Final Speech
Speech 1
Halabja in 1988. On that day, known as Bloody Friday, Iraqi troops dropped bombs that contained
mustard gas and the nerve agent sarin. These chemicals killed more than 5,000 people immediately
and more died later because of injuries. And most of the victims were women and children. Hi, my
name is Christien Ayers, and today I want to talk about the problem of biochemical warfare.
Biochemical warfare is a big problem I want to address because it is cruel, and very harmful. I am
talking about this, specifically, because I feel that when lives are lost that affects the whole
atmosphere around me and changes who I will be. Plus death is a horrible thing to be given to
someone too soon. So I think that biochemical warfare is too dangerous to be a method used to fight
wars so any member state of the United Nations who is caught with chemical weapons shall be
extracted from the UN permanently to prevent this type of warfare. Now to explain why this must be
so, I will talk about why biochemical warfare is very dangerous, how countries can use it for bad, and
the outcomes of biochemical warfare.
Outline:
I.
There Are 5 Countries That (Have Been In Wars Since 2000) That Didnt Sign the CWC Treaty
A. The CWC Treaty
1. The CWC Treaty is the Chemical Warfare Convention Treaty that prevents
countries from developing chemical weapons and also forces countries to
destroy their chemical weapons to prevent chemical warfare.
2. This treaty was signed by all but five member states of the UN
B. The Five Defectors
1. Syria
2. North Korea
3. South Sudan
4. Angola
5. Egypt
6. These are all very dangerous countries now.
C. The Japan Times - News
III.
2. In 2001, anthrax was delivered by mail to U.S. media and government offices.
There were four deaths.
C. Bioterrorism and Biowarfare Today - eMedicineHealth
IV.
Conclusion:
So in conclusion, biochemical warfare is too dangerous to be a method used to fight wars so
any country of the United Nations who is caught with chemical weapons must be removed from the
UN permanently to prevent biochemical warfare from ever occurring again. Biochemical warfare has
no good outcomes whatsoever, and even if a certain side won, the deaths would be so overwhelming
large then it wouldnt even matter. The effects of biochemical weapons are just horrible. No one
deserves to even have know that there is something out there such as diseases that can kill them in
less than three weeks. That is such a horrid thought. And if countries, even ones who dont sign the
treaties, like North Korea, possess chemical weapons, there is this thought in all of our minds. And
those countries need to be removed from a governing body than help make decisions. They should
have no authority and no place in the United Nation especially. This can save lives. You. Me.
Everyone. Please join in the fight to end biochemical warfare. We are defectors.

Thank you.
