Topic: 2026 – Verification of Disarmament
Country: Denmark
Delegate name: Elouise Kampfschulte-Geary
Denmark, along with many other European countries, strives for a world completely free from nuclear weapons. Denmark does not hold any nuclear weapons and pushes for thorough verification of arms, and does so with on-site inspections, remote monitoring, and other technical and collaborative methods. Being one of many States in the UN who do not house any nuclear, chemical, or biological arms, Denmark openly encourages and contributes to maintaining international peace and security, protection of civilians, and the building of trust among States.
Since the end of World War II, Denmark has been committed to developing strategic and stable security systems and regulating weapons deemed as inhumane. Denmark is a member of NATO and IPNDV (International Partnership for Nuclear Disarmament Verification), and prioritizes upholding international law. Denmark’s NATO obligation often results in aligning with countries who do possess nuclear weapons, whom they rely on for security, such as the U.S., who has not signed the TPNW (Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons) initiative and has pressured Denmark into following suit. Although foreign pressure prevents their support for a complete ban over nuclear arms, Denmark still complies with other disarmament initiatives such as GSTE-NDV.
Denmark wishes to uphold international security, law, and trust through a resolution that effectively states verification of disarmament processes and options, unique to each State. Denmark recognizes the rising tension and geopolitical challenges currently. Moving forward, Denmark wishes for a world with compliance and not destruction.
