FORUM: The General Assembly
QUESTION OF: Preventing the acquisition by terrorists of radioactive/biohazardous/chemical sources
SUBMITTED BY: Croatia
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,
Defining CBR sources as chemical/biohazardous/radioactive sources,
Noting that countries in midst of (civil) turmoil that hold radioactive/ biohazardous/chemical sources are vulnerable of terrorist obtaining their radioactive/biohazardous/chemical sources,
Deeply concerned that terrorists groups are able to trade materials easily causing tremendous loss when the terrorist attack other countries,
Deeply disturbed that terrorist organizations are using common social media websites e.g Facebook to trade weapons,
Keeping in mind counts tries are not sharing nearly as much information nearly as much information needed in order to combat the acquisition of materials from terrorists,
Acknowledging that countries that are in the midst of war are being used as a hub for terrorist activity which include the trading of radioactive/biohazardous/chemical sources,
Alarmed that smaller scale explosives such as small explosives are falling into the hands of terrorists groups easily,
Recalling the numerous acts of terrorism that have utilised either chemical or biological materials that have claimed the lives of countless civilians,
Defining non-household resources to make radioactive/biohazardous/chemical sources as materials that are factors of production for goods used for CBRN and are used prominently for activities related to war,
Deeply Concerned by the increase in the development of Chemical/Biological Conventions in the past ten years,
Calls for member states to decrease the risk of resources being used to make radioactive/biohazardous/chemical sources by government institutions or private firms, achieved through the forms of:
requiring permits for access to the resources that are required for the construction of these WMD’s such as, but not limited to:
uranium
plutonium
permits that can only be given if the requests for these materials have:
a signed document by the state and the firm that specifies intended use for these materials
a signed document by the state and the firm that allows the state to observe the progress of the creation of their intended goods
any additional documents that signify proof of the firm’s legitimacy, such as official documentation of taxes;
Urges member states to enact policies similar in goal to reducing availability of chemical or radioactive resources to terrorist organizations through screening markets of these resources to ensure parties like terrorist organisations are unable to participate;
Calls upon Member States to engage in international efforts to stop terrorists from obtaining radioactive, biohazardous, and chemical weapons and their means of delivery by methods such as, but not limited to:
added security for transportation of radioactive/biohazardous/chemical sources, which can be achieved through:
armed escorts that accompany transport
consistent checkpoints throughout the route which check if all materials still exist, with the transport vehicles having to reach each checkpoint at certain times to ensure increased security
tracking surveillance on the vehicles
regular screening of vehicle personnel, including guards, drivers, etc
requesting the United Nations (UN) for peacekeeping services if needed;
Recommends member nations to increase security in ports to prevent terrorists from trading CBR sources by means such as but not limited to :
tightening up security in ports primarily in LEDC countries by means as such but not limited to:
having security cameras that cover areas of ports concerning the transfer of materials,
having security personnel patrolling the port, with full authority on inspecting goods that they determine, or port officials consider as having risk
Setting up port organising systems with methods like:
having seafaring vessels that pass through this port providing detailed accounts about all their transactions at the port, with the aforementioned security personnel confirming the details
dossiers that record all goods that have been traded at the ports
Calls for member nations that are researching and/or are developing biological Substances that have the potential to cause harm to allow UN certified inspectors to monitor their labs and hospitals, and only their labs and hospitals by means such as but not limited to:
heighten security in Labs and hospitals that are researching and or developing biological substances by hiring more guards
inspecting the standard of the technology in the lab/hospital
inspecting the laboratories safety protocols of the (WHO) guidelines in biochemical laboratories;
Strongly requests countries that are developing or in the possession of ‘loose chemicals’ to secure them by means such as requesting member nations/UN peacekeeping services to provide security personnel to protect the loose chemicals;
Calls upon all member states to heighten security in airports to prevent biological substances from being moved to other countries by means such as but not limited to:
further developing x-rays in airports to detect biological substances
provide the wearable sensor rings to security personnel in the airport;
Encourages all member states to fund and develop methods to remove the threat of any chemical weapons still existing in countries today, by common methods such as but not limited to:
incineration
neutralization;
Calls upon member states to establish an intergovernmental organisation designed to implement, monitor and enforce the Biological Weapons Convention through means such as but not limited to reviving the Eighteen-Nation Disarmament Committee (ENDC) that incorporates additional member-states and is specifically focused on biological and chemical sources;
Calls for the creation of a new committee under the UN to work closely with the OPCW called: The Association of Chemical Weapons Removal from Organisations (ACWRO), this organization will be granted permission to do the following:
ensuring that all sovereign states uphold the clauses and points in the Chemical Weapons Convention, in order to ensure that the different Schedules are taken into account when producing chemicals
monitoring the amount of chemical substances in the certain Rogue States which have limited industrial uses
monitor the funds sent into the countries which have been reported to house terrorist organisations along with the military expenditure and inventory;
Recommends that all nations are yet to sign the BWC, to ratify the Bacteriological and Toxins Weapons Convention (BWC);
Authorises the ACWRO to conduct inspections for chemical/biological weapons and development in the countries reported to house terrorists , the ACWRO officials will be accompanied by UN peacekeeping officers in order to ensure the safety of the ACWRO officials;
Urges all nations to ban the production of Schedule 1 chemicals unless specifically authorised by the Security Council.;
