Topic : No First Use Policies and Nuclear Disarmament
The nation of Guyana holds a strong position against nuclear weapons. Particularly the first use policy of the few nuclear power nations. The humanitarian and consequential issues that would come from the use of nuclear weapons in warfare would be unimaginable. Millions would die, infrastructures would collapse, and it would be detrimental to the world as a whole. This is why the nation of Guyana has been a committed supporter of the Treaty of the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), considering how it was first to ratify it. The elimination of nuclear weapons as a whole is heavily pushed by the nation of Guyana. By disarming nuclear weapons, it could create stable relations among geopolitical negotiations.
By highlighting the humanitarian crisis that would follow a nuclear exchange, Guyana hopes to encourage nuclear powers to work together towards disarmament. By establishing TPNW as a beneficial solution, we can create a strengthened global norm against nuclear weaponizing. Another topic to consider is the reallocation of resources that go into making nuclear weapons. By redirecting the purpose for those technologies to beneficial factors instead of being weapons. By being weapons, it manifests the issue of robbing civilians of receiving useful developments in societies. Nuclear weapons are a looming threat to humanity as a whole. Nuclear energy on the other hand can be beneficial for society.
The nation of Guyana has created support for disarmament and diversion of resources of nuclear weapons. Working with international organizations to achieve these goals. Guyana has supported efforts to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula. Guyana will continue its valiant efforts towards bringing these powers together and reaching a solution to the burden of nuclear weapons and the leftovers from the tense era of the Cold War.
