Topic: 2025 – Responsibility of International Organizations
Country: Democratic Republic of the Congo
Delegate Name: Harini Manikandan
International organizations are a fundamental part of the world, and the Democratic Republic of Congo firmly believes in the importance of these organizations. However, as a nation that has been wrecked by colonialism and bigger powers, it is important to ensure that these organizations remain transparent and have a limit to its powers. These organizations complete important tasks whether it is helping refugees, peacekeeping missions, or providing sustenance, and it is vital that measures of oversight do not deter these actions. The DRC believes in finding a solution where the utilities of these programs are not impacted, but the responsibility of their actions are heightened to ensure the least amount of harm to nations in need.
As a nation that receives both benefits and harms from these international organizations, it is of utmost importance to the Democratic Republic of Congo that the balance of the powers of these groups is controlled. Peacekeeping efforts like the MONUSCO have provided substantial aid to our nation; however, there have been flaws within the programs as well. Many individual peacekeepers have partook in crimes like assault, sexual abuse, and fraud which our nation believes must be addressed in a fast manner. However, for actions that cause harm or destruction committed by the organization as a whole, the Democratic Republic of Congo believes that solutions must be at a more widespread level that take into consideration the impact of the programs as well.
In conclusion, the Democratic Republic of Congo looks forward to finding a solution that will maintain the benefits of the programs and will provide guidelines to them, as well. The DRC first proposes better, more advanced jurisdictions for the legal aspects of prosecuting international organizations. While individuals may be tried in home country legal systems, there must be more guidelines when the problems arise from the organization as a whole. Finally, as a nation affected at a close level, DRC urges more action in the aid of victims and to work on fixing the damage that has already occurred.
