Topic: 2024 Indiscriminate Weapons
Country: United Mexican States
Delegate: Holden Eldridge
Throughout history, we have seen advancements none more prevalent than weapons. From the introduction of muskets to the invention of the machine Gun, the weapons war has been fought with are ever-changing. But, as weapons technology advances so does their deadliness and their ability to kill indiscriminately.
The United Mexican States strongly condemns the use of any Indiscriminate weapons. This includes Chemical, Nuclear, Anti-personal mine, and Cluster munitions.
As an early signatory of the Ottawa Treaty, the United Mexican States strongly condones the use of anti-personal mines and their indiscriminate way of killing the failure of nations to remove these mines once a conflict has ended. Also as a signatory of the CWC, we strongly condone the use of chemical weapons and stockpiling of these weapons. The United Mexican States encourages its fellow nations to dismantle chemical weapons and not to use them during war as their usage is not only inhumane but indiscriminate. Mexico also condemns the use of cluster munitions. This is due to the tendency for the munitions in warheads to not all detonate. We also condone the use of cluster munitions due to the fact that the blast radius of the warhead is quite large and can lead to civilian casulties.
In short, Mexico condones the use of any and all indiscriminate weapons. Due to the inhumane nature of the weapons. And there tendency to kill civilians and non-combat personnel in war zones. The United Mexican States strongly encourages its fellow nations to dismantle said weapons and to put in policies that would require countries to dismantle their weapons. And to require nations to have a limited amount of these weapons and to forbid stockpiling weapons and would require nations to allow the UN to require nations to allow UN inspectors into their country to make sure that stockpiles do not go over a stated limit.
