Statement

There are over one billion firearms in the world. That’s one firearm for every eight people on the planet. The only question is: How do we disarm one person while keeping the other seven unarmed?
In a world with spreading armed conflicts, (cyber-)terrorism and nations seeking nuclear weapons – what can be more important than dealing with disarmament and international security? Let's lay down our arms! We – Duc Le and Svenja Schrader – are therefore representing Uganda at the General Assembly First Committee.

Topics

1. Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy

2. Strengthening Measures towards General and Complete Nuclear Disarmament

Statement

We are fighting for a world where nuclear technology is only used for peaceful purposes. The treaty's objective is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology, to promote cooperation on the peaceful use of nuclear energy and to further the goal of achieving disarmament. Researching this topic, we quickly realized how utopian a world without nuclear weapons is. However, it has broadened our horizon to switch our perspective to a country that considers nuclear technologies to be beneficial for its development, contrary to the prevailing opinion of western civilizations on this issue.
