Disarmament Nuclear Non-Proliferation DPRKorea Jordy Z. Per 3

__BACKGROUND ON TOPIC:__ Nuclear Non-Proliferation was created to reduce the amount of nuclear weapons in the world. They have posed a threat to countries since they were first used in World War II. What people are most concerned about is the fact that many countries legally own enriched uranium, and the people think that these countries are using the element to fuel the creation of nuclear weapons. countries involved include South Asia-where nuclear tests are performed, India, Pakistan, North Korea, Brazil, South Africa, Sweden, Ireland, Mexico, Egypt, and New Zealand. Nuclear weapons do not have to be all negative; they can be war deterrents to discourage attack and increase worldwide peace.

__UNITED NATIONS INVOLVEMENT:__ The UN created the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty(NPT) which is a treaty that was signed by many countries worldwide to stop the growth of nuclear weapons. The nations involved with this treaty must stop manufacturing, selling, or transfering any nuclear weapons and devices. However, a growing problem with the NPT is the fact that some countries are threatening to drop their signatories. One organization that was created is the International Atomic Energy Association(IAEA) which was made by the UN to help create peaceful uses from enriched uranium. Another job of the IAEA is to monitor the 189 country signatories so that they do not break this treaty they have signed.

__COUNTRY POLICY AND INVOLVEMENT:__ We as The Democratic Republic of North Korea use nuclear power to protect our people and to create/store energy to have in the necessary time of need. Our ownership is merely a means of protection from other countries who may attack us. We feel that the posession of nuclear weapons is a very smart and safe way to look at it. Certainly we may reduce the amount of weapons, but have no need to dicard of it altogether.

__SOLUTIONS:__ We feel that there should be safe precautions taken before any completely insane use of weapons. Also, they should be used only in critically necessary circumstances. We understand that the rest of the world will feel safer once the United States disposes of many of their Nuclear weapons.

BACKGROUND ON TOPIC: Intercontinental missiles, also known as Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles(ICBM's) are used to deliver nuclear warheads around the world. They have extreme ranges of more than 5500 km. Under the direction of Walter Dornberger the first ballistic missile was created by Nazi germany in 1930. ICBM's can be either land-based or sea-based, and are highly effective because of their ability to travel from one continent to another. People's main concerns include the fact that as technology improves, there are new designs created, long-range and speed is increasing, and surrounding areas are receiving little damage. Countries involved include France, Africa, India, Iraq, Germany, Italy, China, Great Britain, and North Korea.

UN INVOLVEMENT: The main goal of the United Nations is to reduce the amount of existing missiles rather than eliminate them. There are treaties such as th Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty(START) which is between the US and USSR to slowly reduce the number of arms available to countries. Also, the UN security council is trying to reduce the amount of nuclear weapons in the world.

COUNTRY POLICY: North Korea belives that these missiles have an opportunity to be used for good. They should be in our possesion in order to ensure the safety of our country. They will only be used in the state of defense. We agree with the UN on the topic of reducing ICBM's, but believe that they should not be destroyed.

SOLUTIONS: We would like to see a small reduction of dangerous weapons, but believe that countries should still own some in the precaution of safety. The world should slowly reduce the number of weapons and the United States should have an inspection to see that they are not misusing or overpowering themselves with these ballistic missiles.
