Topic: 2026 – Proliferation of Ballistic Missiles
Country: Sudan
Delegate Name: Anna Behrens
Ever since the V-2 missile was used at the end of World War II the threat of ballistic missiles has caused anxiety amongst the nations. What if a nation without ballistic missiles goes to war with a nation that does? What if two nations with ballistic missiles go to war? What happens if allies get involved in that conflict? What if war becomes the subject of ballistic missiles? These are questions that nations have pondered since news of the first ballistic missile launch. But the question Sudan finds most important is; How do we solve the problems that ballistic missiles create and how do the nations do this effectively? In past years the United Nations have created resolutions such as the Missile Technology Control Regime and the Hague Code of Conduct Against Ballistic Missile Proliferation. These papers have introduced discussion over transparency and controlling rapid construction of ballistic weapons. The topic of ballistic weapons is one that concerns all nations. No matter if they hold these weapons in their arsenal or not. No matter a nation’s geographic location or foreign policy.
As of now, Sudan does not own any ballistic missiles and does not plan on owning or creating any. Sudan has been accused of using scud missiles that only launch 110 km, but Sudan would like to reaffirm that such rumors are fallacy. In past resolutions, Sudan has felt that they were not equally represented and that those papers favored more powerful nations. Sudan has voted in favor of a resolution related to the Hague Code of Conduct Against Ballistic Missile Proliferation and other proliferation resolutions.
Sudan believes that the MTCR and the Hague Code of Conduct Against Ballistic Missile Proliferation are good starts to the issue that is ballistic missiles. But Sudan would like to advocate for a more binding agreement. Sudan believes that missiles are a threat to developing nations, nations at war, or are dealing with humanitarian crises. Sudan believes that ballistic missiles will only further worsen these problems and therefore regulation of ballistic missiles should be further enforced. Although Sudan believes that MTCR is overall a positive step towards transparency and proliferation of ballistic missiles, like many developing nations Sudan believes the agreement is technology restrictive and dominated by major powers. Therefore, Sudan calls for an agreement that is equal amongst the nations. Sudan suggests that all regions and nations, regardless of their power, development or ballistic missile status should collaborate, so that an agreement is equal amongst the nations and does not favor a certain region, alliance, e.t.c.. In conclusion, Sudan firmly believes in transparency, proliferation, and equality being binding in an agreement.
