Background Information:__** State Sponsored terrorism is a huge problem in the modern world. Though we do not know for sure were State sponsored Terrorism comes from, resent close observations have shown that there are a few countries in the world that would fund these terrorists to do their acts of violence in the world. Some of the countries that supports state sponsored terrorism are Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, and Iran. Pakistan is one of the few countries that have been accused for the support of the terrorism in Kashmir. Even though these and a few more countries believe in state sponsored terrorism, most countries in the world still do not.
 * __Topic 1 State-sponsored Terrorism


 * __UN Involvement:__** "To consolidate and enhance these activities Member States opened a new phase in their counter-terrorism efforts by agreeing on a global strategy to counter terrorism. The strategy, adopted on 8 September 2006 and formally launched on 19 September 2006 marks the first time that countries around the world agree to a common strategic approach to fight terrorism. The strategy forms a basis for a concrete plan of action: to address the conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism; to prevent and combat terrorism; to take measures to build state capacity to fight terrorism; to strengthen the role of the United Nations in combating terrorism, and to ensure the respect of human rights while countering terrorism." This was taken from the UN Website //www.un.org// and talks about how the UN will help fight the terrorists by using any force necessary. Following the 7-11 attack, the UN created to combat terrorism and ensure the respect for human rights.


 * __Country Policy:__** Chile is one such country and they hate the idea that some countries would sponsor such a deadly organization. Chile really despises the idea that someone would want to help cruel people afford weapons to use to kill someone else. Though Chile thinks that state sponsored terrorism must end, but they are not in any position to end it for it is too big a problem. But, my country will be willing to help any other countries that would like some assistance in the stop of these issues. Chile will stand on the grounds that state sponsored terrorism is bad and hopes that no other country would do such things.

 * __Solutions:__** There is very little that Chile has done to stop this problem, but seeing how much it is despised by the country, I think that it would be a good time to introduce it to the topic and see if they are willing to fund the stop of all state sponsored terrorism. I also think that we could sit down and talk to the other countries that do sponsor terrorism and find out why. If it is a matter of because the terrorists are giving them something in return, then we could also give the item to that country so they stop immediately funding these killings.

 * __Topic 2 Suicide Bombings __**
 * __Background Information:__** Suicide bombings have been happening for a long time now. An example of early suicide bombings is the 1983 Truck Bombings. This was an attack with trucks full of explosives that were driven into two barracks and were detonated, killing 300 people. Soon afterward, this technique was adopted by insurgent groups like the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka, and the Islamic groups. One of the more recent attacks was made in Iraq as two car bombs exploded among a crowd and a third blowing up as police and civilians rushed to help them. Some other occurrences of suicide bombings was when terrorists found out that they could load a civilian car of truck with explosives and drive it to the target before blowing it up.


 * __UN Involvement:__** The UN has condemned the Afghan terrorists that killed 5 innocent children in a suicide bombing. The terrorists captured a bus and put bombs in it driving passengers and blew it up in the middle of a crowd. The UN finds this very cowardly of the terrorists and thinks that their way of striking fear into the hearts of the citizens is actually making them more mad instead. But, though the secretary general has condemned many suicide bombings, but they themselves have not done very much to stop it. I think that the UN is only talking on this subject and not doing anything about it. They should really take military action into the situation and put an end to it, but instead, they sit around and talk about it. UN has not done much to help on this topic and should start working up ways to stop these massacres and put an end to terrorism.


 * __Country Policy:__** The country of Chile has not been hit too hard by the suicide bombings yet and are currently doing all it can to preserve that. Chile is also very against the idea of people killing themselves just to kill other innocent people. We are willing, however, to step in and help other countries that are currently in a great state of chaos and prevent more of these disasters from happening again. One way we could help is by giving money to other countries and help fund an organization against suicide bombings.


 * __Solutions:__** I think that one of the only solutions that may be possible and effective against the terrorists most deadly weapon is that from now on, There should be a small law enforcement group dedicated entirely to stopping these random buses and cars just to do a quick search that will not take up to much time. If the driver refuses, then he will be deemed suspicious and will be arrested and interrogated. Another way we think that might be effective is the tightening of patrols and the authority to search other cars when ever they think is necessary. I think that this will make the terrorists reconsider their plan and hopefully put an end to this situation.
