From the depths of democracy, one thing that represents all of its founding principles is the aspect of choice in the leader that the people choose. The ability to vote for leaders and the ability to run for leadership is the prime part of democracy that the entire world knows today. However, democracy is threatened today due to leaders with greed and forms of dictatorship in their tactics of leading. Voting has begun losing its meaning in some nations due to unfair and rigged elections, directly stripping away the leader that the people chose through the majority. Nations have been experiencing rigged elections from the deep end for many years. For example, the Turkish general election of 2015 was deemed rigged and was forced to be held again for a second round, which resulted in the victory of a different candidate, directly proving fraudulent activities. As the delegation of Ukraine, we believe we must withhold democracy in every aspect and nation of the world that participates in it. This includes assisting nations that are suspected of fraudulent activities in their elections. A plan needs to be derived from the Committee on Drugs and Crime to regulate a planned process to make sure countries have a fair election. One proposed plan is the aspect of analysis from the UN to determine whether a county’s elections have been subjected to fraud, and then send a group of qualified members to the nation to monitor and supervise an election to make sure equal and fair processes have been registered. The delegation of Ukraine believes that this committee can work together and come up with a subjective and viable plan.
