The citizens of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea are among some of the best-protected citizens in the world. We believe that we are a role model for the protection of our civilians as we have minimal internal conflict. This is not true of other countries, unfortunately. Civilians worldwide must never be exposed to conflict that has the potential to harm them. This takes place in many areas and in many ways.
How can we ensure nations are preventing harm towards civilians? How can we also protect national sovereignty at the same time? A good resolution will address these concerns. The resolution should lay out a comprehensive plan that will take action on those nations who let violence happen to other nations citizens. We must also take international law into consideration when we craft a resolution. Security Council Resolution 2286 is a good start but has proven to be ineffective. Is it our duty to create a resolution that will actually be effective in reducing casualties of civilians.
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea looks forward to working collaboratively to create a solution to this problem that is effective in its actions and respectful and beneficial to many nations.
