: | |
| Panama attributes the Haitian Crisis to the gang coalition Viv Asanm that has infringed on Haitians human rights and safety and have forced 1.3 million Haitians to flee the country. Armed gangs control nearly 90% of the neighborhoods in Haiti. Panama believes the Haitian Crisis is severely overlooked. The Haiti Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan estimated that 6 million Haitians require humanitarian aid in 2025. Merely 12% of the USD $908 million financial burden set out by the plan has been collected, making the Haitian Crisis the least- funded humanitarian appeal worldwide. Panama remains especially concerned about the disproportionate impacts on women and children. Sexual violence, including gang rape, remains a malicious tool often deployed by the armed gangs occupying Haiti. According to the Report of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, 1.2 million Haitian children are under constant threat of armed violence. Viv Asanmâs rampant violence has caused Haiti to rank amongst the top five countries with the most violations against children in 2024. The UN verified 2,269 such violations against 1,373 Hatian children, a five-time increase from 2023. Armed gangs utilize extortion, sexual violence, and kidnapping to recruit children into gangs. Upwards of 50% of gang members are currently children who were recently forcefully recruited by threats on violence, extortion, or rape. Panama is alarmed by the numerous dire security issues impacting the daily lives of Haitians. Panama applauds the valiant efforts of The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), The United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), and UNICE, respectively. Panama also strongly affirms Security Council Resolution 2793 (2025), which Panama co-authored, that authorizes a new multinational Gang Suppression Force (GSF) and invites Member States to collaborate with the Haitian National Police and Armed Forces to conduct counter-gang operations to isolate and neutralize gangs that continues to threaten and target civilian populations in Haiti. Panama fully supports fellow Latin American Member State, Haiti, in their continued efforts to address armed violence in the country and encourages regional partners to continue their efforts in supporting Haiti. Panama believes in a two-pronged strategy to address the issue. First, Panama strongly encourages Member States to make conscious efforts to close the detrimental humanitarian funding gap. Second, Panama urges Member States to continue supporting the newly established GSF and recognizes the crucial need for political stability and elections to reestablish continuous security in Haiti. | |

| Topic: | The Situation in the Sudan |
| Paper text: | |
| The Sudanese civil war, ongoing since April 2023, represents a significant challenge to stability in Africa and the broader international community. The Russian Federation is deeply concerned by intensifying conflict in the states of Darfur, Gezirah, Khartoum, and Kordofan, which has led to widespread displacement, humanitarian crises, and regional instability throughout the Horn of Africa. The ripple effects of the conflict threaten trade routes, maritime security, and development prospects along the Red Sea, a critical geopolitical region. Russia has maintained diplomatic relations with Sudan since 1956, and it holds the preservation of Sudanese sovereignty and territorial integrity as paramount values.
The Russian Federation has actively supported Sudan through humanitarian aid, including food, medical supplies, and technical assistance, to alleviate the suffering of affected populations while respecting the national sovereignty of Sudan. Russia has also pursued strategic partnerships to promote stability in the region. Since 2020, Russia has collaborated with Sudan to enhance maritime security along the Red Sea through joint funding for regional security initiatives and the establishment of a Russian naval logistics facility in Port Sudan. This facility strengthens regional counterterrorism efforts and secures vital trade routes. Additionally, Russia has dispatched multiple high-level delegations to Port Sudan to engage with the Sovereignty Council, reaffirming its commitment to Sudanâs stability and exploring avenues for peaceful conflict resolution. The Russian Federation firmly opposes unilateral interventions or external frameworks that undermine state sovereignty. The complexity of the Sudanese civil war, rooted in historical, ethnic, and resource-based tensions, necessitates a Sudanese-led approach to peace. Russia calls on member states to support inclusive dialogue facilitated by regional organizations, such as the African Union (AU) and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD). By aligning with international law and existing multilateral frameworks, the international community can empower Sudan to chart its own course to peace, ensuring a future free from conflict and external imposition. | |
| Country: | Russian Federation |
| Topic: | The Situation in the Middle East, Including the Palestinian Question |
| Paper text: | |
| The Russian Federation views the persistent instability in the Middle East, particularly the unresolved Palestinian question, as an existential threat to global peace and security. The ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, in addition to broader regional tensions involving Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, and Iran, undermines prospects for sustainable development in the Middle East, which represents a critical geopolitical locus. Russia reaffirms its commitment to achieving a legally binding and enduring resolution to the Palestinian question, while urging member states to support a comprehensive regional dialogue aimed at de-escalation and the prevention of further conflict across the Middle East.
The Russian Federation has consistently played a constructive role in Middle East peace efforts, maintaining diplomatic relations with Israel, Palestine, Syria, and Iran. Russia has hosted factional talks between Fatah and Hamas in Moscow to foster intra-Palestinian reconciliation, provided humanitarian aid to Gaza through UNRWA and bilateral channels, and proposed an international peace conference in 2025 to advance multilateral negotiations utilizing the framework set by the Quartet on the Middle East. The Russian Federation reiterates its support for a two-state solution, including a sovereign Palestinian state within the 1967 borders that recognizes East Jerusalem as its capital. In accordance with General Assembly Resolution 181 (1947), Security Council Resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), and 1515 (2003), and the Madrid Principles and the Arab Peace Initiative, Russia underscores the importance of a solution negotiated directly between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, grounded in existing UN mechanisms. A binding solution must include the immediate cessation of all illegal settlement activities, protection of unimpeded access to holy sites in East Jerusalem, and increased international efforts for humanitarian aid and reconstruction in Gaza and the West Bank. Russia calls upon members to unite in upholding international law and fostering inclusive multilateral dialogues, ensuring the Palestinian right to self-determination and long-term regional stability throughout the Middle East. | |
| Country: | Russian Federation |
| Topic: | Threats to International Peace and Security |
| Paper text: | |
| The Russian Federation remains deeply disturbed by escalating conflicts in the Middle East, particularly the ongoing hostilities between Israel and Palestine and evolving tensions with Iran. These conflicts, intensified since late 2023, threaten global stability and risk catastrophic consequences, including the potential for nuclear escalation. Russia is committed to fostering peace, upholding international law, and promoting regional stability through diplomacy, humanitarian support, and multilateral cooperation.
The Russian Federation is determined to end all aggressions and promote peace regarding the current situation between Israel and Palestine. Russia has engaged in recurring dialogues with Middle Eastern leaders to mediate tensions, avoiding direct military involvement to prevent any nuclear catastrophe, as illustrated by Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov earlier this year. In 2025, President Putin personally engaged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, offering to mediate to de-escalate tensions. Russia has also been instrumental in providing humanitarian aid, as well as technology for nuclear safety, while balancing respect for national sovereignty. Despite these efforts, the Iranian nuclear program remains a critical issue. The Russian Federation urges an immediate and unconditional ceasefire to stop all airstrikes and missile exchanges and calls for accelerated negotiations to restore the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Russia further highlights the importance of enforcing international law and endorses an investigation to assess damage to Iranian nuclear facilities led by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Using a multi-faceted plan ensures a solution rich and diverse, but also effective that can be relied upon for future generations. Additionally, Russia endorses a two-state solution for Israel-Palestine and proposes a UN-led international conference with the P5, regional powers, and the League of Arab States to address arms proliferation, terrorism, and energy security, ensuring a comprehensive and enduring solution for future generations. | |
| Country: | Sierra Leone |
| Topic: | The Situation in the Sudans |
| Paper text: | |
| When looking at the current position of Sierra Leone on the situation of the Sudans, we argue
for the pro-humanitarian route of aid. We fully back Security Council Resolution 1591â a
resolution to resolve the situation in between Sudan and South Sudan. In it, we reaffirmed our
commitment to lasting peace in the Sudans by stressing the urgency of securing an immediate
end to the current conflict, calling for the prioritization of dialogue between the major factions to
resolve their ideological differences, and protect the respect of civilians. We have advocated for
in the past and continue to advocate for the need for increased humanitarian access, but with
coordination with the Sudanese government. We ask for a stronger United Nations position
against external actors who are fueling the conflict; primarily those out of compliance with the
arms embargo from the UN. We also advocate for the need for a strongly coordinated
negotiation and mediation process with central roles from both the African Union and the
United Nations. We are strongly in favor of Security Council action that ensures that South
Sudan continues to have the assistance it needs to prepare for the elections while addressing
other challenges facing the country. Our position is that we, as the United Nations, should do
whatever we can to make sure that the Sudanese people have their fair, democratic election.
Our priorities are in the peace and the well-being of people in the region, while also not allowing
dictators to be put in charge.

| Country: | Sierra Leone |
| Topic: | The Situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian Question |
| Paper text: | |
| Sierra Leone unequivocally condemns the brutal terror attack of October 7, 2023, which claimed
1,200 lives and seized 251 hostagesâgrave breaches shattering Israel's peace. Yet Israel's
retaliation has ignited a firestorm, clamping a merciless siege on Gaza's 2 million souls,
unraveling their right to exist in a humanitarian abyss of starvation, displacement, and relentless
bombardment. As a majority-Muslim nation, Sierra Leone decries this systematic oppressionâ
withholding water, fuel, food, and medicine, targeting aid workersâas bearing the hallmark of
genocide.
Sierra Leone prioritizes two key points. First, the man-made famine crushing Gaza: by
September 2025, 2.1 million face acute food insecurity, with Israel blocking 100,000 metric
tonnes of aid, dwindling World Food Programme reserves to two weeks. This defies UN Security
Council Resolution 2720 (2023) and U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres' March 18, 2024,
warning of imminent famine for 1.1 millionâa crisis now confirmed. Second, Israel's defiance of
International Court of Justice orders (January 26, March 28, May 24, 2024) to halt Rafah
operations and enable relief, eroding global order amid 1.9 million displaced and West Bank
ethnic cleansing.
Sierra Leone demands an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, unfettered aid access via all
crossings, unconditional hostage and detainee release, and International Criminal Court
accountability. We support arms transfer restrictions to halt atrocity crimes and reinvigorated
two-state pursuit per the Arab Peace Initiative. The international community must enforce these
under Chapter VII of the UN Charter. As Ambassador Michael Imran Kanu declared at the UNSC
on August 27, 2025: inaction is complicity. Peace cannot rise from genocide's ashesâit demands
restoring dignity to a people on the brink.

| Topic: | Threats to International Peace and Security |
| Paper text: | |
| In contemporary times, the world is witnessing a significant increase in international conflict.
With the subject of the Israel-Palestine conflict, Secretary General António Guterres warns the
UN about how this will influence more international disputes. That was from 2023; now, in
2025, issues are rampant. Now the UN is facing concerns with Iran, Israel, and the United
States, while at the same time, it is still dealing with the Israel-Palestine conflict. This rise in
conflict has resulted in unstable international peace and security. The role of the UN Security
Council is to promote and advocate for World Peace. Mentioned in General Assembly
resolution 39/11, the UN declared peopleâs rights to peace. Going forward, we must continue
to promote policies and resolutions that work towards this goal. The current conflict with
Israel and Palestine has resulted in political violence, with two assassinations of leaders of
Hamas and Hezbollah. Israel also launched an attack on Iran's Nuclear Base in late April of
2024. The Iran Nuclear Deal outlines their ability to build nuclear weapons. In June of 2025,
the United States would announce that it had dropped bombs on Iranâs nuclear base, joining
Israel, because they claimed they were too close to producing nuclear weapons, which was
stated in S/2025/426. Going forward, the Security Council needs to address these actions and
put a stop to the violence, if we plan to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development, which specifically calls for peace. Sierra Leone has experienced violence
through terrorism and will not stand for any act. We call for the UN and the Security Council
to take action and put an end to international conflict. Sierra Leone stands for the
disarmament of nuclear weapons, as we feel it will continue unnecessary conflict. We remind
member states of A/RES/71/258, Taking forward multilateral nuclear disarmament
negotiations, which calls for the total disarmament of nuclear weapons to achieve a nuclear-
free world. This will allow for an outline to achieve world peace. Sierra Leone feels that itâs
important to discuss these topics because we want to ensure that actual progress is being
made to achieve world peace. We are fully confident with the fact we wonât achieve this
without the proper cooperation with other member states on this topic. Sierra Leone will
participate and cooperate with other member states to sponsor and create resolutions to end
issues of unnecessary violence and work to promote the end of international conflict and the
start of world peace.

| Country: | Slovenia |
| Topic: | The Situation in Ukraine |
| Paper text: | |
| More than three years after its onset, the full-scale conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine remains as one of the most tragic episodes of European history in recent times. The continued fighting over Ukrainian land has created a humanitarian catastrophe with thousands of military and civilian casualties, as well as millions of displaced people who have sought refuge abroad. The Security Council, in accordance with the principal purpose of the United Nations to maintain international peace and security, has attempted to find common ground in which to build a long-lasting peace. These efforts had been undermined by a lack of consensus among its permanent members which had prevented the successful passing of any resolution. However, the recently passed resolution 2774 (2025), mourning the tragic loss of life and urging for a swift end to the conflict, has proven that it is possible for the Security Council to find common ground on this issue. Slovenia recognizes this resolution as an important milestone and urge the Security Council to build upon this success, taking further steps to secure a possible ceasefire. We will as such support any efforts by the Security Council to swiftly achieve long-term peace that are based on international law and include Ukraine as an equal partner in negotiations. We furthermore believe that the Security Council needs to take measures to ensure the deescalation of the conflict, especially by urging the parties to put an end to all attacks on the civilian population and infrastructure. With these measures we hope the Security Council will lay the ground for ending this humanitarian crisis and bringing long-lasting peace to the region. | |
| Country: | Slovenia |
| Topic: | The Situation in the Middle East, Including the Palestinian Question |
| Paper text: | |
| Since October 7th, 2023, the conflict between Israel and Hamas has intensified into one of
the most devastating crises in recent years. On that day, Hamas launched a large-scale
attack on Israel, killing around 1,400 people and taking 251 hostages. In response, the
Israeli government declared war on Hamas, leading to continuous bombardments across
Gaza, including major cities such as Gaza City, Khan Younis, and Rafah. The UN Security
Council has held multiple emergency meetings, though several proposed resolutions have
been blocked by vetoes. The UN Human Rights Council continues to advocate for a
ceasefire and greater humanitarian access.
Slovenia has consistently called for peace, humanitarian access, and respect for international law. In line with this stance, Slovenia seeks a resolution that promotes a two- state solution, emphasizes compliance with international humanitarian law, and ensures accountability for violations on both sides. Through these efforts, Slovenia aims to contribute to a balanced and diplomatic approach to ending the violence and restoring stability in the region. Since recognizing Palestinian statehood in June of last year, Slovenia has taken meaningful diplomatic steps toward peace. The very next day, our Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs sent a note verbale to the Ambassador of Palestine, formally establishing diplomatic relations between our two states. Equally important, we have worked on draft resolution S/2025/353, which had a humanitarian focus, and worked closely with other nations to draft, co-sponsor, and pass resolution 2728 demanding for cease-fire, the release of hostages, and the lifting of barriers on humanitarian aid also voted in favor of resolution 2735. We remain committed to ending the war and emphasize that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) continues to be the central pillar of humanitarian aid in Gaza. Slovenia has also provided nearly â¬6 million in assistance to Palestine through international humanitarian organizations, reflecting our dedication to peace. | |

| Country: | Somalia |
| Topic: | The Russia-Ukraine War |
| Paper text: | |
| The Federal Republic of Somalia wholly asserts that the core principles of state sovereignty, collective security, and territorial integrity are upheld when the United Nations -- and subsequently, this Security Council -- prioritizes their preservation. Since 2022, the current state and ongoing progressions of Russiaâs war in Ukraine have remained a central, formative issue within the United Nations Security Council, as Russiaâs conduct in this conflict threatens the validity of these core principles. The Federal Republic of Somalia is wholly committed to upholding the principles of collective security and peace, and to the call for cessation of Russian action in Ukrainian territory -- evident, in Somaliaâs support of UN General Assembly Resolution ES-11/1 (2022): âAggression against Ukraine,â in which Somalia was among 141 other countries to censure the progression of the war, and to advocate for an expeditious withdrawal of Russian troops. The preservation of collective security and territorial integrity, within the international body, relies on the Security Council to uphold its rightful applications and to ensure accountability across Member States. As a Member State that has experienced years of external impediments to internal stability and sovereignty, the Federal Republic of Somalia enthuses the immense significance of the rightful application of international law -- to protect internal, state sovereignty and to ensure collective, international security. In light of these principles, the Federal Republic of Somalia implores this body to unite and reaffirm the principal, foundational tenets of sovereignty for Ukraine, to call for unimpeded humanitarian protections for citizens within Ukraine, and to earnestly urge the Security Council to push for mediation, rather than abide the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine War. | |
| Country: | Somalia |
| Topic: | Israel-Palestine Conflict |
| Paper text: | |
| Historically, the Federal Republic of Somalia has supported the people of Palestine in advocacy and solidarity of their pursuit of self-determination, evident in the support given for Security Council Resolution 2712 (2023), calling for humanitarian cessations in the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, and Resolution 2720 (2023), which advocated for further aid to the people of Gaza. The current escalation of the conflict in Gaza has allowed for immense deprivations for the people of Palestine -- regarding access to food and water, to medicine and treatment, to shelter, and ultimately, to safety. The current state of the Israel-Gaza conflict violates the primary humanitarian principles of the international community and cannot proceed as it has. In efforts to preserve these foundational principles and to protect civilians in Gaza, the Federal Republic of Somalia petitions this body to conclusively call for an immediate ceasefire of military operations in Gaza, to significantly create and foster humanitarian aid resources (food and water deliveries, medical services) for those living in the Gaza strip, and to more critically evaluate and call for the creation of a successful, two- state solution by building parallel with the plan established in Resolution 2334 (2016). | |
| Country: | Somalia |
| Topic: | Nuclear Non-Proliferation |
| Paper text: | |
| The topic of nuclear non-proliferation is one that exists and is perpetually ongoing, as a topic of discussion and resolution within the Security Council, due to the immense impact on collective security, international cooperation, and civilian safety that nuclear weapons can possess when handled incorrectly. The Federal Republic of Somalia recognizes the importance of strengthening non-proliferation principles and the significance of ensuring accountability for nuclear Member States, regarding disarmament obligations, as evident in Somaliaâs vote of favor for Resolution 2231 (2015) and the return to compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). In addition to the importance of non- proliferation, the Federal Republic of Somalia also recognizes the significance of sovereign rights of these Member States to enact and employ peaceful, productive nuclear energy programs. Bearing the cruciality of both non-proliferation principles and state sovereignty in consideration, the Federal Republic of Somalia implores this Security Council to further pursue solutions that acknowledge the inherent complexity of this issue, while ensuring nuclear security in the international body -- such as revitalizing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) to ensure a restoration of compliance with its terms. The Federal Republic of Somalia encourages this council to foster diplomatic re-engagement with the nation-state of Iran, which is currently not in compliance with the JCPOA, to ensure adherence to the principles of non-proliferation while also respecting the sovereignty of each Member State to pursue peaceful and responsible nuclear programs. | |
| Country: | United Kingdom |
| Topic: | Commitment to peace and security around the world |
| Paper text: | |
| The United Kingdom reaffirms its commitment to the principles and purposes of the United
Nations. The Security Council, as an institution, provides for collective action, conflict
resolution, and the preservation of peace and security across the world. As such, the United

engaging in diplomatic dialogue and resolution writing in order to further promote global
peace and security. As a founding member and permanent member of the Security Council,
the United Kingdom is ready to lead and engage in meaningful diplomacy to address
pressing issues.
The United Kingdom continues to extend its support to Ukraine in its defense of sovereignty and territorial integrity and encourages all parties to pursue a just and peaceful resolution to the war and to avoid escalation. Concerning the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, the United Kingdom remains committed to peace, humanitarian relief, the protection of civilians, and the preservation of the cease-fire agreement. In addition, the United Kingdom maintains that a two-state solution may offer a viable path to lasting peace and security. | |

| The United Kingdom is engaged in addressing the ongoing conflict in Sudan, which began in April 2023. The United Kingdom would look favorably upon an immediate and lasting ceasefire that urges both sides of the conflict to engage in meaningful dialogue, to cease violence, and allow humanitarian aid to reach those in need. The United Kingdom continues to provide humanitarian assistance, imposes targeted sanctions on individuals responsible for human rights abuses, and pushes for accountability. Furthermore, the United Kingdom continues to support a peaceful end to the conflict and to safeguard civilians impacted by the crisis. | |

| The United Kingdom expresses growing concern about the actions of the Houthis, particularly regarding their attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea and their role in destabilizing regional security. These attacks threaten global trade routes vital to the UKâs economy and endanger civilian and commercial vessels. The UK is also worried about the humanitarian impact of the Houthisâ ongoing conflict with the internationally recognized Yemeni government, which has deepened one of the worldâs worst humanitarian crises. As a result, the UK supports diplomatic efforts and limited military measures aimed at deterring Houthi aggression while seeking a negotiated political solution to the Yemen conflict. | |
