Cuba: First Main Committee: Prevention of Non-State Actors from Acquiring
Weapons of Mass Destruction
Non-state actors that are currently considered as threats to international
security are the following: terrorism, which is the use of violence and intimidation in
the pursuit of political aims, espionage, the practice of spying, proliferation, the
rapid increase of something, usually nuclear weapons, economic espionage,
knowingly performs targeting or acquisition of trade secrets to knowingly benefit
any foreign government, foreign instrumentality, or foreign agent targeting the
national information infrastructure, and perception management, which are actions
to convey or deny selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to
influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning as well as to intelligence
systems and leaders at all to influence official estimates, ultimately resulting in
foreign behaviors and official actions favorable to the originator’s objectives. The
Republic of Cuba does not participate in any of the threats to international security
listed above.
There are not any state actors that are known nor speculated to provide
weapons of mass destruction to non-state actors. As a government, we support and
trade with other governments, such as Iran, China, India, Algeria, Brazil, Venezuela,
Libya, Syria, North Korea, and Russia. Between these nations, we offer our modern
biotechnology.
There are no areas to any type of resolution that can be further developed or
strengthened when it comes to weapons of mass destruction for our country- for we
do not have any. We use our modern biotechnology to benefit health delivery,
agriculture, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. We Cubans have successfully
developed vaccines for pneumonia, anemia, hepatitis C vaccines and many more. If
anything, the United States needs to be looked at as closely as our allies like Libya
and North Korea are being monitored for weapons of mass destruction.
As far as prevention of weapons of mass destruction internationally, it would
be in the best interest of the individual governments to verify that their own country
is following the requests of the United Nations and the treaties they have signed
before said countries administer false accusations toward other countries. By doing
so, and with overview of the United Nations upon all countries, it is a way for
everyone to be equally regulated without meaningless banter between variegated
countries.
