Committee: Historical General Assembly
Topic: Iran-Iraq War
Country: Benin
Delegates: Marcell Urena & Charina Betances, George Washington High School
Former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Mary Robinson states “We must understand the role of human rights as empowering of individuals and communities. By protecting these rights, we can help prevent the many conflicts based on poverty, discrimination and exclusion (social, economic and political) that continue to plague humanity and destroy decades of development efforts. The vicious circle of human rights violations that lead to conflicts-which in turn lead to more violations-must be broken”. Although this adage has been repeated constantly through out history, many countries seem to not follow its importance, and instead they have closed their eyes and act indifferent towards it. Ethnic and territorial boundaries, such as those existing in Iraq and Iran, have lead to the extinction of many innocent people and the downfall of a government. Despite the efforts of the United Nations to stop the Iraq and Iran War, it has not been successful, and because of this prolonged war, children, men and women are dying in a daily bases.
In December 1990 the Benin constitution guaranteed that “the fundamental rights of human being and civil rights liberties” were extremely respected and that Benin as an undeveloped country was trying to set an example to the world. In this plan Benin promised to be loyal and fair to human rights, and to try to mediate the situation starting in the country. These laws also applied to local NGO’s all around the world.
Benin has no records of participating in any targets within the country. Every day Benin tries to protect the human race, and to set aside religious differences in order to progress as an independent country. However, Benin also realizes that the United Nations is empowered to use military involvement in a peacekeeping role.
The Republic of Benin believes that in order to stop the Iran-Iraq War, both groups should not base their nationalistic and territorial disagreement on behalf of their religion differences. It seems arbitrary and unreasonable to use religion as a way to annihilate many innocent lives, and any resolution will always bring about a deadlock between the Sunni and the Shia. The only way to find a resolution is to use words instead of weapons.
The Republic of Benin understands that in order to restore the Human race from extinction, nations should not support the usage of nuclear weapons, and that not one but all nations should join and play a positive role in this global catastrophe. This includes the stoppage of military equipment to nations whom are at the brink of war, and the dismantling of all nuclear missiles worldwide. Nations including the Big five, the Republic of China, Soviet Union, United Kingdom, United States and France should also play a role in this treaty. At the end these procedures will bring about a positive role in all nations, and therefore no one would be justified for using weapons of human destruction.
Benin asks the International Community to recognize the hardships of nuclear weaponry, and to put an end to the deaths of innocent lives, because religion should not be a reason to join warfare, and neither should be the ownership of waterways. Let’s give Nature itself that right, and not put everything in the hands of men.
