LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO SPEAK TO YOU ON

THE BEHALF OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION...

TOPIC 1: We the Russian Federation have been fighting our own wars
against terrorism for many years. International terrorism presents a threat to
international peace and security. Any acts, methods and practice of terrorism are
crime and have no justification, from wherever and from whomever they may
emanate, and by whatever motives the perpetrators may be guided. The fight
against international terrorism, which has become one of the priority tasks of the
international community, calls for the joint efforts by all states of the world.

TOPIC 2: The Russian Federation are very aware of the number of terrorist
threats and attacks that have been rising within the past 5 years - especially of
those targeting areas that have high foot-traffic. Airport Security has become one
of the major issues that is constantly discussed. In order to make sure that the
citizens of each of our nations are safe, we the Russian Federation believe that it
is most important that the security measures of the Immigration and airport staff
are of a high standard ensuring that no possible threat or damage can occur.

TOPIC 3: As we all know, the Jammu & Kashmir conflict has been going on
for many, many years. However this is not the first time that the question of this

DISARMAMENT
conflict has been brought up to the chair. The Russian Federation believes that
this case is no longer relevant to the UN but that the countries involved in the
conflict should settle the situation themselves.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,

Having studied the incident of the cargo bombs sent to the US from
Yemen in October 29th 2010 as well as the case of the attempted
bombing of a US airliner on Christmas Day by an alleged Al Qaeda
trainee,

Recalling other terrorist attacks in the past 5 years including the twin
suicide bombings on the Moscow metro in March 2010 as well as the
most recent bombing in Moscow’s Domodedovo airport on the 24th
of January,

Reaffirming that the Russian Federation will continue supporting the

Yemeni armed forces in undergoing the military modernisation
programme,

Alarmed by the fact that Russia is one of the top ten countries that
are at extreme risk of being effected by terrorism - specifically Al
Qaeda,

disturbed
that according to several interviews with the intelligence officials
have confirmed that 36 American ex-convicts arrived in Yemen in
the past year, ostensibly to study Arabic - in which some have
disappeared and are suspected of having gone to Al Qaeda training
camps in ungoverned portions of the country,

Noting further that more concerns were expressed about a smaller

group of Americans who moved to Yemen, adopted a radical form of
Islam, and married local women,

Further Alarmed of the information provided by the UN stating of the

11,000 terrorist acts in 2009 were recorded - in which those attacks
have killed 15,000 people and leaving 32,000 injured and more than
10,500 seized hostages,

Referring to the Russian Federation’s experience having been

fighting militants since the early 1990’s,

Aware of the counterterrorism efforts of the US working with the

Republic of Yemen,

Deeply concerned at the lack of success of these counterterrorism

efforts,

Emphasising that the Russian Federation has been successful in

having caught and eliminated several Al Qaeda militants such as
“Doctor Mohammed” and recently (February 3rd 2010) Al Qaeda’s
co-founder “Mokhmad Mohamad Shabban” whom helped
established Al Qaeda in the Causcasus along with “Ibn al Khattab”
(eliminated by the Russian security forces in 2002),

1.) Requests for the US and the Republic of Yemen to continue their efforts
- however,

2.) Calls upon other nations to start assisting the US and Yemeni armed
forces in their counterterrorism efforts;

3.) Expresses its hope in that the nations involved will contribute to the
development of these counterterrorism plans by:

a) Sending counterterrorism experts to consult with the

counterterrorism team in Yemen;

b) Helping to provide any necessary equipment or

provisions needed;

c) Suggests the possibility of sending troops from other nations to

support the Yemeni and US armed forces;

4.) Reminds that Yemen is not the only nation at the moment in extreme
risk of these terrorism activities;

5.) Further requests that assistance is given to those nations as well as to

initiate several other emergency plans (including back-ups) if the situation
is to worsen;

6.) Reaffirms the need for neighbouring nations in regions under threat of
Al Qaeda to co-operate when creating action plans to combat or prevent
any possible threats, harm or damage that can happen.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,

Aware of the situation of the countries involved,

Having heard of the UN observers on the borders of the nations involved

in the conflict,

Having considered the factors at stake,

Believes that the conflict is irrelevant to the whole of the UN and that the
countries involved in the conflict should resolve the situation
themselves.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,

Concerned of the rising threats and incidents in busy areas with high
foot-traffic,

Deeply disturbed by the recent bomb attack in Moscow’s Domodedovo

airport last Monday on the 24th of January 2011 killing 35 people and
injuring 150 more,

Having examined the reports of several other recent terrorist threats

and attacks aimed at other nations,

Approving of the fact that several nations have started using full-body
scanners in their airports such as the US and Japan,

Taking into account of the economic state of certain nations that may
not be able to afford such expenses in improving airport security,

Keeping in mind that Russia’s airspace is one of the most busy and
frequently used airspaces,

Requests that fellow nations agree to a minimum level of security checking in all
international airports;
Recommends that nations adopt the highest level of security possible that they
are able to afford;

Stresses the need for all security measures to be standardised to a high level;
Asks that the UN provide funding for those nations that are unable to afford the
required technology for the amount of security measures needed;
Suggests for the UN to establish an organisation that specifically deals with
airport security;
Proposes that more thorough body and sniffer-dog searches are carried out
during peak travel times;
Strongly urges that all nations should distribute only biometric passports from
now on and that non-biometric passports are revoked.
