Committee: UNODC Topic: Migrant Smuggling Dejah H. Per. 3 Country Policy: Madagascar supports the Protocol against migrant smuggling. Our country does not support this type of illegal behavior at all. We are all about the safety of smuggled immigrants and putting away the smugglers. They are part of Africa so their biggest problem if any would be the Europeans because they continuously smuggle immigrants from Africa. Madagascar would like to voice that we support the UN's efforts in preventing migrant smuggling across the world. We would gladly contribute to their plans.

UN Involvement: Migrant Smuggling is defined as “a crime involving the procurement for financial or other material benefit of illegal entry of a person into a State of which that person is not a national resident.” Migrant smugglers smuggle immigrants into countries for the money or for other personal benefits. The UNODC has made efforts to prevent this crime and to ensure the safety of the immigrants smuggled. This crime has affected almost every country worldwide. The INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) is the leading agency trying to take care of migrant smuggling. The skills of the smugglers have increased dramatically in the past few years. This form of organized crime supports other organized crimes like smuggling of drugs. The rate of migrant smuggling is high because the profit is high and there is a low chance of detection and punishment. The smugglers constantly change their routes in response to changed circumstances at the expense of the safety of the smuggled migrants. They have made the justice systems in West and North Africa stronger. The UN has attempted to make the public aware of their efforts to prevent this crime ny putting out ads and public service announcements, and also campaigns with NGOs.  Solutions: Madagascar has a policy called the MSPO--Migrant Smuggling Prevention Organization-- that guards the imports and exports coming in and out of Madagascar. I think there should be heavier security on the things, goods, and people coming in and out of all countries. Smugglers torture the smuggled so they could be hidden anywhere. Madagascar also thinks that the punishment for migrant smugglers should be heavier because they like that the punishment is so bad ans they keep doing it. If they know they are at risk for getting into more trouble they would think about their consequences before they smuggle migrants. Committee: UNODC Topic: Opium in Afghanistan UN Involvement: The UNODC has sent representatives to check on the amount of poppys being grown in afghanistan. In 2001 it was a very small amount and they were convinced that Afghanistan's opium production would shrink enormously and that it would eventually discontinue altogether. In 2003 and 2003, the growth of poppys went soaring high again and the UN had to monitor the production of opium again. Afghanistan produces over 75% of the opium sold in the world. Opium is a poison or a drug to most who use it. Seeing how it isn't legal, the UN must take action against Afghanis who do produce and sell opium. US Military has to target officers who assist and profit from the drug trafficking.
