The Korean Peninsula
The Korean Peninsula has been in a state of intense turmoil for years; Civil wars that are never-ending, uneasy alliances, and secret nuclear tests. The Korean Peninsula has not been a very stable place for a long time. Divided and uneasy all of Korea is waiting in the wings for a sign of what the future holds. Pakistan believes that it is the duty of the United Nations to make sure that the future that comes to millions of Koreans is not full of the despair and uncertainty that plagues them now. The beginning step towards this ultimate goal is to enforce non-proliferation in all of Korea and especially in the Korean Peninsula.
Nuclear weapons, ever since their creation, have been a source of conflict and controversy throughout the world. It is dangerous for any one country to hold them, and it is even more so when the technology is kept secret and unregulated by international safety constraints. Nuclear technology as a source of energy and alternate power is acceptable when supervised and regulated by United Nations or other international organization officials, but nuclear technology in the hands of such and unstable government is highly dangerous and not at all conducive to the safety and well-being of the world as a whole.
Pakistan maintains that it’s own nuclear technology is imperative to it’s economy and security. Pakistan is only interested in building a stronger future for all affiliated groups and member states involved in the Untied Nations. The Korean Peninsula is just the beginning of a long campaign to rid the world of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are not necessary nor are they working towards any kind of future with peace among the different sections of Korea.
Pakistan believes that non-proliferation is the only option that stands full force in favor of a peaceful and more unified Korea. Nuclear weapons are only detrimental to the social, economic, and security interests of the Korean Peninsula.
