Ad Hoc Terrorism Bangladesh Period 0 THS MUN Conference //**  //**__ Background __**//: With the rise of terrorism comes the rise of anti- terrorism. It’s a circle that never ends, despite the effort of many nations. Terrorism, or the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce especially for political purposes, is a dangerous means of getting power. Terrorism has existed nearly throughout all of history and is seemingly inescapable. State Sponsored Terrorism has existed since the dawn of violence between nations. The Middle East has an increased amount of state sponsored terrorism because it is like a safe haven for terrorists. Most countries are against terrorism because in order to gain a little more power, or a little more land, you have to lose so much. Across the globe countries are falling victim to state sponsored terrorism and it’s difficult to counter.

 * __//United Nations Involvement:// __** The U.N. has done many things to help quash terrorism. They have made several committees like the UNCSFT or the UN Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism. Also, several committees have been made for anti- terrorism movements in the U.N. like the [|Counter-terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED)] . The [|United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy] is a widely accepted strategy used by the U.N. to battle terrorists.


 * __//Country Policy and Involvement//: __** Bangladesh has recently been having several terrorist attacks against their country; however we are battling them with all our strength. Bangladesh feels that the U.N. needs to do something to help many of the countries also being terrorized by the Islamic People. “Bangladesh unequivocally condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. We have ratified 12 of the 13 UN anti- terrorism conventions and are working on ratifying the recently adopted one.” Bangladesh feels that we need to enforce the anti terrorism movements and is willing to help. Bangladesh does not condone the fact that state sponsored terrorism exists. We are strongly in opposition of it, and feel that it is not to be tolerated. Bangledesh feels"Strict law must be put in place domestically and internationally to ensure that no act of terrorism goes without a matching response" mostly because we have been plagued by several cases of outside state sponsored terrorism mainly from Islam.


 * __//Solutions// __****__: __** Bangladesh would like to propose a new committee to add to the force; UNCLE, or United Nations Creating a Lasting Earth. This is a special elite force of the United Nations army that goes undercover in the countries that need help, such as Lebanon with their increasing Islamic terrorist problem. The squad would move in, discover vital openings at which the UN could use against the terrorists. This organization would be a nonprofit organization assisted by private donors. They would have their own committee and meet at least once a month to discuss the terrorism in their assigned countries.


 * __//Suicide Bombing// __**


 * __//Background// __****__: __** Some religions believe that to die for one's religion is noble and will earn you a special place among the heavens. However, when dying for a religion endangers others for the benefit of terrorists, then it must be stopped. In 2005 alone, 460 suicide attacks were made. 224 out of 300 Bombers were motivated by the idea that in the Islamic religion, if they become a martyr then they will be rewarded. Across the globe people have different religions, some that require you to fast, and others to feast. The Islamic peoples believe that if you die in the name of their religion, you will have a special place among the heavens. Suicide bombing fits like a puzzle piece to the terrorists of this religion. This drastic measure can not only kill the bomb carrier but cause severe damage to its surroundings as well as the people around them. This method of terrorism is crude and appalling and must be stopped. Terrorists find suicide bombing a convenient way to attack places almost inconspicuously because the bomb is strapped to a person's body. Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Fatah peoples have made things called "Paradise Camps" a suicide bomber training camp, and children as young as 11 have gone there to basically learn how to die. The children come here because they are promised "Shahabad" which the Palestinian media claims is the "Islamic motivation of suicide terrorists". This clearly is a form of terrorism that is just that, terrible.

__ **//UN// //Involvement//**: __ As horrendous as suicide bombing is, the UN has made many anti terrorist movements. They currently have nine working groups in the UN that specialize in different areas of terrorism. They are Preventing and Resolving Conflicts, Addressing Radicalization and Extremism that Lead to Terrorism, Supporting and Highlighting Victims of Terrorism, Preventing and Responding to WMD Attacks, Tackling the Financing of Terrorism, Countering the Use of Internet for Terrorist Purposes, Facilitating the Integrated Implementation of the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, Strengthening the Protection of Vulnerable Targets, and Protecting Human Rights While Countering Terrorism. Suicide bombing would probably go under the Addressing Radicalization and Extremism that Lead to Terrorism category. They have passed several anti-terrorism movements as well in effort to stem terrorism.

As a result of many attacks against our country despite our efforts, we "unequivocally [condemn] terrorism in all its forms and manifestations". We would be delighted to help any other counties that are being terrorized by this scourge. We have been having many difficulties with terrorists in our country, however they aren't ours. Islamic terrorists have been racking our nation with bombings and shootings. "We have ratified 12 of the 13 UN anti- terrorism conventions and are working on ratifying the recently adopted one". Bangladesh is of the opinion that "Strict law must be put in place domestically and internationally to ensure that no act of terrorism goes without a matching response".


 * __<span style="COLOR: #096df1; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">//Solutions// __****__<span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">: __** Bangladesh is very willing to assist any countries that are also having major attacks. We would also accept help from other more fortunate countries that would be willing to help us on this issue. We would like to propose a division of the nine already functioning terrorist commitees, ACHOO, Artfully Crafted Headquarters Of Organizations. There will be one person in each of the nine comittees that will be called the Headers. These Headers will meet after each comittee meets and compile all of the facts on the meetings and decide what is the best way to deal with the multiple problems. After that, each of the nine will seek out the other comittees in the MUN and ask them for assistance in their various issues that were taken care of.
