__Country Policy and Involvement__: Some countries believe that Kenya may be involve in some activities of the suicide bombings, but we are just characterized because of all the activities we've been doing. The US is putting Kenya as an alert against the suicide bombing. We have not created any of suicide bombing and try to eliminate as much as we can. We have worked hard to prevent this from occurring in other countries around us so this won't occur as much.

__Solutions__: Some solutions we have created is to list done some way of knowing what each country has done in the past to prevent this from occurring. We have created ICSB it meets semi-annually in all the countries that are involved in this organization. This committee allows you to participate in countries that will let you investigate their countries and let them show that they have nothing to hide. Since some would deny that don't participate in such bombings; we can identify it by having some of their own people figure it out and see if they are really doing such acts.

Committee: Ad Hoc Terrorism Topic: State Sponsored Terrorism Country: Kenya Mildrid Maganda, Per. 3

__Background of Topic__: Many countries nowadays have had problems with terrorism and faced many difficulties. Terrorism is to use force or violence against innocent civilians to make a statement about a cause and influence an audience. Two forms of state-sponsored terrorism exist at the beginning of the twenty-first century: governments that carry out terrorism acts against their own citizens, and government support of groups who carry out terrorism against other governments. State sponsored terrorism has started from centuries back when they used attacks to finish their enemies during the mid- 1970’s. Many countries are trying to get rid of the terrorism, but other countries believe that terrorism is the way to deal with problems. It affected many of the countries around the world because they are killing all the people they don’t want to be there. Main group that is the center of terrorism has been Iran for the United States. Without state sponsors for terrorism, terrorist groups would have trouble obtaining funds, weapons, materials, and places to stay in.

__United Nations Involvement __: The United Nations has tried many solutions to make a better progress to all the countries that support terrorism. Many countries have gone together increasing the numbers to their counter-terrorism efforts. It was originally involved making solutions to the countries of terrorism but some don’t want to listen to some of the solutions. The UN has made countries around the world to agree to one solution to fight terrorism on September 19, 2006. Central Intelligence Agency's Counterterrorism Center has been involved around the world to try to stop those who tend to be terrorists to others.

__Country Policy and Involvement__: Kenya has been involved in counter terrorism to stop this from an event that can keep on occurring. Kenya urged States to take measures at the national level to combat terrorism. For its part, Kenya has ratified twelve international conventions. In 2003, it had passed a suppression of terrorism bill, and in 2004, established a Counter Terrorism Centre and an Anti-Terrorism Police Unit. The country was also preparing draft legislation on money laundering, and it had established a specialized unit in the Attorney General’s office to prosecute terrorism and money-laundering cases, and to deal with forfeiture of assets emanating from terrorist activities. Kenya supported the Secretary-General's recommendations to the Security Council, particularly those aimed at assisting States to identify and trace small arms, he said. Commending the Secretary-General on his other innovative measures to deal comprehensively with the problem, he appealed to all members of the international community to extend political, financial and technical support to regional initiatives towards common responsibility in eradicating the stockpiling and illicit trafficking of small arms. Kenya wants to get rid of weapons to stop the small arms that kill because of terrorism.

__Solutions__: Since terrorism has been in so many situations we Kenyans have created a solution to help some of the issues. A solution that we have created is the same as other countries. This committee meets semi-annually to discuss which country to investigate. This committee's job is to investigate countries without distraction. The countrie's permit allows them to investigate the said country. Another solution we created is to monitor the things that are sended or coming in to a country to make sure it isn't something that might cause a problem. With these solutions, we can reduce the problem with terrorism and make the world a better place.
