Committee: Disarmament
Question of: restricting arms trade between member states and terrorist organisations
Submitted by: Vietnam

Defining terrorism as the unofficial or unauthorized use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims
Reaffirming the arms trade treaty (ATT) from the UN regulating arms trade from small arms to such things as battle tanks,
Reminding nations that weapons have been traded with Hamas who publicly applaud death via terrorism,
Alarmed by reports from Amnesty international saying that over 25 countries have traded weapons with ISIS by ‘lax’ control over arms trade,
Concerned that components can be acquired from countries to potentially create weapons of mass destruction and heavy artillery
Accepting that control of arms trade can be difficult to maintain and that it would take great consideration into member states making reforms on how it can be regulated,
Deeply concerned that in January alone an estimated toll of two thousand, four hundred and sixty nine deaths occurred,
Noting that from the government website from the UK a total of 225 countries have been noted to have low risk to high risk terrorist threats.
Recalling,
Acknowledging the United Nations programme of Action which was to limit small arms trade,
Also acknowledging the United Nations international tracing instrument to make governments make clear markings on small arms and weaponry,

1. Calls upon all members of the United Nations to come together to correctly define ‘terrorism’ to make clear distinctions to countries who they may trad`e with and the reason for the purchase of arms. 2. Proposes that exterior to the ATT member states sign a new proposed treaty to securely enforce rules on arm trade directly approaching the situation to terrorists 3. Recommends that member states take into consideration the amount of lives lost to Terrorism and how they could also propose ideas to stopping arms trades to Terrorists 4. Expresses its satisfaction in allowing experts from Vietnam to assist in working with other countries experts to begin to find ways of stopping arms trade with terrorists. 5. Trusts top arms trading countries to take into consideration more successful ways of making a universal agreement on controlling arms trade. 6. Seeks wide support in finding the most peaceful and effective solution for trading arms with Terrorists. 7. Hopes that member states will support Vietnam in these times as reducing arms may lead to a decrease in Terrorism or give more of a indicator of where arms can come from for member states governments to be able to recognise and sort. 8. Encourages the member states to look at Vietnam’s law on terrorism which may be able to assist in future attempts at stopping arms trade.
