6 {looking for solutions} POR: STEPHANIE FEHRMANN - CONSEJO DE SEGURIDAD It was necessary for the delegates of the Security Council to start working on their Working Papers in order to give a definite and proper ending and solution to the topic of Global Surveillance Disclosure. Both working papers were good but when the time came to make a decision, with six votes in favor winning over the two against and two abstentions, the USA and UK’s working paper was approved. Moving on with the agenda that was prepared for today, soon came the time for the Security Council to debate the topic related to the Arctic Militarization. This situation is a result of the phenomenon of the global warming. The arctic happens to contain approximately 20% to 25% of oil and gas as well as one of the largest fresh water tanks. It is no wonder why many countries want to claim and monopolize this area. The Security Council, delegates must seek for a solution in order to maintain the global stability and prevent the unleashing of a possible international war; delegates seem to have clear roles as a part of this committee. As for the debate of the topic the delegates have contributed a lot for its proper flow by expressing some fairly good points of view and some amazingly good interventions. Delegations of Russia, United States of America, United Kingdom and China have been engaged in a pretty heated debate once again. Once again, the delegates of the Security Council have indeed prepared for the debate and they also seem to be prepared to confront any other situation that comes in their way. The Arctic Militarization is a topic that needs to be treated carefully and with the best team if possible; it won’t be easy getting to an agreement since it is very controversial but it will be an amazing journey to see the delegates come up with agreements and finally get to a viable solution for such a tremendous issue. Once again delegates from the Security Council has made an amazingly good job treating topics as delicate as this. We’ll be waiting anxiously to see what solution they give to this topic.
