Topic: Proliferation of Ballistic Missiles
The People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria has very strong views on the proliferation of ballistic missiles. Viewing through the lens of our deep history and struggle against colonial rule, we strive to protect our sovereignty, regional security, and Multinationalism. As a member of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), Algeria has consistently opposed discriminatory disarmament frameworks that have been imposed on developing nations, such as the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), which are non-binding and allow major powers to retain their own missile capabilities.
Regarding the proliferation of ballistic missiles, Algeria fully supports the proliferation of ALL nuclear arms by signing and ratifying the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), the Pelindaba Treaty, the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), and the signing of theTreaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).
Algeria recognizes the legitimate security concerns of sovereign states, especially those facing regional instability, terrorism, and external interference, believing conventional ballistic weapons have their place in modern conflict zones with the intent to protect sovereignty and regional stability, but we are not ignorant of the fact that unchecked proliferation poses a serious threat to international and regional security.
While there have been intergovernmental actions to combat this, such as the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), this act does not demonstrate effective diplomacy due to its outdated nature and its failure to be signed by most of the UN. Therefore, there must be a new treaty that aims to be more inclusive, transparent, and have a non-discriminatory framework that also respects national sovereignty and the right to self-determination, that is enforceable,e and avoids the undermining of developing nations.
