 In 2026 - Proliferation of Ballistic Missiles

Topic: 2026 – Proliferation of Ballistic Missiles
Country: Denmark
Delegate Name: Elouise Kampfschulte-Geary

Committee: Disarmament & International Security Committee
Topic: Proliferation of Ballistic Missiles
Country: Denmark
Delegate name: Elouise Kampfschulte-Geary

The Delegation of Denmark stresses the opposition that Denmark holds against proliferation of ballistic missiles and other such large scale missiles. Denmark hopes for a world without need for large scale arms in the future, and intends to take internal steps to achieve this goal, and strongly encourages other States to do so as well.

Denmark believes that large scale missile launches are a major threat to international security, especially those done by North Korea, and those done by Russia against Ukraine. Denmark supports the Hague Code of Conduct against Ballistic Missile Proliferation (HCoC), meaning the Delegation of Denmark advocates for strict international controls, regulations, and laws against the use and possession of ballistic missiles. Along with supporting HCoC, Denmark works through the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) so as to prevent any spread of missile technology.

Denmark strongly opposes any use of ballistic missiles and other large scale missiles, and wishes to move forward with caution regarding the use and possession of them, with hopes that it will be extremely limited, or prohibited entirely. Denmark prioritizes national security, and views such arms as an imposing threat onto not only Danish safety, but global safety as well.
