//Disarmament Committee// Alarmed by the fact that in all wars civillian die,

Urges that all countries give away all weapons of mass destruction, 1. by signing a treaty that establishes that A. the production of mass destruction weapons should be immediatly ended B. that all the existing weapons should be disarmed and or destroyed.

EDIT by Lorenzo: WHAT!?!? You are saying that all weapons of mass destruction should be disarmed or destroyed. Let me point out to you why that is not going to work: a) Only the Security Council can authorize measures such as these, so at most you can recommend to the Security Council, b) The Security Council has five (5) permanent members, with veto power. They are: USA, Russia, China, UK and France. They ALL have nuclear weapons. They all have a strategic advantage caused by having weapons of mass destruction (deterrent, mutually assured destruction, prestige, military reserve, etc). None of them is going to give up their nuclear program. c) Russia, for one, has 15000 nukes (which were very expensive to build). Do you really think that they are willing to throw them away? d) Everyone has a Great Power (read: Security Council permanent member), at least, as an ally. They want to keep them as allies and will vote the way they vote. I am sorry I'm bashing you, but this is never EVER going to work. Besides, this has nothing to do with any of the topics in the Committee.

Alarmed by the fact that child soldiers develop xenophobia because of the military training that they receive,

1. Urges member states to stop training child soldiers. a. by making a law that establishes that all the peolple without medical problems such as handicaps, from age 18 to 20 must have a military training , b. by recalling former trained soldiers to join the army in case of war, Ask for advises (//**Alberto**)//

EDIT by Lorenzo: This is also a naive and overly simplistic solution. In MUN, you have to be realistic. I'll point out to you what are the problems: a) I'm not sure you understand what xenophobia is. I'll explain it to you: xenophobia is the fear and hatred of strangers. Soldiers, even child soldiers, do not necessarily fear and hate strangers. People start hating and fearing strangers when they grow up in a nationalist state, or if there is a lot of discrimination where they live. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with child soldiers. Yes, of course, child soldiers are a big problem, but it is NOT what is being discussed at the conference. b) "Urges member states to stop training child soldiers" is NOT a realistic solution. Child soldiers are rarely, if ever, used by government forces, who follow UN rules and international law. On the other hand, child soldiers are used by militias and rebel groups. These do not follow the UN and international law, so you should target them, and not governments. c) Everyone does what you suggest in a. except for countries with voluntary military service. In that case it would be a step back rather than a step forward. It also has nothing to do with child soldiers and much less with xenophobia. d) EVERYONE does what you say in b. No exceptions. Also has nothing to do with child soldiers or xenophobia, but rather army management.
