Brett Abbott Mexico DISEC GA Topic 1: Combating Global Piracy Although Mexico is not personally affected by this issue, the growing problem of global arms piracy poses a threat to us all. Not only are there militaristic repercussions of losing high powered weapons to pirated cells, our growing economy is also suffering from major trade deficits due to lost products. Current counter piracy measures are lax, as piracy is a relatively obsolete problem in the western hemisphere, we stand in solidarity with our trade partners in asia and Europe that are greatly affected by this problem. Mexico proposes an increase in UN Peacekeeping forces patrolling highly concentrated areas of piracy, such as the east horn of Africa. In addition, adding armed military personnel to valuable or high profile weapons will deter piracy. These measures will ensure that the waters are safe for the entire world, and will help to insure that weapons will not fall into the wrong hands. Topic 2: Sustainable Demilitarization of Space The growing military culture in space is a paramount concern to all of us. The space program of Russia, however, is the most disturbing to the global community. Its reckless violations of international law lead many to believe that they will be the first to break the Outer Space Treaty. If nations begin launching satellites for military use, then the results will be catastrophic, anywhere from laser and nuclear warfare to hacking banks and national security mainframes. An updated treaty, complete with more frequent checks on programs and an oversight committee, is necessary to the safety of space and the earth. Currently, aggressors such as Russia, China, and the United States possess the nuclear capability to wipe out humanity, and the space technology to put nuclear warheads in space. Peaceful negotiations are necessary to ensure the de-escalation of countries nuclear proliferation. Space has helped move science further and has benefited humankind, and it is imperative that space stays that way. Topic 3: Private Military Companies In Mexico, we have seen a great rise in private military and security companies, and this has been a growing continuity around the world. These companies are good in the sense that developing and struggling countries in providing them with a military force, but can be dangerous if they are not monitored closely. The delegation of Mexico believes in stricter regulations being put on these PMC’s, allowing total government oversight of these private companies. Mexico believes a stronger set of regulations be approved and put into effect in order to regulate the PMC’s. These PMC’s, however, must be localized from the country they are hired by. It is a show of power by powerful countries to sell their own PMC’s to corrupt countries under the table. Their influence and secret control of countries is felt by the citizens, and these companies often aid in the large scale corruption of many third world countries.
