Policy Paper "The purpose of terrorism is to terrorize. Terrorism is the only way a small country can take on an empire with any hope." Vladimir Lenon State sponsored terrorism has been used as a weapon since the beginning of time even though the concept had not been clearly defined until the late nineteen sixties during the Cold War when America and the former Soviet accused one another of funding certain rebel elements in the Middle East and Eastern Asia to farther their respective interests. The attack on the twin towers in 2001 brought the issue into international light. Observing several terrorist attacks, the international community has concluded that the organizations responsible are state sponsored. Some evidence that gave this away are how they're so well funded and by the decisiveness of their attacks. This problem is especially worrisome in developing nations or nations in turmoil. Sponsoring terrorists is appealing to these nations because these terrorists could be used as a source of protection from threats or to farther their own political agendas. For example Iran is suspected of funding the militant Islamic terror group Hesbulah and Shiite terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The United Nations is very concerned about the problem of state sponsored terrorism. In order to resolve the problem, they have had five conventions to not only outline the definition of terrorism and state sponsored terrorism but the consequences and international actions for the nations that choose to do so. The United Nation has somewhat gone on the offense. For example the Security Cancel has attempted to take international action against suspected sponsors of terrorism such as Libya, Sudan, and Iran. The United Nation also agreed on resolution 1624. This resolution comprises the elements of previous resolutions and conventions to create a more effective resolution with stronger enforcement operatives in order to successfully handle the issue. The United Nations is not the only organization that is trying to quell the threat of terrorism. Several NGOs are also deeply involved in the struggle. For example several regional groups have been ensuring that their governments use diplomacy instead of state sponsored terrorism to achieve their goals. These organizations have also promoted border control and national security so that their respective nations would not resort to state sponsored terrorism. Other NGOs that are not regional such as Amnesty International focuses on rebuilding nations such as Sudan that have been seriously effected by terrorism.

China does not support terrorism in any size, shape, or form. Terrorism is not a means one should resort to. Instead one should try to use diplomacy instead of terrorism. China is willing to do anything necessary to farther the international struggle against terrorism. If we must send aid to the international community, we will send as much aid as we possibly can. For those who have criticized China or will criticize China of not doing her part, their criticisms are unfounded. China is doing all we can for the struggle against terrorism and know one can ask more of us.

RESOLUTION

The threats of terrorism and state sponsored terrorism must be addressed by all members of the international community because they are universal threats. The fall of the US Twin Towers and the London subway bombings has shown us what a precarious position we're in. The well executed terrorist attacks have given evidence that they are state sponsored. The threat to our stability is here and China believes that she has a solution to combat these threats and nip them in the bud. As a first step towards that goal china purpose that the M21 (Joint Anti Terrorism Task Force) be created. This task force will comprised of all nations who are serious about combating terrorism and will meet every six months in Madrid, Spain. It is time now that we take the fight to the terrorists before they take it to us before another 9/11 or subway bombing reoccur. CHINA suggest that the agents of M21 must posses these qualities: the ability to think outside the box, the ability to perform under stress, the ability to speak more than 2 different languages, and most important of all a will to fight for a cause greater than themselves. China feels that M21's goals should be putting an end to state sponsored terrorism, assisting nations that are or have been effected by terrorism, and cracking down hard on nations that persist on supporting terrorists. To put an end were state sponsored nations that joined M21 will set an example by voluntarily be investigated. This will show the international that the members of M21 have nothing to hide and that the nation that will be investigated have nothing to be afraid of if they are innocent. If for some reason nations M21 wished to investigate refuse to let our agents visit them M21 will act accordingly by putting international pressure on the nation in question. China is against sections or embargoes but if the nations of M21 believes it is the only way to quell the threats China will regrettably have to support the decision. To assist nations that have been or are threatened by terrorists M21 will create a branch called the Paramilitary Wing. This branch of M21 will be made of battle hardened special forces operators. These men will train together extensively so that during times stress they can work together like a well tuned machine. The Paramilitary wing will be sent to nations that are being threatened by terrorists for example nations in Africa that are in turmoil where terrorists could seize control and use them as a base of operation. Unlike the Uation military observers Paramilitary Wing operatives will be armed with the latest weapons and technology the members of M21 can offer. Even though they are armed they will be instructed only to use them as a last resort. Lastly if a nation persists on sponsoring terrorists China feels that the wrath of the international community must be brought down on their heads. The nations M21 create plans to do this. Hopefully they can dissuade these nations from sponsor terror. China hopes that you the international community will approve the establishment of M21. Vlagimr Lenon once said, "The purpose of terrorism is to terrorize." This is true but we must not let our terror consume us. The attacks on the United States and Great Britain has shown us terror can strike any where and that no one is safe. It is time to come together and act!
