The country of Saudi Arabia recognizes that corruption is a problem that no country is safe from. Therefor Saudi Arabia recognizes that the Special Political committee must act swiftly and quickly in making sure that governments are a lot more transparent with their spending. Obviously the Carwash scandal being one of the biggest scandals at this time. Saudi Arabia also recognizes that corruption can occur at local, and national governments, therefor Saudi Arabia believes it important that if a resolution is passed it should include guidelines for all forms of government. Saudi Arabia hopes that all countries can come to an agreement that respects a nations sovereignty, while also being decisive. However Saudi Arabia also recognizes that countries have a right to rule themselves and the United Nations, specifically SpecPol committee should not impose on that rule and that the United Nations must respect a countries sovereignty as well as be aware that some problems within a nation are entirely domestic and thus, can not be dealt with through the United Nations in any capacity. Saudi Arabia hopes that other countries keep this in mind when they are writing their resolutions. Countries should also keep in mind that Saudi Arabia will refuse to support a resolution that Saudi Arabia believes imposes on a nations right to rule and sovereignty.
