Position paper for Ecuador
| Committee: | SC-B |
| Topic: | Sudan and South Sudan |
| Paper text: | |
| The current situation in the states of Sudan and South Sudan is not merely current, and has been attributed to long term concerns of stability and democracy from state and non- state actors; the outbreak of violence within the past few years requires immediate attention and interference from international actors to maintain domestic and international cooperation and peace. Ecuador has established diplomatic relations with Sudan and South Sudan, and will continue to maintain these relations to further promote interstate cooperation and globalization. The outbreak of violence and instability in recent years, as well as the reports of physical and sexual violence and threats of human rights and food insecurity does not align with the principles Ecuador promotes. We believe in peaceful and nonviolent international and domestic affairs and express concerns regarding violations of the UN Charter—actions that violate and threaten the dignity, autonomy, and security of individuals in a state. We condemn the usage of violence and terror as means of mobilization to obtain power during the transition of internal changes. Ecuador supports democracy and democratic means to gain domestic and international power; the actions of significant actors within the states infringe on the philosophy of democracy; we support the usage of UN resources to reduce the proliferation of violence to protect not only state and international security, but also the personal liberties and civil rights of citizens. We strongly believe in the safety and human rights of individuals in every aspect of life as granted by the United Nations and state constitutions. We support the United Nations Security Council decision to hold all parties responsible for violence and instability accountable for actions that contravene the rights highlighted by international agreements of peace and prosperity of states and individuals, as stated in resolution 2791 (2025). We especially express deep concern of the physical and sexual violence of the civilians unaffiliated with violent actors, and support decisions to provide aid and resources to impacted civilians. We support the UN decision to place sanctions onto violent actors to prevent further proliferation of violence and instability. | |

| Paper text: | |
| The situation in the Middle East, particularly the ongoing conflict in Gaza, remains one of the most serious challenges to international peace and security. We recognize Israel’s legitimate right to security and call for the immediate release of all hostages taken on 7 October 2023. At the same time, we stress that collective punishment and attacks on civilian infrastructure are incompatible with international law. We support the full implementation of Security Council Resolution 2728 (2024), calling for a humanitarian ceasefire and uninterrupted aid, and recall Resolution 340 (1973), reaffirming the necessity of an immediate ceasefire and the framework of Resolution 242 (1967). The humanitarian situation in Gaza is catastrophic, with tens of thousands killed, massive displacement, and famine conditions reported in parts of the territory. Immediate, large-scale deliveries of water, food, fuel, and medical supplies through all viable routes remain essential to prevent further loss of life. Safe and sustained humanitarian access must be ensured to allow UN agencies such as the World Food Programme and OCHA to deliver assistance effectively. We continue to support a two-State solution, consistent with Resolution 242, as well as our recognition of Palestine along the 1967 borders. We believe in the right of both Israelis and Palestinians to live together in peace, security, and mutual respect. We remain committed to supporting all diplomatic and humanitarian efforts that advance de-escalation, accountability under international law, and the protection of civilians. | |
